#The first and easiest way is to go into your [[Special:Preferences|preferences menu]], and put the content of your signature in there.

#The other way to set up a custom signature is a little more complicated, but allows you more versatility with your signature. In your Userspace, create two pages: '''User:YourUsernameHere/Sig''' and '''User:YourUsernameHere/AutoSig''' (substitute your username in place of YourUsernameHere). The '''User:YourUsernameHere/Sig''' page contents should be exactly what you want your signature to be (without the timestamp; that's generated automatically). On the '''User:YourUsernameHere/AutoSig''' page, simply put <u><nowiki>{{User:YourUsernameHere/Sig}}</nowiki></u> (again, substituting in your own username). In your [[Special:Preferences|preferences menu]], all you need to put is <u><nowiki>{{SUBST:User:YourUsernameHere/AutoSig}}</nowiki></u> to complete your signature. Now, whenever you wish to change your signature, you may simply edit the '''User:YourUsernameHere/Sig''' page. | #The other way to set up a custom signature is a little more complicated, but allows you more versatility with your signature.
