Editing Brighter Shores:Signatures (section)

===Creating your signature===
Users interested in creating their own signatures can find help on [[Brighter Shores:Customising your signature|this page]]. When creating signatures, the following rules apply to both editors creating their own signatures and to editors creating signatures for others.

# Signatures must link to the user's userpage—or the user's talk page, if they prefer not to have a user page on this wiki. Signatures may link to both if the user so desires. The name does not need to be the user's exact account name, but it must be a name by which the user is widely known. Without this provision, signatures do not provide the useful ability to identify a comment from a certain user on a page.
# Signatures may not exceed the '''maximum height of 31px'''.
# Users may only have one signature template page. That page may contain more than one signature, but only one may be used at a time. Methods by which this can be accomplished are listed below.
# Signatures cannot contain more than two images, since signatures with more than this can cause computers to load them slowly.
# Images contained in signatures may not be higher than 31 pixels. Users can scale images to 31px high without distorting them by using the code: <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.png|x31px]]</nowiki></code>
# Signatures must not contain linebreaks. This results in a line break when the signature is used, which interferes with formatting and other page code.
# Signatures that use HTML tags must be balanced. This means that every <nowiki><span> must have a matching </span></nowiki>. You can tell if your signature is balanced by typing something after it. If it is plain text, then your signature is balanced.
# Signatures must not be excessively long. There is no set limit for how long is too long, but use common sense.
# Signatures may not be animated. This includes animated GIF images, GIF slideshows that switch between still images, or flashing text.
