Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Miscellaneous/Global signature

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Global signature

  • Problem: For people who would like to have some uniqueness in their signatures, the default signature has to be re-configured over and over again every time we entered a new Wiki project. Besides, for people with non-latin usernames (like me), they might want to display a more recognizable, possibly Romanized signature on other Wiki Projects, and a more complicated username in their home wiki.
  • Who would benefit: Cross-wiki users; people having non-latin characters in their user names, and people reading their comments
  • Proposed solution: A global signature (maybe the one used in meta.wiki)
  • More comments: I also hope that the default signature can be bolded, because the current plain link just make it merge into the discussions, and indistinguishable from other blue links.

@Insertcleverphrasehere: How is your signature compatible with conventions, as there is no link to either your user page or your talk page in this project included, just links to outside this project? Grüße vom Sänger ♫(Reden) 05:26, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sänger My user and talk pages on en.wiki are the only ones that I maintain actively, therefore my signature directs to those. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 08:54, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
