View source for UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Signatures Require Links

The [[UDWiki:Administration/Policy_Discussion/Signature Policy|Signature Policy]] will be updated to make it clear that you are required to include a handle with a link. The text of the signature policy would be amended to include something along the lines of (changes in bold):

==Required Link==
'''There must be a visible''' handle portion of your signature '''which''' must link to your user page or one of its subpages so that it is easy for readers to learn more about the person behind the signature. Superscript adornments, images and other parts of your signature may link to other locations provided that such links do not violate the rules below.

#::::::Do you know how ''pointless'' this policy is then? I assumed a "visible handle" meant an visible username, so I can scroll over that and click on it, rather than scrolling all over that sig in an attempt to find a link to User:whoever, which is annoying for me, but I'm guessing infuriating for newbies. Nobody is violating this "policy" as written (not even goonsig), so I don't really see the point of having it.

# I'm not at all a fan of writing additional rules in the way this came up. I'm a firm believer that excessive "legislature" makes a wiki too restrictive to editing by newbies and bogs down the system via processing through admin pages. This kind of rule sets a precedent that allows sysops to "make rules as we go" instead of addressing more fundamental problems down the line. Given how my first post was received, I feel like the sysops should consider exactly what kind of environment they're creating and what kind of example they're setting when one non-sysop has to comment on a ban before it gets assessed properly.--[[User:Deadman Walken|Deadman Walken]] 20:17, 5 May 2011 (BST)
