User:Verbarson

.

My signature
Here is my signature: -- Verbarson talkedits

It includes links to relevant pages. The -- Verbarson part links to here, my User page; the talk links to my User talk page; and the edits links to my Contributions page. The whole is wrapped in a template that keeps it from being split over two lines.

Here is the code that creates it (as entered on my Preferences page under the User profile tab): --&amp;nbsp;Verbarson&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;talkedits For this to work, I must also tick Treat the above as wiki markup

Here is a explanation of each part of the signature code. end template

But there is another aspect to my signature that is invisible to everyone except me.

In my common.css page is the code /* Highlight sig for my use only - bold black text on green */ The effect of this is that when I am signed in (which causes my common.css to be active on every wiki page) and the browser finds an anchor titled "User:Verbarson" (which includes my signature, and a few other items), it will display it in bold black text on a green background, like this: -- Verbarson  talkedits. This makes occurrences of my signature stand out to me, which is useful on Talk and History pages, without it being unduly distracting for any other reader.

Pages I have created, and why
NOTE: although I created these pages, and am chuffed to have done so, they are in no sense "my" pages, and many other editors have enlarged and improved them.
