Wikipedia:Use the default signature

Wikipedians should use the default signature.

How

 * 1) Open your preferences.
 * 2) Go to the input field labelled "" and empty it.
 * 3) Uncheck the "Treat the above as wiki markup..." checkbox.
 * 4) Click the "" button.

Pros

 * The editors you respect typically already do this.
 * It's better for accessibility to not specify colors.
 * Easier for users (and bots!) to identify your signature.
 * Smaller amount of markup in the edit window.
 * Doesn't give your comment extra weight.
 * More consistent presentation of your signature (nobody sees that special font you specify except you).
 * If your username doesn't match your signature, it can be confusing.

Cons

 * Your signature will be boring.
