Hello MW users,
I have been trying to achieve the following for quite some time but
not sure
what would be the best way to do it.
I am using MediaWiki 1.12 on Debian 5.0 Linux.
I know of two ways by which users can add their signature after adding a
comment to the discussion page on any wiki article.
1. Type "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of the comment.
2. There is a "Insert Signature" button in the editing toolbar by which a
person can include the signature.
So my question is:
In both the above cases, one has to remember to add the signature. Is
there
any way by which the signature gets added
automatically whenever a
user adds
a comment to the discussion page?
I tried checking the extension matrix before posting but nothing came up
related to signatures.

Any ideas?
Tech Geek, that is standard behaviour of WikiForum
http://manual.wikiation.nl/Level_2_wikiforum
It is used in its own namespace but could be used instead of the
discussion page as well. It give
much more structure and enforce respectation the time depending
structure of the thread.
It is propriety software. It is part of Wikibox Blue of Wikiation
This very valueble for my Organisation. I have many doubts, but maybe I
consider to make it Open
Source. I will start a new thread about this.

Sorry but I reply very rare, and sometimes my replies were not commited.
Thanks.

Sorry if I misunderstood, but shouldn't it always go on the final of the
message written?

that makes easier the job of adding ~~~~ than the
job of filling it?
ow sure what you mean. The OP stated the problem that "one has to
remember to add the signature".
Checking whether or not you singed a post is easy.
Finding where your signature should go is extremely hard if you want
to cover all cases.
Cheers,
