You could use (2x or 3x user name length + some fixed amount), to let people have separate links to User: and User talk: pages, which I find useful.
Nah. If you really want that, just make the strings %T% and %C% automatically substitute for those links, if necessary. Hard limit on sigs for everyone! Allowing people with longer names twice as many characters in their sigs makes the problem worse, by encouraging longer names. Hard limit on sigs for everyone!
Seriously, my only complaint with silly sigs is trying to wade through them in the wikimarkup. Hard limit on sigs for everyone!
Tony (and others) - what length and display mode of page editing gets signatures to the point that they bother you? Past two lines of standard screen size edit window?
Let's see...[[User Talk:Stevage|]] has 22. I'll be generous. 30 characters.
