Description:
Currently the fancy signature feature is enabled for everyone, and template transclusion etc. are allowed in it (NOT on wikimedia sites but other mediawiki setups, I mean). This can sometimes be annoying since users have the chance to make use of this feature to include a lot of code or external links in the signature.

So, is it a good idea to have an option (configuration setting) to disable the fancy signature feature? Or, if possible, an assignable user right (for example disallow fancysig for '*' but allow it for 'autoconfirmed').

WONTFIX adding this a new core ability. This workaround in LocalSettings should work:

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['fancysig'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['fancysig'] = true;
$wgExtensionFunctions[] = 'efDisableFancySig';

function efDisableFancySig() {

global $wgUser;
if( !$wgUser->isAllowed( 'fancysig' ) ) {
    global $wgHiddenPrefs;
    $wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'fancysig';
}
