Description

Author: tisane2718

Description:
An extension, perhaps hooking on ArticleSave or ArticleSaveComplete, should be able to sign talk pages automatically. It should be configurable so that the site owner can set it to either sign talk pages itself, or merely warn the user that he hasn't signed the talk page. The user should be able to ignore the warning if he wishes and click again to save without signing. The user should also have a checkbox in preferences that says, "Never remind me to sign talk pages."

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Extensions requests are handled on wiki[0], Bugzilla is for reporting issues with the extensions.

Maybe not, it appears that page has been deprecated.

Sounds like you want to use LiquidThreads.

I've made such JS extension, it can be installed as JS gadget (but the description is currently only German): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Perhelion/signing
