Support Community Signatures in Automoderator talk page messages
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

As a user that has their edit reverted by Automoderator and is sent a talk page message, they should see the preferred formatting for their wiki in the signature on the talk page message.

Notes:

Using ~~~~ allows the signature to follow the standard defined by the wiki.
@Kgraessle added the dashed with a space: -- ~~~~ This is what Turkish Wikipedia uses.

The usage of the two dashes is also defined per wiki, but not part of the ~~~~. Of course, it differs from wiki to wiki with a global trend of just ~~~~.

No dashes ~~~~ for Indonesian WIkipedia, French Wikipedia and English Wikipedia (I think English used to have -- ~~~~ IIRC ).

Two dashes but no space --~~~~ is implemented at Chinese Wikipedia, German Wikipedia and Japanese Wikipedia

It would be nice to use the default format defined for each wiki. :)

DiscussionTools implement that using the discussiontools-signature-prefix message. I also found sig-text (core) and wikieditor-toolbar-help-content-signaturetimestamp-syntax (WikiEditor (2010)).

Event Timeline

@Kgraessle: Assuming this task is about the Automoderator code project, hence adding that project tag so other people who don't know or don't care about team tags can also find this task when searching via code projects or looking at workboards. Please set appropriate code project tags when possible. Thanks!

Ok, I will remember to do so going forward. @Aklapper thanks for the reminder!
