Custom signature opt-out
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

I'm requesting that all signatures be wrapped in a set of classed tags so that those editors with vision problems (like myself) can add a little css or javascript (or have a checkbox that lets it be done server side on their preferences page) to remove custom signatures from everyone. I've seen on WP talk:signatures there was a request to have all custom signatures removed from this site, and my suggestion here would allow those people that think they shouldn't be allowed for anyone if they are not fully customizable and allowed for everyone to disable all signature customizations. To summarize, I am requesting signatures be wrapped in an element to allow users to add something like:
span.signature {background-color: #FFF; color: #000; text-decoration: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", monospace;}

Allowing them to remove blinking, scrolling, and colors that are too bright and fail to meet standards of contrast ratios without having to request every user that has an obnoxious signature to fix it wasting time and causing conflicts and edit wars.

This request is similar to BUG:6273 but different enough I think to be asked separately.

Seems that you just want a tag around signatures with a useful class. Dupe of bug 25141
