Signature with ~~~~ not working like it used to
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Author: roman.maurer

Description:
In my preferences I have signature for ~~~ set up to "romanm]] [[User
talk:romanm|(talk)" so that every time I post a signed message I also have a
link to my talk page. As of today, the Wikipedia started to show this instead:

[[User:Romanm|romanm]] [[User talk:romanm|(talk)]]

I did not change anything.

INVALID, the signiture handling was changed on purpose, this is not a bug.

Why? Was there a discussion prior to this? How can we now leave links to our
talk pages automaticaly?

The "]] [[" hack has been deprecated for some months since the introduction of
the "raw signature" user preference. Enable this preference and complete the
brackets like so: [[User:romanm|]] [[User
talk:romanm|(talk)]].
