Step 1: An Introduction to a Sig
Well, what is a sig? A sig is a line of text that tells us who you are, with links to your userpage, talk page, and any other pages you want. There's two major ways to do this.

To use your preset sig, just type in four tildes like this --> ~. That will add your sig and a timestamp. To do this, you'll set up your coding on a page somewhat like User:YourUsername/Sig1, make ANOTHER page called User:YourUsername/Sig2, and write on that page. Then, under "Preferences" on the drop-down menu at the top right corner, change your sig to. Then, when you sign your posts, simply put four tildes. Mine would look like this:

 S   u b    Z e r o     F l a m e           s       23:19, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

The second way to do it is to put the template for your sig page, in my case,. Then, you'll add FIVE tildes like this --> "", which will add a timestamp. Timestamps are required on all official talk pages and forums, and most user talk pages. Most people use this way, so you can change which sig you want to use, or when you go to another Wikia site, your sig won't be a boring template.
