Editing Encyclopedia:Signatures (section)

====Syntax guidance====
If you attempt to save a signature with certain types of errors, you will see an error message. These errors can be a little tricky to diagnose, but here are some tips:
* Each opening tag must have a corresponding closing tag. Example: each {{tag|b|o}} needs a matching {{tag|b|c}}. This applies to <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>'''</nowiki></code> markup as well.
* Tags must be "nested" correctly. Example: <code><nowiki><b>User:<i>Example</i></b></nowiki></code>, not <code><nowiki><b>User:<i>Example</b></i></nowiki></code>. 
* If an opening tag appears within a wikilink, it must be closed within a wikilink. Example: <code><nowiki>[[User:'''Example''']]</nowiki></code>, not <code><nowiki>[[User:'''Example]]'''</nowiki></code>.
* Your signature must include a link to your user page, talk page, or contributions. At least one of the three must be on the same Wikimedia project as the page where the signature is used.<ref group="Note">[[mw:New requirements for user signatures#Require a link to user page, talk page or contributions]]</ref> (This is a technical requirement enforced by the MediaWiki software.)
