As a reminder: it's only 4 tildes ("<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>) to put both your user id and the date (in [[UTC]]). Like this -> [[User:RobLa\|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa\|talk]]) 03:47, 15 July 2020 (UTC)▼ The several tilde signs ("<code><nowiki>~</nowiki></code>) in a row have special meaning on all wiki pages, and are especially useful on Talk pages: * 3 tildes ("<code><nowiki>~~~</nowiki></code>") is replaced with your user id (e.g. "[[User:RobLa\|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa\|talk]])") ▲~~:whoops, I forgot to sign my comment on July 10.
