This is one of Ireland Information Guide's guidelines
It is proper Wikiquette to sign your posts on Talk pages. This is an essential aspect of communication here. It helps other users understand the progress and evolution of a dialog.
Because of this necessity, Ireland Information Guide user developers created a very easy way to create signatures. To automatically sign your posts with a date-stamp, add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your message; or add three tildes (~~~) to add just your name. For this to work you must be logged in.
(See also m:Help:Automatic conversion of wikitext.)
If you chose to contribute to Ireland Information Guide without logging in, you can consider manually signing your posts with a pseudonym or tag such as --anon.
If your preferred signature consists of non-ASCII characters (Chinese for example), you are encouraged to use ASCII characters in them as well. This is because not everyone can view certain characters, and instead may find a box or other replacement where the Chinese character would properly be.
Registered users can customize their signature by going to Special:Preferences and changing the field "Your nickname (for signatures):". Include whatever is meant to be between "[[user:<yourusername>|" and "]]".
See Ireland Information Guide:Talk page for accepted conventions and guidelines regarding the use of talk pages.
