Template:Unsigned

This template is for attributing unsigned comments on talk pages — although you may find {{Unsigned2}} easier to use.

Parameters

The unsigned parameter is intended for cases where the comment was "manually" signed (using plain text instead of the magical four tildes: ~~~~). If the commenter did not provide a date, it makes sense to use unsigned=undated; if they provided a username and a date, you still might want to use his template with unsigned= to provide readers a link to the commenter's user page and contributions. See the testcases below.

Note that if you have set a timezone in your preferences, the time shown to you in a page history or diff may be different from the time shown to other users. This may make the date provided by this template look wrong to some users. This effect can be minimized (although not avoided completely) by simply not using the "time" part of the date (as shown in the testcases). Alternatively, you can include the time with the correct timezone (although this information is not shown in page histories and diffs, so you'll have to do more work).

Usage

{{subst:Unsigned|username|date}}
{{subst:Unsigned|username|date|unsigned=}}
