== Wildcat signatures == Is it must me or is there a more general problem with the way that "the system" is applying signatures? If I edit an existing section at a talk page, then use the signature icon on the top of the editing box: {{blockquote|{{big|'''{{code|B}}''' '''''{{code|I}}''''' '''{{code|π}}'''}} etc}} not only do I get my sig attached to the end of my post, but ''another'' sig is attached to the section title. What gives? [[User:JMF|πππ½]] ([[User talk:JMF|talk]]) 12:53, 18 March 2026 (UTC) :Not happening for me. That is mostly an "insert text here" button - are you in the "section header" input box when using it? Also it looks like you are trying to do an infinite loop on the second line of [[User:JMF/common.js]]. β [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 13:54, 18 March 2026 (UTC) ::If it happens when you edit an existing section then I guess you see the heading on the first line and not in a box. Does it happen systematically like in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Woughton&diff=prev&oldid=1344121547] with the signature at the end of the heading? Does it happen in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Woughton&action=edit§ion=2&safemode=1 safemode]? [[User:PrimeHunter|PrimeHunter]] ([[User talk:PrimeHunter|talk]]) 14:04, 18 March 2026 (UTC) :::No, not in the section header box. Just editing routinely [as in this case, using the explicit 'edit' function rather than ' reply'. I get a sig at the end of what I have written (as expected) and another gets tagged on to end of the section title. As it has just now, I will leave it for a moment as evidence and then correct it before responding to rest of your questions. --[[User:JMF|πππ½]] ([[User talk:JMF|talk]]) 17:17, 18 March 2026 (UTC) :::Doesn't happen in safemode! (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)&action=edit§ion=22&safemode=1). I don't know for how long it has been going on. :::Anyway, as it does not appear to be a general problem, best close the discussion in this forum and I would appreciate any suggestions at [[user talk:JMF#Wildcat signatures]]. Thank you. --[[User:JMF|πππ½]] ([[User talk:JMF|talk]]) 17:29, 18 March 2026 (UTC) ::::If it doesn't happen in safemode, turn off all your userscripts and try again. See [[:mw:Help:Locating broken scripts]]. β [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 10:28, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
