::Mine? wow, this is awesome. Am glad at your contributions, especially, in the technical areas of Yorùbá Wikipedia, you are wonderful. Thanks, you're a wonderful contributor. Macdanpets
:@Deborajay, thanks for your kind words. I am impressed by Mac's commitment to the project as well and I am happy to continue to support him. As for you, Deborajay, words are not enough for me to describe you. You are a classical example of a good Wikipedian. Despite the fact that you neither speak nor understand Yoruba Wiipedia, you are doing so much work and adding so much value to this project. I wish to reiterate that your contributions to Yoruba Wikipedia are appreciated and I'd be happy to provide any support. Regards.

== How to sign your posts ==
=== Preferred option ===
==== Using four tildes ====
There are two ways to sign your posts:
# At the end of your comments simply type four [[tilde]]s (~), like this: <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>.
# If you are using the [[Help:Edit toolbar|edit toolbar]] option (by default, it appears above the edit box), click the signature icon<ref group=Note>If your browser is set to not show pictures, the button will be called "Your signature with timestamp". If the browser's settings don't allow JavaScript, the buttons will not appear.</ref> [[File:OOUI JS signature icon LTR.svg|22px]] to add two hyphens and four tildes like this: <code>{{nobr|<nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>}}</code>.
The four tildes will be automatically replaced with your signature after you have published the changes, as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Wikimarkup !! Resulting code !! Resulting display
|-
| <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>
| <code><nowiki>[[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]])</nowiki> {{CURRENTTIME}}, {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC)</code>
| [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) {{CURRENTTIME}}, {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC)
|}
Since typing four tildes adds the time and date to your resulting signature, this is the preferred option for signing your posts in discussions.
Note that if you choose to [[Wikipedia:IPs are human too|contribute without logging in]], regardless of whether you have [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|an account]], you should still sign your posts. In this case your [[IP address]] will take the place of your username, and will link to your contributions history. Your IP address might look something like '''192.0.2.213''' or '''2001:DB8:CEEE:21B:DB60:07FE:4277:63FF'''.
If, for some reason, you are not getting the above results when signing, see the [[User talk:SineBot|SineBot Frequently Asked Questions]] for tips.
=== Other options ===
==== Using three tildes ====
Typing three tildes results in the following:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Wikimarkup !! Resulting code !! Resulting display
|-
|<code><nowiki>~~~</nowiki></code>
|<code><nowiki>[[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]])</nowiki></code>
| [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]])
|}
However, since this does not date-stamp your signature, you may wish to sign this way only when leaving general notices on your user page or user talk page. This is also a convenient shortcut (rather than typing out the full code) when you want to provide a link to your user page.
==== Using five tildes ====
{{Shortcut|WP:5TILDES}}
Typing five tildes will convert to a date stamp with the current date and time, without adding your signature, like this:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Wikimarkup !! Resulting code !! Resulting display
|-
|<code><nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki></code>
| <code>{{CURRENTTIME}}, {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC)</code>
| {{CURRENTTIME}}, {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC)
|}
In general, when communicating with others, you should use one of the previous options and not only a timestamp. There are exceptions to this such as, when requesting assistance from the [[WP:3O|Third Opinion project]] the requested format for signing is the five tilde signature to slightly help improve neutrality from the responding volunteer.
In some [[Help:Template|templates]], this is the preferred way to add the date.
