Usage
This template is useful for user signatures to circumvent SUBST.
Use this template in Special:Preferences in the Signature field:
{{SUBST:Nosubst|User:Example/Signature}}
Detailed Help
If you'd like a signature that is dynamically updated, i.e., one that displays every signature you've ever left on the wiki as your current signature, here's how:
- Create a subpage for your signature. You can use mine as an example: User:Sevastain_Pinatsch/sig
NOTE: Please don't attempt to overwrite it: Copy the raw code to your own subpage. - Go to your "My preferences" page (near the top right of your screen), and in the "Signature" entry box add {{SUBST:nosubst|User:YourUsername/sig}}, inserting your own usernname, of course.
- Tick the "Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)" checkbox just below it, and you're done!
- Use the 4-tildes or signature button (File:Button sig.png) to use your saved signature in talk page messages.

 I am not an orphan!—For an example, see Template:Nosubst
While this may appear to be an unused file or template, it is either linked via a direct external / text link, part of a random image subroutine, linked to MediaWiki configuration files, or is otherwise used in a manner that is difficult to detect.
