==Proposed template use==
 
I created a template, <nowiki>{{sign}} </nowiki> (modeled after the entry at the top of your user talk page), that has brief instructions on signing entries (like on article discussion pages and user talk pages) that says: “{{sign}}”. Do you see any benefit in adding it to discussion pages preemptively? My thoughts are that it might avoid [http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Talk:Narrowing_a_rearend this]. If not, it can be used on a case-by-case basis, no problem.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 15:18, 17 April 2012 (MDT)
 
:For now I've decided to leave this alone. If/when there's a need the template exists or another one can be created, or it can be done by some other means altogether. If the contributors read the info carefully enough there shouldn't be a big problem anyway.--[[Special:Contributions/75.131.4.85|75.131.4.85]] 17:42, 18 April 2012 (MDT)
 
::OK, that sounds fine. It might not be a bad idea to see if we can add that message by default to all Talk pages.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 19:03, 18 April 2012 (MDT)
 
 
:::Other wikis that I edit use only four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) to generate a date stamped signature.  If we are going to use a tilde shortcut here, I believe it should conform to the standards used elsewhere so there is no confusion. If the two dashes are needed for some reason here, then they should be automatically added to the signature output, not prepended to the input string.

==Navigation==
 
Jon, it would be nice if when navigating away from a page by clicking on a link, etc. (like when clicking on the AMC V-8s page from the "Engine" page as an example), that when using the back button to return to the original (Engine) page that the position of the page would be the same as where it was when the page was left, and not just be returned to the top of the page. I don't know if 'anchor links' is what would do this or what, I only briefly researched it before appealing to you.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 22:21, 28 April 2012 (MDT)
 
:By my understanding, we aren't going to be able to do this "server-side", by altering anything on our end, and that it's a "client-side", browser-dependent issue. When I use Safari as my browser, using the back button returns me to the position of the page when it was left.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 22:48, 28 April 2012 (MDT)
 
::I'll look into possible changes to my Chrome settings, thanks.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 22:50, 28 April 2012 (MDT)
