Hi! I want to change my nickname so that people can go directly to my talk page from clicking on a part of it. Many other users have this on their nickname, but I can't figure out how to do it. Also, how can you make parts of your nickname different colors? ←wikihorsesFOUNDER→ 19:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

It's really simple. Go to your preferences and enter something like [[User:Swannie|Swannie]] ([[User talk:Swannie|Talk to me]]) to the "Your nickname (for signatures)" box, check the box "Raw signatures (without automatic link)", save and you're done.

The colors are made with either <span> or <font> tags, and that's actually pretty simple thing to do. :) --Jack Phoenix _(Contact) 19:30, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

You recolour it like this (if it's linked)

[[link|<font color="colour">caption</font>]]

Where you replace link with a link, colour with a colour, and caption with a caption. – Smiddle / talk 15:05, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
