Description:
I experienced myself, that signatures will be generated
differently then I taught.

It would be "nice to have" a preciew already during making the
preference setup.

res.29: provides more examples.

Just to know:

"|]]" is used to "escape" the "first" prefix.
There is the question what happens
a) if there is no first prefix as for [[foo|]], [[foo||]], [[foo|||]], ...
and [[foo| ]], [[foo|| ]], ... (the last "clean links", see [[meta:Clean
linking]]).
b) if more then one prefix should be escaped [[wiktionary:en:Main Page||]],
[[wiktionary:en:Main Page|||]], ... (could probably be equivalent to
[[wiktionary:en:Main Page|Main Page]]).

I realy have much time to think about thinks which make not much sense. But they show
m*l*icious usage of sigs and may point to s*c*rity issues.

At http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/User:Gangleri/tests#endless_posibilities a category and
template was used in a sig.

Inclusion of now*k* in sigs seems to be problematical as well because a different behaviour
as mentioned at bug 885 is experienced. With this knowledge v*nd*l*sm is just a matter of
opening a page, four keystrokes and saving.

Please let me know if such issues should be reported here or not.

Is it that hard to hit ~~~~ in the sandbox and hit
preview? Re: comment #1: there's nothing you
can do in a nick signature that you can't type
manually.

Closing as WONTFIX.
