Problem with your custom signature

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
  4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

Hi, on Homebrew Computer Club#In popular culture, you added a note that its depictions have had inaccuracies. This is certainly believable, but I think the article could benefit from some examples of its misrepresentation. Please consider revisiting if this interests you! -Student298 (talk) 15:15, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hi Retiredprogrammers! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Also, to let you know, when you moved the Chip Pearson page it effectively broken a few wikilinks from other pages, but I've fixed those for you. -Kj cheetham (talk) 21:34, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh thank you so much! I'll be more careful. I was trying to figure out how to move to a disambiguation page rather than move that way but I was afraid of breaking even more links... 30 January 2021 (UTC)
