{{unsigned}} is used to label unsigned comments in a conversation.

Usage[edit source]

  • {{subst:unsigned3|user name or IP|time, day month year}}
  • {{subst:unsigned3|user name or IP}}
  • {{subst:unsigned3|time, day month year|user name or IP}}
user name or IP
name or IP of user who left comment.
time, date
time and date stamp from edit history.
Times should always be in UTC. Timestamps in the edit history list for any discussion page are in local time if you adjusted the time in your preferences, or in UTC otherwise. Adjust the time, if necessary, using the difference you designated between the server UTC time and local time. If this is too difficult to figure out, or you are in a hurry, then leave out the time, and only put in the date.
