Currently the fancy signature feature is enabled for everyone, and template transclusion etc. are allowed in it (NOT on wikimedia sites but other mediawiki setups, I mean). This can sometimes be annoying since users have the chance to make use of this feature to include a lot of code or external links in the signature. So, is it a good idea to have an option (configuration setting) to disable the fancy signature feature? Or, if possible, an assignable user right (for example disallow fancysig for '*' but allow it for 'autoconfirmed').
WONTFIX adding this a new core ability. This workaround in LocalSettings should work: --- $wgGroupPermissions['user']['fancysig'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['fancysig'] = true; $wgExtensionFunctions[] = 'efDisableFancySig'; function efDisableFancySig() { global $wgUser; if( !$wgUser->isAllowed( 'fancysig' ) ) { global $wgHiddenPrefs; $wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'fancysig'; } } ---
