Description en:Fl 2009-05-27 10:08:49 UTC
It appears the plan is to migrate WMF sites to the LQ system on discussion pages, if so, I suspect there will be an outcry about the superseding of customizable and creative signatures with the drab LQ interface. Additionally, there are several users who use a different name on their signature and in their username.

To preempt that, I suggest that support for some kind of customization within the LQ box and styling (perhaps making the default User (Talk | contribs) customizable).

It would be, in theory, quite simple to replace the use of a person's name in the threaded display with their signature, pulled from their profile. Might need some additional caching infrastructure, though...

(Batch change)

These are low-priority miniprojects that I can mop up at some point when I'm doing general code work as opposed to working on a specific projects.
