	== Signing your comment ==		== Signing your comment ==

			It helps to sign your comments in order to keep track of who said what in a discussion. You don't have to type out your username by hand though – simply add four tildes <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> at the end of your comment and it will be automatically converted to your username, along with a timestamp:

			<blockquote>
			[[User:Fochti\|Fochti]] ([[User talk:Fochti\|talk]]) 19:45, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
			</blockquote>

			Please keep in mind that using <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> while you're logged out, or if you don't have an account to begin with, ''will publicly display your current IP address instead''.
