This page in a nutshell:
Under no circumstances should you should put your signature on any article.

Never sign an article. This rule is pretty straightforward; signing your name on an article would indicate that you owned it. After all, this is a wiki, and everything released here (excluding things already protected by copyright laws) is under the fair use rationale.

While some fan sites may list contributors of information to give credit, we can't do that in articles. With this site being a wiki, a single page may have had hundreds of different players contributed. On the history of each page (accessible through the "history" tab at the top of the page), every contributor is listed automatically, making listing contributors unneeded.

In fact, you shouldn't sign any page, except for:

  • Your own userpage and associated subpages.
  • Talk pages.
  • Discussion pages under the namespace RuneScape:
  • Pages under the namespace Forum:.
  • Sandboxes.
  • Articles that give users permission to sign them. These include RS:SIG and editor's guestbooks.
  • The Forums.
