:::::::Hmmm...It doesn't seem to appear. I'll take a look. {{User:Starvoid/sig}} 10:23, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
::::::::So, I checked it and the colors should work now. {{User:Starvoid/sig}} 10:32, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::Thank you!--[[User:MetaKirbo|MetaKirbo]] ([[User talk:MetaKirbo|talk]]) 10:45, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::Of course, but it appears that it still isn't showing up. Would you be interested in joining the discord server for easier access to discussions? Here's the link: https://discord.gg/4y9BPyj {{User:Starvoid/sig}} 10:48, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::::No thank you, I'm good. should I ask someone like [[User:Gigi|Gigi]] or [[User:DeepFriedCabbage|DeepFriedCabbage]]? I appreciate your help <big>MASSIVELY</big> though!--[[User:MetaKirbo|MetaKirbo]] ([[User talk:MetaKirbo|talk]]) 10:53, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::::Once again, no problem! However, I talked to Gigi and only wiki support can access your settings. I'd suggest talking to them. {{User:Starvoid/sig}} 10:56, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::::::Thank you SOOOO much! without other editors on the wiki to help, I would be nowhere. like I've said a million times, thanks!--[[User:MetaKirbo|MetaKirbo]] ([[User talk:MetaKirbo|talk]]) 10:59, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::::::One more thing. When your signature appears, do you happen to type it all out? There's a quicker way to do that by using tildes. (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) {{User:Starvoid/sig}} 11:14, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::No I don't. I do this <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>  . bye! (∩ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)⊃━☆゚.*  --[[User:MetaKirbo|MetaKirbo]] ([[User talk:MetaKirbo|talk]])
::::::::::::::::I'm sorry, but didn't you ask for help with your signature? I'm giving you a way to make it show up. If you do not use the four tildes, it will not appear. {{User:Starvoid/sig}} 11:41, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::::I do--[[User:MetaKirbo|MetaKirbo]] ([[User talk:MetaKirbo|talk]]) 11:46, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::::Then are you willing to use tildes? {{User:Starvoid/sig}} 11:49, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::::::I already use them--[[User:MetaKirbo|MetaKirbo]] ([[User talk:MetaKirbo|talk]]) 11:55, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::::::I've just had a thought. could I type <nowiki>{{User:MetaKirbo/Sig}}</nowiki>?--[[User:MetaKirbo|MetaKirbo]] ([[User talk:MetaKirbo|talk]]) 11:57, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::::::::Ah, sorry. I misunderstood. It might show up if you do it that way. Another thing, though. Did you press save when setting your signature? {{User:Starvoid/sig}} 11:59, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::::::::Probably, it's quite rare that I don't save and most of the time its on purpose--{{User:MetaKirbo/sig}}

:::::::::::::::::::::::<big><big>WOO HOO! YES! IT WORKS!</big></big> Thank you so much for your help!--{{User:MetaKirbo/sig}}
:::::::::::::::::::::::<small>(preceding comment written at 12:05, 13 April 2023 (UTC))</small>
::::::::::::::::::::::::Anytime! Come talk to any of us if you need help in the future. {{User:Starvoid/sig}} 12:07, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::::::::::::I probably will 🤣🤣🤣--{{User:MetaKirbo/sig}}
:::::::::::::::::::::::::<small>(preceding comment written at 12:11, 13 April 2023 (UTC))</small>
::::::::::::::::::::::::::Hello MetaKirbo. May I suggest that you double-check your preferences? In particular, following the instructions on the [[Help:Custom Signatures]] page that Starvoid pointed out, please make sure both that the text in 'Signature' is set to <nowiki>{{User:MetaKirbo/sig}}</nowiki> and that '''''you have checked the 'View signatures as wiki text' checkbox''''' before pressing Save at the end of the page.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::I see that you've found a workaround for getting your custom signature to show up in the meantime. If you continue to manually type out the template name that can work but please append five tildes afterwards (<nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki>) to put a timestamp after your signature (eg 12:13, 13 April 2023 (UTC)). I would really recommend however that you double-check your preferences as it is easy to forget things like this at the best of times.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Happy editing! {{User:WillIdleAway/sig}} 12:13, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
:::(For clarity, if everything is configured correctly, four tildes would append the timestamp automatically to your custom signature without you having to both type out the full template name and remember to append five tildes at the end.) {{User:WillIdleAway/sig}} 12:17, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::I think It works now, this is just a tester --{{User:MetaKirbo/sig}} 12:19, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Now there's big text everywhere--{{User:MetaKirbo/sig}} 12:21, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
::I wonder if the odd text was something to do with a newline that was in your signature page. I've taken the liberty of removing it, and that should fix it.
::(Sidenote: In future please also refrain from setting indents in front of other people's comments. I personally prefer to reset indents after a certain point as the text becomes unreadable.)
::Again, happy editing! {{User:WillIdleAway/sig}} 12:27, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
::Ok thanks for fixing my sig and giving me a tip!--{{User:MetaKirbo/sig}} 12:29, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
==Unsourced file==
Hi, the personal image you have uploaded, [[:File:Piano Kirby Defenatly not by.jpg]], does not have a source. All images on WiKirby must have a source, or they will be deleted, even personal images. Can you find where you originally got this image? If you made it yourself with a program, you can enter <code>self</code> as the source. {{User:Kirb/sig}} 16:33, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
:since I used a bot, should I type "Bot"? --{{User:MetaKirbo/sig}} 16:50, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
::Hi, "bot" is not a valid source. How did you create this image? If a bot created it, your source can be the bot, but please be more specific than just  "bot". Also, the type of the image needs to be "user" since it's a personal image; for more details please check the [[WiKirby:Personal content policy|personal content policy]]. Feel free to ask more questions if you need further help. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 18:05, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
== Tips / heads-up ==
Hey MetaKirbo! I appreciate all the energy you have to contribute to the wiki, and how you've improved over time, but there are still some things you should keep in mind here on WiKirby and in wikis in general.
I deleted the "My Friend and the Setting Sun" you created, as it's not an official name. Before creating further redirects, review the [[WiKirby:Naming policy|naming policy]] and [[Help:Redirects|help page about redirects]]. I didn't remove it from your userpage but you should.
Secondly, I saw you left a message in starpunch's talk page, and four hours after you went to leave a message in Vipz's talk page claiming that starpunch "hadn't replied to you". There are couple of things to note here. First, editing WiKirby is no one's job, even of staff members, we do it out of passion and on our free times, and expecting someone to reply to you in four hours (in particular in late hours in the Americas) is extremely unreasonable. Please wait at least 24 hours next time, as even if someone isn't around, someone else will likely reply to you. Secondly, jumping in to multiple members like that just because someone didn't reply to you in a couple hours isn't a good attitude. Not only does it split the conversation, it sounds rude to the other user that didn't reply in time. If you are looking for fast responses, join [[WiKirby:Discord|our Discord server]] because multiple people there ended up commenting about what you asked in the talk pages, and you would have your answer by then, and it looks like you value fast responses, something that it's impossible to promise in the wiki itself but that is more likely to happen in a Discord server. I'm unsure why you refused Starvoid's initial invite, but please reconsider.
Finally, your page in your sandbox. It's not ready. I see many game names without italics but the biggest thing however is how you currently have two claims without sources: one that Jun Ishikawa composed it, another that this song appears in ''Dream Buffet''. Under no circumstances should you claim something on WiKirby that you aren't sure. In fact, by working on a page, it's expected that you know enough about the subject to cover at least most of it. It's fine if you cannot complete every single section (in particular I cannot explain song compositions, so when I create song pages I never fill them), but you currently have two sections in your page where you ask others to complete. Of course, you can ask for help of other editors, I'm not saying you can't, but this signifies the page is far from ready. But as a heads up for the future: please only start creating pages you feel you know enough to make most of them, unless the page is very big or something. This one is a very short page, but due to how this song really didn't get many appearances it's expected to be created with almost all information about it filled.
That is what I have. I hope this helps. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 13:45, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
:Ok then, I just didn't think since over in England it was midday. I created the re-direct since over in England we call it "My Friend and the Setting Sun". I really will try to adjust to wikirby's timezone and style.--{{User:MetaKirbo/sig}} 15:21, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
== Enjoy your trip! ==
Hi! I don't believe we've formally met, but I've seen your edits from the Recent Changes. I'm ShadowKirby <s>or ShadowMagolor, both work</s>!
I saw that you're planning on visiting Tenerife today! It's one of my favourite places in the whole world! It's beautiful, the weather's always nice, there's a lot to do (even by Canary Islands standards). Don't feel pressured to answer since I understand it could be private, but I was wondering if you intend on climbing the Teide, or well, visit the ocean beach (please do beware of the waves!!)
Anyhow, once again, enjoy your visit to the islands! ♡
Edit/PS: oh, be sure to visit Siam Park! It's said to be the #1 water park in Europe for a reason!
{{User:ShadowKirby/sig}} 09:03, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
:Thank you! I plan to visit <s>[[Mt. Dedede]]</s> Mt. Teide and Siam parks as well as going to the warm ocean too!--{{User:MetaKirbo/sig}} 09:10, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
:Tenerife was really amazing, it was just how you described it. The views were amazing (Especially up the caldera del Teide) and Siam park was so good i went twice. ¡adiós! ¡España fue la mejor! pero ahora Inglaterra parece tan fría 🥶. (sorry if you don't understand that.)
::Haha, I do speak Spanish. Hopefully this Summer will warm up for you (eventually) ;) I'm very happy to hear that you liked Tenerife!! {{User:ShadowKirby/sig}} 07:52, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
::: I also hope to go again next year. At the hotel I stayed in it was just amazing and the food was incredible 🍖🥢!--{{User:MetaKirbo/sig}} 08:47, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
