User:Candc4FTW/Sign This

My Attempt at a Template that would sign your posts when you typed {{Sign This}} the coding for my attempt was:

{{{--~~~~|--~~~~}}}

It stated that: if --~~~~ did not exist, --~~~~ would be added.

Instead it would insert my signature, see example below

I tried using no wiki to combat this, instead i got this

--~~~~

this is my failure report
