Are signature templates allowed if <code>subst</code>'d?

== Timestamps ==
Since I'm not sure and sort of just plugged this into my preferences without really checking first, is there any major problem (policy-wise) with my signature having a timestamp coded into it (using <code><nowiki>{{SUBST:#time: H:i,n/j/Y}}</nowiki></code>), resulting in my only needing 3 ~'s to sign with a stamp? I've noticed it doesn't really transition well when using {{template|Welcome}}, so I wanted to make sure that it wasn't an issue in any other regard.
