===Dealing with unsigned comments===
When running across a comment that hasn't been signed, any user can add attribution using {{Template|unsigned}}. Simply check the article's history to see who originally posted the comment, then type <nowiki>{{unsigned|</nowiki>''username''<nowiki>}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{SUBST:unsigned|</nowiki>''username''<nowiki>}}</nowiki> after the comment in question (make sure you give correct credit to the correct comment).

If you forget to sign your own comment and don't notice the error until later, '''do not''' sign your comment late; this will result in an incorrect timestamp. If nobody else has added the correct attribution yet, you can mark the comment yourself using {{Template|unsigned}}, as outlined above.
