[edit] Known Issues with the Signature Detection
An inherent problem with analyzing signatures is that people use diferent styles, and some even fail to include them at all in their votes. These are some known issues with the signature detection in the Library.
| # | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | If a user (1) uses a non-standard timestamp (i.e., something that isn't 08:23, 18 May 2006 (UTC)), and (2) their vote is subsequently moved, and (3) the mover happens to append their own signature on (4) the same line as the original vote, the vote will be flagged as belonging to the mover. I'm hoping that this is not a common problem. I haven't been able to find instances of this yet. | On hold |
| 2 | If a user uses a link to their contributions as the only link in their signature, the signature will not be detected. (I'm sure I've seen this before in an RfA, I just can't find it - can anyone point me in the right direction? - will fix once an example has been found) | Pending specimen |
| 3 | If a user does not use any links in their signature, the signature detection will fail. (e.g., Nephron in Joturner's 1st nomination) | Will not fix |
| 4 | Fixed in 1.09c (iffy mode 1) | |
| 5 | If (1) a user includes more than one link to a user page (like Werdna648, who has a link to Werdnabot in his sig), and (2) the link to the non-user user page (in this case, Werdnabot) comes later, the vote will be flagged as coming from the non-voting user. (Werdnabot) | Will not fix |
| 6 | If User:ExampleYY posts a vote like the following (i.e., inclusion of a sig/timestamp combination before their actual sig/timestamp), User:ExampleXX will be flagged as the voter.
|
On hold |
| 7 | If user uses "#:", "#*", or "##" to denote multiple lines in their vote, signature will not be detected (Zappa.jake and Bookofjude) | Fixing (iffy mode 2) |
