{{unsigned}} is used to label unsigned comments on Talk pages. It takes two parameters: the username (or IP address) of the commenter, and optionally the timestamp of the comment.
Usage
The timestamps in the edit history list for any talk page appear inUTC, or in the local time that is set in your preferences. If you did not adjust the time in your preferences, then the times in the edit history list are in UTC.
Talk page times should always be in UTC. So be sure to use UTC time when using this unsigned template. Adjust the time, if necessary, using the difference you designated between the server UTC time and local time. If this is too difficult to figure out, or you are in a hurry, then leave out the time, and only put in the date. Note that failing to provide a timestamp in exactly this format (including the "UTC" in parentheses) can cause talk page archiving bots to fail to archive the thread.
{{subst:Unsigned|user name or IP address|time, day month year (UTC)}}
or
{{subst:Unsigned|time, day month year (UTC)|user name or IP address}}
or
{{subst:Unsigned|time, day month year (UTC) user name or IP address}}
As a convenience, the following formats are automatically converted to thetime, day month year (UTC) format:
The|fix=yes parameter indicates that the comment was signed, but needed to have its signature replaced with a generic one (for instance, because the original signature violated the guidance atWP:SIG).
