This template allows use of signature templates without substitution of the code. To do this, the signature code should be placed on a user subpage: User:USERNAME/Sig. Then, in the signature box, you should place,
{{Nosubst|User:USERNAME/Sig}}. This will allow your signature to stay as a template without inserting the raw code onto pages.
