The reason I left the current templates untouched was because people still use them, and to move their signatures would require us editing their personal user preferences which front what I know isn't possible on the local wiki level. A lot of users use to use signatures in the template space but began to move it to their userspaces recently. I've seen it on a lot of other wikis too oddly. While we can't change other people's signatures, we can go through the wiki and clean them up by using substitution (subst:) so that the templates can be moved to their user space as part of maintenance and we can inform the user as appropriate that their signature has been moved and then it would be up to the end user to change their preferences to account for the change.
