Frankly, in my opinion, the signature policy is not a policy, it is just a copy/paste job from the signature help page. Nothing on that policy resembles anything about how signatures should be displayed and what formatting restrictions are placed on them, especially as the template method outlined is not recommended (I looked at your Wikipedia profile (sorry!) and saw they moved your signature out of the template namespace :P), since Wikia signatures are global, so what's the use in having a signature in the template namespace when it won't actually work? :D

My proposal for a new policy is something like what has been used over on the Narutopedia. It's a simple policy that is very clear about what should be permitted in a signature. Obviously some aspects would need to be changed, like the name, but it's a pretty basic policy that can be used anywhere. Click here to read their policy.
