To create a signature that can change at any time, use this process:
1) Create a signature. Here is an example: --[[User:Mattchewy|Mattchewy]] at {{{date}}}
2) Make sure to put a date parameter somewhere in it.
3) Create a new page under your name. Example: User:Mattchewy/sig
4) Put your newly created signature in your new "sig" page.
5) Create a new 'include' page. Example: User:Mattchewy/sig/include.
6) In your 'include' page, put this text {{User:Mattchewy/sig|date={{{date}}}}}
7) Save the page, then go to the my preferences link and change your profile signature to this: {{SUBST:User:Mattchewy/sig/include|date={{SUBST:CURRENTTIME}}, {{SUBST:CURRENTDAY}} {{SUBST:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{SUBST:CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC)}}
Now at any time, change your signature page(User:Mattchewy/sig), and all of your previous signatures will change. Also, make sure you use ~~~ for your signature instead of ~~~~.
