Creating new prototypes

I'm currently working on a mod that should eventually add a sign that can be edited and viewed to "comment" the interesting "solutions" some "engineers" come up in multiplayer. However the thing is this page https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?tit ... efinitions is very stubby. None of the prototypes really fit, because they usually have extra attributes I don't want. Can I make my own prototype if so, how?

You can make your own instances of prototype types exactly how all other mods do. You can't make a new prototype type as that requires a whole slew of new C++ classes to work which only we can do.

Shame, but I found a workaround and made my sign a container with an inventory size of one.
