 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Admin help. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is part of a notification system that involves a category, some bots and an IRC channel. Please do not modify this template without first discussing your suggested changes on the talk page, and first test your changes in the /sandbox and /testcases pages. |
This is the {{Admin help}} message box.
If you need help from an administrator, you can place this template on , the talk page of any article which requires an administrator to preform a task (such as a HM), or the Help desk, and write your question below it. Then our administrators will be notified.
Here is what you would put at the bottom of the talk page:
== Question for administrator ==
{{Admin help}}
<Your Question>
--~~~~
The four tildes "~~~~" will automatically add your signature, that is, your username and a timestamp.
Note: A lot of things can be handled by experienced users. The best way to contact an experienced user is to use {{Help me}} instead, or post at the Help desk or Village Pump.
If you require help in regards to blocking, deleting, protecting, or administrative matters, you can use {{Admin help}}; but if you are currently blocked and wish to request unblocking, it is recommended you use {{Unblock}} instead of the helper templates. This ensures your request is included in the requests for unblock category.
Technical details
When used, this template categorizes the talk page into Category:Wikipedians looking for help from administrators.
The IRC channel #wikipedia-en-help connect is notified when this template is used. You can join that channel (chat room) if you want to help out or if you want to get real-time assistance.
