සැකිල්ල:Admin help/doc

Comment

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 {{adminhelp}} message box.

If you need help from an administrator, you can place this template on your own user talk page, and write your question below it. Then our administrators will be notified.

Here is what you would put at the bottom of your talk page:

== Question for administrator ==
{{adminhelp}}

--~~~~

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 {{helpme}} 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 {{adminhelp}}; 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 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. (Click here for instant access.)
