{{caution
| 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 [[Template talk:Help me|the talk]] page, and first test your changes in the [[Template:Help me/sandbox|/sandbox]] and [[Template:Help me/testcases|/testcases]] pages.
}}

This is the {{Tl|Admin help}} message box.

If you need help from an administrator, you can place this template on {{edit|Special:MyTalk|your own user talk page|section=new|preload=Help:Contents/adminhelppreload|preloadtitle=Help me!}} or the [[WP:NS#2|talk page]] of any article which requires an administrator to perform a task. (If you cannot edit those pages, you may use the [[Wikipedia:Help desk|Help desk]].) Write your question below the template. Our administrators will be notified.

Here is what you would put at the bottom of the talk page:
<pre>
== Question for administrator ==
{{Admin help}}
<Your Question>

--~~~~
</pre>

The four tildes "<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>" 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 {{Tl|Help me}} instead, or post at the [[WP:HD|Help desk]] or [[WP:VP|Village Pump]].

If you require help in regards to blocking, deleting, protecting, or administrative matters, you can use {{Tl|Admin help}}; but if you are currently blocked and wish to request unblocking, it is recommended you use {{Tl|Unblock}} instead of the helper templates. This ensures your request is included in the [[:Category:Requests for unblock|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 {{Freenode|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.

For those who ask:

* {{Tl|Help me}} – When you don't require help from administrators specifically, but an experienced editor is enough.

For helpers who answer:

* {{Tl|Helpme-irc}} – A message that asks the user to come to IRC for more help.
* {{Tl|Admin help-nq}} – When the editor posted {{Tl|Admin help}}, but did not ask a question.
