Template:Admin help/doc

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 admins will be notified.

Here is what you would put on your talk page:

How does X work?
Your question / request. --~

The four tildes " ~ " will automatically add your signature, that is your username and a timestamp.
