* Many threats are empty, but don't make that evaluation yourself; leave that responsibility to the Trust and Safety team.
* If you are in immediate danger, call your [[wikipedia:List of emergency telephone numbers|local emergency services]].
* If comfortable, you should also call emergency services if someone else is at immediate risk. We can not always respond.

'''Contact Trust and Safety''' <br>
Immediately file a report [[<tvar name=reports>reports:report/new</tvar>|here]] or, if you are unable to, email <tvar name=tsmail>'''<code>{{@|ts|miraheze.org}}</code>'''</tvar> with details of the threat.
</div>
*This address is for <u>threats to life, limb, property or regarding child abuse ''only''</u>. For other concerns, please visit the [[<tvar name=helpcenter>Special:MyLanguage/Help center</tvar>|Help center]] or ways to [[contact us]].
*Include a screenshot of the threat and a link to the page.
*We will take appropriate action, such as tracing locations and contacting authorities. We will not know what happens after and can not tell you.
* You should try and get attention of a Trust and Safety member via [[<tvar name=irc>Special:MyLanguage/IRC</tvar>|IRC]] or [[<tvar name=discord>Special:MyLanguage/Discord</tvar>|Discord]] until you know we are aware.

<div style = "font-size: 110%;">
'''Contact administrators'''<br>
In addition to emailing Trust and Safety as above, please notify local wiki administrators and <tvar name=stewards>[[Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|{{int:Group-steward}}]]</tvar> privately.
</div>
* Even if you are an administrator, notify other administrators.
* Use email, [[<tvar name=irc>Special:MyLanguage/IRC</tvar>|IRC]], [[<tvar name=discord>Special:MyLanguage/Discord</tvar>|Discord]] or other ''low-visibility'' methods. '''Avoid noticeboards or talk pages when reporting.'''
* If in doubt, join {{Libera|miraheze}}.
. If you don't have an IRC client, click the green <sup>connect</sup> button to launch web-based IRC.
* '''Also''' [[<tvar name=os>Special:MyLanguage/Oversight</tvar>|request oversight]], as such posts often contain [[<tvar name=pii>Special:MyLanguage/Oversight#Usage</tvar>|personal information]] requiring suppression.

== Advice for administrators ==
*Threats of ''suicide or self-harm'' require discretion on the questions of blocking or removal of posts.
*Threats of ''violence against others'' should be met with blocking (generally including removal of talk page access) and possibly blocking email as well. Such threats should be removed; consider also [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Revision deletion|deleting the problematic revision]] from public view.
*If in doubt, email the team at <tvar name=tsmail><code>{{@|ts|miraheze.org}}</code></tvar>.
*Notify someone else if you found the threat. You do not have to handle it alone.
