I am looking for help from an administrator!

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 talk page of any article which requires an administrator to perform a task. (If you cannot edit those pages, you may use either the Meta:Administrators' noticeboard or {{admin help}} (this template).) Write your question below the template. Our administrators will be notified.
or theHere 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 community noticeboard.
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.
