Alternatively, you can ask your question at the Teahouse, the help desk, or join Wikipedia's Live Help IRC channel to get real-time assistance. |
Usage
[edit]Use this template if someone places a {{Help me}} request on their talk page or an article talk page, and their question is only for a specific editor.
- This template should always be substituted by prefixing "subst:" inside the template code. Thus use {{subst:
Help me-ns}}rather than{{Help me-ns}}. - The template includes a parameter for signing. Simply add
|sig=any letterinside the template code. Example: {{subst:Help me-ns|sig=a}}.
This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.
