Template:Helpme/doc: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:17, 17 October 2009

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Helpme (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This is the {{helpme}} message box.

If you need help, you can place this template on your own user talk page, and write your question below it. Then our helpers will be notified.

Here is what you would put on your talk page:

== How does X work? ==
{{helpme}}
Your question.
--~~~~

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

Technical details[edit source]

When used, this template categorizes the talk page into Category:Contributors looking for help.

-The team that monitor this category are the [[:Category:Wiki Support Team members|Wiki Support Team]]. If the help being requested is about how to edit or use the wiki for research they will, in the majority of cases be able to help. If the help required relates to content they may use the {{tl|unresolved}} template to alert [[moderators]] and/or [[WikiProject]] teams about the issue.
-That being said, any user can help any other user.
