Use this template if someone places a {{Help me}} request on their talk page or an article talk page, and their question is one that can only be answered by an admin.

  • This template should always be substituted by prefixing "subst:" inside the template code. Thus use {{subst:Help me-na}} rather than {{Help me-na}}.
  • The template includes a parameter for signing. Simply add |sig=any letter inside the template code. Example: {{subst:Help me-na|sig=a}}.

This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.
