Template:Helpme

I am an editor looking for help!
Write {{helpme}} on your user talk page to use this banner. Then ask your question below that, and end with ~~~~ to sign your message.
You can also browse the Help pages or ask a question on the admin noticeboard.

Helpers: once no more help is needed, please add |helped=yes to this template call.

Editors may place this on their own talk page, but do not put it in article content.

Fellow editors will be happy to help with wiki tips and article development when available. Do remember that help with rules questions, strategy, collecting and similar questions must be obtained outside the wiki, unless it is relevant to wiki content. The wiki Discord server and many online forums may be good places to try!

This template automatically categorizes pages into Category:Editors looking for help.

Example and parameters

When the editor has been helped, |helped=yes causes the banner to appear as:

I was looking for help.
"How do infoboxes work?"
Write {{helpme}} on your user talk page to use this banner. Then ask your question below that, and end with ~~~~ to sign your message.
You can also browse the Help pages or ask a question on the admin noticeboard.

This notice hopes help has been given. If not, remove |helped=yes from the template call.

This version no longer applies the "asking for help" category. Full call for this example: {{helpme|How do infoboxes work?|helped=yes}}

Other parameters, both optional:

• 1 (unnamed) — A question or statement about the request; alias |helptext=
• |b-color= — Background color such as #f4f4ff; overrides default colors whether helped or not
