Usage

Use this template if someone places a {{Help me}} request on their talk page or an article talk page without asking a question.

  • The template includes a parameter for signing. Simply add |sig=any letter inside the template code. Example: {{subst:Help me-nq|sig=a}}.

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