[edit] [purge] Template documentation

Usage

Place {{admin request}} on a talk page to request an administrative action for the corresponding page. It should be accompanied by a clear and specific description of the requested action.

To report an error you have noticed on the current main page or tomorrow's main page, please add it to the appropriate section on Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors instead of using this template.

Optional unnamed parameters

  1. Actual page. The actual page you want edited, such as when the talk page of the protected page is redirected. E.g. {{admin request|Template:uw-vandalism1}}
  2. Category sort. E.g. {{admin request|Template:Template Sandbox|Sandbox}}
