Template:Admin request

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}}

General considerations

This template should be use for non-controversial administrative requests. Where the same or similar actions are needed on several pages, or the problem needs to be viewed by many administrators, please report the situation to administrator's noticeboard or administrator's noticeboard/Incidents.

Recommended action upon resolution

Once a request is handled, it's best to leave the {{admin request}} tag as an un-transcluded tag by changing it to, for example, {{tlx|admin request}}. This removes the message box from the talk page and removes the talk page from the category, while still leaving a record of the request.
