This is the {{help me}} message box.

If you need help, you can place this template on your own user talk page, and write your question below it. Then our helpers will be notified.

Here is what you would put on your talk page:

== How does X work? ==
{{help me}}
Your question.
~~~~

The four tildes "~~~~" will automatically add your signature, which is your username and a timestamp.

Technical details

When used, this template categorizes the talk page into Category:Wikipedians looking for help.

The IRC channel #wikipedia-en-help is notified when this template is used. You can join that channel (chat room) if you want to help out or if you want to get real-time assistance. (Click here for instant access.)
