Do you need administrator assistance?

Have you run across a problem that requires the attention of an administrator?

The fastest way to catch the attention of administrators in general is to post an alert to the Administrators' noticeboard. Administrators go there all the time to see what's up with Wikipedia. The next admin to come along will see your message and will take immediate appropriate action.

User Sub Pages

Many users like to create sub pages to store various bits of information such as welcome templates or other information. To create a sub page simply visit your user page and then append the name of the subpage in your browser's URL bar. For example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CoolDude would become http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CoolDude/MySubpageName. If you no longer need a sub page, or wish to have it deleted, you can mark the page with {{db-owner}} or {{db|reason}}.
