Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Header

This is a message board for coordinating and discussing administrative tasks on Wikipedia. Although its target audience is administrators, any user is welcome to leave a message or join the discussion here. Please make your comments concise. Administrators are less likely to pay attention to long diatribes.

Are you sure that this is the page you are looking for?

• Report Three-revert rule violations on the subpage Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR (WP:AN/3RR).
• Report all other types of incidents (e.g. blocked users evading blocks) on the subpage Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents (WP:AN/I). If you want to make an open informal complaint over the behaviour of an admin, you can do so there.
• Report a vandal who continues vandalising after being warned on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.
• Request page protection or unprotection at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection.
• For a list of issues administrators can assist with, and the pages to request such assistance, see Wikipedia:Requests for administrator attention.
• To request assistance from a specific administrator, see [[User talk:Whomever]].
• If you are blocked, please contact the blocking admin via email (navigate to their userpage and click "E-mail this user").
• If you would like assistance with non-administrator issues, see the Village Pump.
• If you see vandalism, try to fix it yourself. This is something any editor can do.

Dispute resolution

Please be aware that these pages are not the place to bring disputes over content, or reports of abusive behaviour — we're not referees, and have limited authority to deal with abusive editors. We have a dispute resolution procedure which we recommend you follow. Please take such disputes to requests for comment, requests for mediation, or requests for arbitration rather than here. Please do not post slurs of any kind on this page, and note that any messages that egregiously violate Wikipedia's civility or personal attacks policies will be removed.

Using this page

If no comment, or no further comment, has been made after a 24-hour period, your post and any responses will be automatically archived. When posting, please sign and date all contributions, using the Wikipedia special form "~~~~", which translates into a signature and a time stamp automagically. (The archival bot, which moves the oldest sections to the archives in order to reduce page length below 256KB every day, really needs the time information, and it doesn't recognize nonstandard, manually-inserted timestamps.) Please note that signatures with heavy coding or exposition may be reformatted to make reading and editing this page simpler.

If there is another page which is a more natural location for the discussion of a particular point, please start the discussion there, and only put a short note of the issue, and a link to the relevant location, on this page.
