Wikipedia:Help desk/Header
The Wikipedia help desk is a place where you can ask questions about how to use or edit Wikipedia. For other types of questions, use the search box or the reference desk.
- For other types of questions, see Help:Contents and Are you in the right place? If you have comments about a specific article, use that article's talk page.
- Do not provide your email address or any other contact information. Answers will be provided on this page only.
- We are all volunteers, so sometimes replies can take some time. Please be patient. Check back on this page to see if your question has been answered.
- If you need real-time help, you can join our IRC help channel, #wikipedia-en-help.
- If you are a new editor, you might prefer to ask your question at the Teahouse, an area specifically for new users to get help with editing, article creation and general Wikipedia use, in a friendly environment.
- Remember to sign your post by adding four tildes (
~~~~) at the end of your post. Alternatively, you can click on the signature icon (
) on the edit toolbar.
