<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''{{tl|Help me}}''' template is used by editors who would like help with something on Bharatpedia. It is placed on a talk page, usually the editor's own user talk page, and it notifies helpers that a question is waiting for an answer.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
Place the template on your user talk page and write your question with it:<br />
<br />
<pre>{{Help me}}</pre><br />
<br />
You can also give your question as a parameter, and it will be shown under the message box:<br />
<br />
<pre>{{Help me|How do I add a reference to an article?}}</pre><br />
<br />
While you wait, you can also ask at the [[Bharatpedia:Help desk|Help desk]] or the [[Bharatpedia:Teahouse|Teahouse]], or look through the [[Help:Contents|help pages]] and the [[Bharatpedia:FAQ|FAQ]].<br />
<br />
This template is only for talk pages. On any other kind of page it shows a "wrong place" warning instead, asking for the template to be moved to a talk page.<br />
<br />
== Parameters ==<br />
; '''1''' or '''helptext'''<br />
: Your question. It is displayed below the message box after "Your question:".<br />
; '''clear'''<br />
: Set to <code>yes</code> to stop the page being added to the help category automatically.<br />
; '''category'''<br />
: Replaces the default category with a different one.<br />
; '''demospace'''<br />
: Used in documentation and demonstrations to force either the talk page version or the other pages version of the box. Ordinary users do not need it.<br />
<br />
== Categorisation ==<br />
* On talk pages, the page is added to [[:Category:Bharatpedians looking for help]], which helpers watch.<br />
* On other pages, the page is added to the "Bharatpedians with misplaced help messages" category instead.<br />
* Both are suppressed with <code>clear=yes</code>, or replaced by the category given in the '''category''' parameter.<br />
<br />
== When help has been given ==<br />
Once a helper has answered, the request should be closed so that the editor is not left waiting in the category. Helpers can replace the template with {{tl|Help me-helped}}, or nullify it using {{tl|Tlp}} or {{tl|Tnull}}.<br />
