The '''contact''' page is primarily to contact the admins of the site about any problem that needs Administrative attention.
==Contact Admins==
Although editors are welcome to directly contact particular Administrators, posting on this page instead may be an easier way to let the entire Administrative group know of the issue (which may be particularly helpful since it increases the odds that at least one Administrator will see, and thus be able to respond to, the issue promptly).
There are only a limited number of things for which this page should be used. Many problems can be solved without Administrative intervention, and, thus, this page should be restricted to those issues that actually require an Administrator. Those are: blocking vandals, (un)deleting pages, (un)protecting pages, and mediation (only if the situation demands it).
Even in cases of vandalism, posting on this page needn't be the first step (and indeed should not be the first step). If you see vandalism, just go ahead and revert it, anyone has the power to do so. If it's a new article with no safe version to revert back to, [[Help:Delete|tag it for deletion]]. In both cases you should leave a message in the talk page of that user to make him/her aware of why that kind of edit is unacceptable on this wiki. Only post here if that user persists in his/her actions, ignoring the warnings or if the content requires immediate Administrative attention (e.g. if the material on the page is so offensive as to require immediate deletion).
(Be careful in case that user repeatedly insists on vandalizing, avoid a revert war; it's far better to temporarily leave the vandalized version of the page up until an admin has a chance to intervene.)
To create a new request: add an item to the bottom of the list below, providing a brief, neutral summary of the issue. As a sign of courtesy, also leave a message on the talk page of any other involved users so they are aware of this discussion.
==Wiki Issues==
General problems, such as user conduct, vandalism, and bans. Also, suggestions can be posted here. All can be resolved by an Administrator. See resolved Wiki Issues [[{{WikiTitle}}:Contact/Resolved/Wiki|here]].
==Coding Issues==
Coding refers to any issue or bug that needs to be dealt with by a server Administrator. See resolved issues [[DiabloWiki:Contact/Resolved/Code|here]].
==Wiki Code Issues==
If there is a problem USING current wiki code, and you feel unsure on what to do, please don't post it in the Contact section. Leave a message on the related [[Help:Talk|talk page]], or contact an individual Admin or Editor for help.
