The '''Administrators' noticeboard''' is intended to be a page to quickly alert the [[SmashWiki:Administrators|administrators]] to issues that need their attention.
 
To make a request or statement, create a new section and provide a neutral, precise summary of events with thought-out reasoning, and, if possible, links to any pages with relevant discussions. It is also a good idea to notify any users involved with the request with a link to the section on this page. Make sure to add new sections to the bottom.
 
Report vandals at the '''top''' of the following section labeled for such reports at the using <nowiki>{{IP|Username}}</nowiki>, where Username is the name of the user or the IP vandal's IP address.
 
For reporting similar and unacceptable usernames, report them [[SmashWiki talk:Username policy#Reporting similar and unacceptable usernames|here]] instead of on this page. This is done to keep the reports in one place, and because unacceptable usernames can be more subjective (unlike vandal/spam accounts), which may necessitate discussion (which the linked page will be more suited to handle).
