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). | |||
