We manually scrutinise every registration in order to ensure that we only let in approved users, so it sometimes '''takes up to 48 hours''' to get to your registration.  If it's been less than 48 hours please be patient for a while longer, if it's been longer than this and you still haven't received a password then please do email us at wikimaster@wikivet.net to prod us into action!

===How do I edit content?===

===How do I edit content?===

Once you're registered with WikiVet, it's relatively simple to edit a page if you spot a mistake.  Some pages are locked for editing by general users, as they may contain important bits of code or important navigation links.  For any other page, you can see and edit code for the entire page by clicking on 'edit' at the top of the page.  If you just want to edit a small section, then you can click on the the 'edit' link on the right side of the page, next to the section you're wanting to edit.

It's worth looking at our helpful [http://commons.wikivet.net/images/b/b8/Editing_a_WikiVet_Page.pdf editing guide] or our [[Help:WikiMarkup Formatting|formatting cheatsheet]] if you're planning on doing anything complicated.  We do have some [[Help:General Guidelines|guidelines]] for general editing also that you should try to adhere to.

Please take a look at our [[:Help:Reviewing content|reviewing help page]]. We do want more experts to take responsibility for certain sections of the site; rest assured you'd be fully supported and wouldn't have to know much about wiki code!  All pages you review will be clearly marked with a banner to give you credit, and also reassure users that the material is up to date.
