| | + | |pagebody = WikiVet is a collaboratively edited veterinary encyclopedia to which you can contribute. These series of articles aim to help you join in this ongoing project. The following pages will discuss features of WikiVet, giving style and content guidance, and laying down some basic rules and guidelines to follow whilst using the WikiVet. Please remember that this is only a basic tutorial and if you are struggling please look at the external Wikipedia help pages or email on of our admins. A key feature of WikiVet is the [[sandpit]]. This is essentially a practice area for editing and experimenting. No one will mind if you mess this page up whilst learning the ropes of WikiVet. |

| − | === Multiple uses of the same footnote ===
| + | [[Sandpit]] |
| | | | |
| − | To give a footnote a unique identifier, use '''<ref name="name">'''. You can then refer to the same footnote again by using a ref tag with the same name. The text inside the second tag doesn't matter, because the text already exists in the first reference. You can either copy the whole footnote, or you can use a terminated empty ref tag that looks like this: '''<ref name="name" />'''.
