You never need the approval of a curator to participate in the editing, they're there to help coordinate and make things pretty.

== How to curate ==
So you have an interest and might become a curator for an area. Now what are you supposed to do?
* Curators do not need to be an expert on the subject matter (although it certainly helps to at least be familiar with the topic)
* You do not need to do all the work yourself - for larger topics across multiple pages help coordinate other people
** Note: Coordinate in-game and in the forum. The "Discussion" pages in the wiki are very rarely checked and most forget they even exist
* Review changes made to the relevant pages and help prettify them by proof reading, adjusting grammar, adding formatting, linkifying text that have other pages in the wiki. Feel free to verify the actual information, or ask somebody to double-check if there is any doubt.
** You can add wiki pages to your [[Special:Watchlist | Watchlist]]. This will email you when they change. You don't have to check every time the page changes, but it can help to know when they do
* Encourage others to contribute to the wiki. You are not a gatekeeper controlling access, you are a facilitator. Consider using locator agents to hunt down potential wiki editors you think hold particular potential :D
