==Using the Discussion tab to comment on content==
Logged-in contributors have the ability to leave comments for other contributors or editors on any page of a Clicklaw Wikibook. This can be a very useful way to flag possible changes that you think might be worth considering, but you are not wanting to make without input from others. Note that discussion pages are '''no longer invisible''' to public users. Only logged-in contributors and those with accounts on Clicklaw Wikibooks can leave comments, but MediaWiki is not designed to have purely private areas. Be aware that the public may encounter comments or questions in exactly the same way anyone can view the discussions among editors on Wikipedia.
{{ambox
| text = Editors of ''[[JP Boyd on Family Law]]'' are no longer using '''[https://basecamp.com/2047183/projects/3735036-jp-boyd-on-family Basecamp]''' as of October 2013, but are instead subscribed to a listserv which should be used to interact with other editors and discuss updates that are not publicly viewable. [mailto:wikisupport@wiki.clicklaw.bc.ca Contact us] for support or more info.

To leave a comment on a Discussion page:
#[[Logging In to Your New Account|Login to your account]] on Clicklaw Wikibooks.
#[[How to Navigate around Clicklaw Wikibooks|Navigate to the page]] that you want to leave a comment on.
#Click on the "Discussion" tab, and then click "Edit".
#Add your comment, leaving your signature at the end. If you are replying to a comment, indent your comment one level further than the comment that you are replying to. So for example:
::The link to the Consumer Protection BC's complaint roadmap needs to be updated. - Drew
:::I have updated the link as of March 2013. - Beatriz
(To indent, use colons for each level you want to indent - for example, two colons (::) to indent two levels.)

===Leaving a signature===
It's easiest to click the signature button in the editing toolbar. Also typing four tilde marks in a row will automatically place a signature for you, indicating your username and the time. Please use a signature to let others know who made a contribution to a talk page, and when.
