Unless your organization chooses to use a single organization-wide account for making edits, each contributor will receive a username and bio page. Users set their own password once their receive their invitation to log in to Clicklaw Wikibooks. By default Clicklaw Wikibooks uses the editor's first and last name, capitalized accordingly and separated by a space, e.g. "Nate Russell", to form the username. Honorifics, e.g. "Judge" or "QC", are not included in the username, although honorifics can be mentioned elsewhere. If you are an editor but have not yet received an email invitation with your account, contact [http://mailto:wikisupport@clicklaw.bc.ca wikisupport@clicklaw.bc.ca]. Editors set their own passwords and can change their email address using the "Preferences" tab.
Unless your organization uses a single organization-wide account for making edits, each contributor will receive a username and bio page. Users set their own password when they open their invitation to set up an account. By default usernames are the editor's first and last name separated by a space, e.g. "Nate Russell". Usernames for organizations' accounts may be the full name of the organization, e.g. "Peoples' Law Schoool", an acronym, e.g. "LSLAP" (for Law Students Legal Advice Program), or program name, e.g. "Dial-A-Law" for the Canadian Bar Association BC Branch's Dial-A-Law program.  
 
Honorifics, e.g. "Judge" or "QC", are not included in the username, although honorifics can be mentioned elsewhere.

====Contributor bio pages====
====Contributor bio pages====
Editors and contributors with usernames receive a bio page. See [[:Category:Contributor Bio |bio page examples]]. The bio page will link to your content and include your name and a brief professional biography at a minimum. It may also include a link your firm's website, a profile picture, and contact information (phone, email, social media). Bio pages are intended to credit and introduce contributors, but Courthouse Libraries BC must avoid the impression that it promotes the services of certain lawyers over others. Avoid overtly promotional language such as self-laudatory claims and adjectives.
