Clicklaw 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 any discussion pages are invisible to most users. Only logged-in contributors and those with accounts on Clicklaw Wikibooks can see comments posted in discussion pages. This was done deliberately so that members of the legal profession could make recommendations or have debates about how to present legal information, and do so freely without concern that the public may encounter comments or questions intended only for other editors, which taken out of context might cause confusion. | Clicklaw contributors have the ability to leave comments for other contributors or editors on any page of a Clicklaw Wikibook.
