+# NAME
+
+ikiwiki-comment - posts a comment
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+ikiwiki-comment page.mdwn
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+`ikiwiki-comment` creates a comment for the specified wiki page file,
+and opens your editor to edit it.
+
+Once you're done, it's up to you to add the comment to whatever version
+control system is being used by the wiki, and do any necessary pushing to
+publish it.
+
+Note that since ikiwiki-comment is not passed the configuration of
+the wiki it's acting on, it doesn't know what types of markup are
+available. Instead, it always removes one level of extensions from the
+file, so when run on a page.mdwn file, it puts the comment in page/
+
+The username field is set to the unix account name you're using.
+You may want to edit it to match the username you use elsewhere
+on the wiki.
