-I was wondering what the best way to customise the templates is.
+This confuses me enormously. Perhaps because I am new to ikiwiki, to perl, to Linux, etc.
-Would it be best to copy them all into the wiki under version control or have them seperate?
+note and popups are templates? But they're not in the templates directory, and in my readings here, templates are supposed to be in the ../templates directory.

-> Either way would work ok. From a security standpoint, keeping the templates under version control isn't entirely safe, if you have anonymous untrusted svn committers. Web commits won't be able to touch them though, so that's ok. --[[Joey]]
+Is there a list of the TMPL_VAR-Variables that are defined by ikiwiki?
+What I'm trying to achieve is to print the URL of every page on the page itself and therefore I would need the corresponding value in the Template.
-Couldn't the [[templates/plugin]] template replace the "included" parameter
-with the same check used for "third-party plugin"? Don't "third-party plugin"
-and "included in ikiwiki" form precisely complementary sets? --[[JoshTriplett]]
+Am I missing something? --[[jwalzer]]
-> Yes, can be done..
