+[[Templates|wikitemplate]] are filled out for many different things in
+ikiwiki, like generating a page, or part of a blog page, or an rss feed, or
+a cgi. This hook allows modifying the variables available on those
+templates. The function is passed named parameters. The "page" and
+"destpage" parameters are the same as for a preprocess hook. The "template"
+parameter is a [[cpan HTML::Template]] object that is the template that
+will be used to generate the page. The function can manipulate that
+template object.
 
 The most common thing to do is probably to call `$template->param()` to add
 a new custom parameter to the template.

+This hook allows plugins to change the [[template|wikitemplate]] that is
+used for a page in the wiki. The hook is passed a "page" parameter, and
+should return the name of the template file to use, or undef if it doesn't
+want to change the default ("page.tmpl"). Template files are looked for in
+/usr/share/ikiwiki/templates by default.
