-Most of ikiwiki's [[features]] are implemented as plugins. Beyond the
-[[type/core]] features, there are plugins to [[type/format]] text,
-use [[type/tags]], show [[type/meta]] information, add [[type/auth]]
-methods, do other [[type/useful]] stuff, add [[type/chrome]] to the
-wiki, or just have [[type/fun]].
+Most of ikiwiki's [[features]] are implemented as plugins. Many of these

-Plugins are perl modules and should be installed somewhere in the perl
-module search path. See the @INC list at the end of the output of `perl -V`
-for a list of the directories in that path. All plugins are in the
-IkiWiki::Plugin namespace, so they go in a IkiWiki/Plugin subdirectory
-inside the perl search path. For example, if your perl looks in
-`/usr/local/lib/site_perl` for modules, you can locally install ikiwiki
-plugins to `/usr/local/lib/site_perl/IkiWiki/Plugin`
