The `pagetemplate` directive is supplied by the [[!iki plugins/pagetemplate desc=pagetemplate]] plugin.
-This directive allows a page to be created using a different wikitemplates.
+This directive allows a page to be displayed using a different
+[[template|templates]] than the default `page.tmpl` template.

The page text is inserted into the template, so the template controls the
overall look and feel of the wiki page. This is in contrast to the
[[ikiwiki/directive/template]] directive, which allows inserting templates
_into_ the body of a page.
-This directive can only reference templates that are already installed
-by the system administrator, typically into the
-`/usr/share/ikiwiki/templates` directory. Example:
-
\[[!pagetemplate template="my_fancy.tmpl"]]
[[!meta robots="noindex, follow"]]
