## Types of hooks
### canedit
- hook(type => "canedit", id => "foo", call => \&pagelocked);
+ hook(type => "canedit", id => "foo", call => \&canedit);
This hook can be used to implement arbitrary access methods to control when
a page can be edited using the web interface (commits from revision control
since it's sometimes used to test to see which pages in a set of pages a
user can edit.
+### cansave
+
+ hook(type => "cansave", id => "foo", call => \&cansave);
+
+This hook can be used to implement arbitrary access methods to control
+when a page being edited can be saved using the web interface (commits
+from revision control bypass it).
+
+When a page is about to be saved, each registered cansave hook is
+called in turn, and passed the page name, the edited content, a CGI
+object and a session object.
+
+The return value of a cansave hook is interpreted the same as for the
+canedit hook.
+
+### canremove
+
+ hook(type => "canremove", id => "foo", call => \&canremove);
+
+This hook can be used to implement arbitrary access methods to control when
+a page can be removed using the web interface (commits from revision control
+bypass it). It works exactly like the `canedit` hook.
+
+### canrename
+
+ hook(type => "canrename", id => "foo", call => \&canrename);
+
+This hook can be used to implement arbitrary access methods to control when
+a page can be renamed using the web interface (commits from revision control
+bypass it). It works exactly like the `canedit` and `canremove` hook,
+but is passed:
+* a CGI object
+* a session object
+* the named parameters `src`, `srcfile`, `dest` and `destfile`.
+
+### checkcontent
+
+ hook(type => "checkcontent", id => "foo", call => \&checkcontent);
+
+This hook is called to check the content a user has entered on a page,
+before it is saved, and decide if it should be allowed.
+
+It is passed named parameters: `content`, `page`, `cgi`, and `session`. If
+the content the user has entered is a comment, it may also be passed some
+additional parameters: `author`, `url`, and `subject`. The `subject`
+parameter may also be filled with the user's comment about the change.
+
+Note: When the user edits an existing wiki page, the passed `content` will
+include only the lines that they added to the page, or modified.
+
+The hook should return `undef` on success. If the content is disallowed, it
+should return a message stating what the problem is, or a function
+that can be run to perform whatever action is necessary to allow the user
+to post the content.
+
### editcontent
hook(type => "editcontent", id => "foo", call => \&editcontent);
the state is saved. The function can save other state, modify values before
they're saved, etc.
-### renamepage
+### renamelink
- hook(type => "renamepage", id => "foo", call => \&renamepage);
+ hook(type => "renamelink", id => "foo", call => \&renamelink);
This hook is called by the [[plugins/rename]] plugin when it renames
-something. The hook is passed named parameters: `page`, `oldpage`,
-`newpage`, and `content`, and should try to modify the content to reflect
-the name change. For example, by converting links to point to the new page.
+something, once per page linking to the renamed page's old location.
+The hook is passed named parameters: `page`, `oldpage`, `newpage`, and
+`content`, and should try to modify the content of `page` to reflect
+the name change. For example, by converting links to point to the
+new page.
+
+### rename
+
+ hook(type => "rename", id => "foo", call => \&renamepages);
+
+When a page or set of pages is renamed, the referenced function is
+called, and is passed:
+
+* a reference to an array of hashes with keys: `src`, `srcfile`,
+ `dest`, `destfile`, `required`. Such a hook function can modify
+ the array.
+* a CGI object
+* a session object
### getsetup
