-Plugins can be used to add additional features to ikiwiki. It's possible to
-[[write]] your own plugins, or you can install and use plugins contributed by
-others. 
+Most of ikiwiki's [[features]] are implemented as plugins. Many of these 
+plugins are included with ikiwiki.

 
 

-The ikiiki package includes some standard plugins that are installed and
-by default. These include [[inline]], [[pagecount]], and [[brokenlinks]].
-Of these, [[inline]] is enabled by default.
+[[!pagestats pages="plugins/type/* and !plugins/type/slow" among="plugins/*"]]

 
 

-To enable other plugins, use the `--plugin` switch described in [[usage]], or the equivilant line in
-[[ikiwiki.setup]].

-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`
+There's documentation if you want to [[write]] your own plugins, or you can
+[[install]] plugins [[contributed|contrib]] by others.

 
 

+To enable a plugin, use the `--plugin` switch described in
+[[usage]], or the equivalent `add_plugins` line in ikiwiki.setup.
+Enable the [[goodstuff]] plugin to get a nice selection of plugins that
+will fit most uses of ikiwiki.
