-This patch adds a space before the forward-slash in the the parent links. There is already a space after the slash.
+This [[patch]] adds a space before the forward-slash in the the parent links. There is already a space after the slash.
+
+> I intentionally put the space after the slash and not before, because I
+> like how it looks that way. So I don't plan to apply this patch unless a

+>> Couldn't we export what's put between the links to a variable? For instance, I might actually want to set it to ' : ' or '→'. --[[madduck]]
+
+>>> Yes, please.  This seems to be something a lot of people want to customize.  (I certainly do -- a forward slash only looks natural to Unix users)  --[[sabr]]
+
+>> Joey, would I be right to summarize your position on this as "people who

+>> closed in a way acceptable to you, except perhaps as WONTFIX. --[[smcv]]

+It's almost implicit in some of the discussion above but this can be achieved locally if you fork your templates directory from ikiwiki's, with an ammendment such as
+
+    <h1><TMPL_LOOP NAME="PARENTLINKS"><a
+        href="<TMPL_VAR NAME=URL>"><TMPL_VAR NAME=PAGE></a>
+        &rarr;
+        </TMPL_LOOP><TMPL_VAR TITLE></h1>
+
+This is what I do on my site for example. -- [[Jon]]
+
+> You don't actually need to fork the whole directory, "only" `page.tmpl` -
+> put `templatedir => "/foo/templates"` in your setup file, copy `page.tmpl`
+> to that directory, and modify it there. IkiWiki will look in `templatedir`
+> first, then fall back to its default templates if any are missing from
+> `templatedir`.
+>
+> (Admittedly, `page.tmpl` is the hardest to maintain a fork of, because it
+> tends to change whenever a new plugin is added...) --[[smcv]]
