-I was wondering what the best way to customise the templates is.
+This confuses me enormously. Perhaps because I am new to ikiwiki, to perl, to Linux, etc.
 
-Would it be best to copy them all into the wiki under version control or have them seperate?
+note and popups are templates? But they're not in the templates directory, and in my readings here, templates are supposed to be in the ../templates directory.

+Is there a list of the TMPL_VAR-Variables that are defined by ikiwiki?
+
+What I'm trying to achieve is to print the URL of every page on the page itself and therefore I would need the corresponding value in the Template.
+
+Am I missing something?  --[[jwalzer]]

+Is there a list of all the available variables somewhere, or do I just grep the source for TMPL_VAR?  And is there a way to refer to a variable inside of a wiki page or does it have to be done from a template?  Thanks. -- [[AdamShand]]

+I pulled a list of variables and posted it, its in the history for [[templates]] under my name. [[justint]]
+
+I am trying to override `page.tmpl` by providing `templates/page.tmpl` in my `srcdir`- this works, but now `templates/page.tmpl` is created in my `destdir` as well! Is this expected? Is there a way to avoid this? --chenz
