 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.

 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'm seeing some curious behaviour with `$srcdir/templates/` templates not being found when
+pushing from a remote computer. Touching the relevant file on the server and
+`ikiwiki --setup wiki.setup --refresh -v` sorts it out. I have done `--refresh
+--wrappers` just to be sure the hooks aren't out of date. Anyone knows what
+might be causing this? I'm running a custom branch of ikiwiki master from a
+couple of weeks ago so could be my own doing but my changes are mainly to the
+album and img plugins. --[[kjs]]
