-There's documentation if you want to [[write]] your own plugins, or you can install and use plugins contributed by others. 
+Most of ikiwiki's [[features]] are implemented as plugins. Beyond the
+[[type/core]] features, there are plugins to [[type/format]] text,
+use [[type/tags]], show [[type/meta]] information, add [[type/auth]]
+methods, do other [[type/useful]] stuff, add [[type/chrome]] to the
+wiki, or just have [[type/fun]].
 
-The ikiwiki package includes some standard plugins that are installed and
-by default. These include [[inline]], [[pagecount]], [[brokenlinks]],
-[[search]], [[smiley]], and even [[haiku]]. 
-Of these, [[inline]] is enabled by default.
+There's documentation if you want to [[write]] your own plugins, or you can
+install and use plugins [[contributed|contrib]] by others. 
 
-To enable other plugins, use the `--plugin` switch described in [[usage]],
-or the equivalent line in [[ikiwiki.setup]].
+The [[mdwn]], [[inline]], [[htmlscrubber]], and [[passwordauth]] plugins
+are enabled by default. To enable other plugins, use the `--plugin` switch

-## Installing third party plugins

-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`
