+> I'm fuzzy on the log in bit, I don't know how to bring up a log in page in IkiWiki
+
+Cheap hack: make a link to `cgiurl(do => prefs)` and the user will have
+to press Back a couple of times when they've logged in :-)
+
+Less-cheap hack: have a CGI plugin that responds to `do=login` by doing
+basically the same thing as `IkiWiki::needsignin`, but instead of
+returning to the `QUERY_STRING`, return to the HTTP referer, or
+a page whose name is passed in the query string, or some such.
+
+> If I were going to do this I'd want to have a log out button appear
+> when the user is logged in. Is it possible to add a log out function to the same plugin?
+
+I don't see why not; you could create it from Javascript for logged-in
+users only. That'd close the bug [[bugs/logout in ikiwiki]] (see that
+bug for related ideas).
