I don't like the idea of putting the templates in the wiki with the other files. It's probably fine in your particular case, but in general ikiwiki makes sure that any files in the wiki are passed through the htmlscrubber, to guard against XSS attacks. Which won't work for these templates. You could use the pagetemplate plugin, which makes a single page use a different template from the standard templatedir. I guess you don't want to bother with putting a call to pagetemplate on every blog page though. The two approaches that seem best to me are either modifying your plugin to look in the templatedir for the templates while otherwise keeping the subpage-ish lookup, or modifying pagetemplate so a given template can be applied to any pages matching a given PageSpec. Luckily the upcoming ikiwiki 2.16 has the per-plugin data storage that this latter approach needs. -- see shy jo
