 This might be a bug, but will discuss it here first.

+# Refreshing RecentChanges page
+
+What do you think about refreshing RecentChanges page (via Meta Refresh Tag)?
+It can be useful for users like me which rather prefer watching the last changes
+in WWW browser tab than subscribing to page. --Pawel

+# Fall back for templatedir
+
+It would be nice if you didn't have to copy all templates to your custom _templatedir_
+so you only have your customizations there.
+And then have it fall back to the location as configured at build time (like /usr/share/ikiwiki/templates/).
+This would be similar to _underlaydir_. I don't think any extra configuration directive is needed.
+As it is now, RecentChanges will have Perl CGI error and Preferences will be an empty page, if you don't have corresponding templates.
+I can quickly make a patch and submit to the patch queue. Any comments?
