The basewiki is a standard set of wiki pages that are included by default in all wikis that ikiwiki builds, unless the wiki overrides them with its own versions. It currently includes these pages: * [[index]] * [[sandbox]] * [[shortcuts]] * [[templates]] * [[ikiwiki/formatting]] * [[ikiwiki/markdown]] * [[ikiwiki/openid]] * [[ikiwiki/pagespec]] * [[ikiwiki/directive]] * [[ikiwiki/subpage]] * [[ikiwiki/wikilink]] As well as a few other files, like [[favicon.ico]], [[local.css]], [[style.css]], and some icons. Note that an important property of the basewiki is that it should be self-contained. That means that the pages listed above cannot link to pages outside the basewiki. Ikiwiki's test suite checks that the basewiki is self-contained, and from time to time links have to be removed (or replaced with `iki` [[shortcuts]]) to keep this invariant.
