+Wouldn't it be possible to just implement an integer-valued setting for this, accessible via the "Setup" wiki page? This would require a wiki regen, but such a setting would not be changed frequently I suppose. Also, Mediawiki has this implemented as a per-user setting (two settings, actually, -- number of rows and columns of the edit area); such a per-user setting would be the best possible implementation, but I'm not sure if ikiwiki already supports per-user settings. Please consider implementing this as the current 20 rows is a great PITA for any non-trivial page.
