+### Trail plugin creates unexpected interdependencies?
+*(ikiwiki master branch 2014-06-06 also tested with 3.20140228 release)*
+
+I noticed the problem when using the [[/plugins/contrib/album]] plugin but a bit of testing revealed that the [[trail]] plugin, which is used by [[/plugins/contrib/album]] may be the cause of the problem.
+
+On a site with the following structure where all albumN.mdwn files have the `\[[!inline pages="page(./album01/*)" trail="yes"]]` directive set. All albumN pages and imgN pages get rebuilt whenever any one of the albumN or imgN pages are changed and the command `ikiwiki --setup wiki.setup --refresh --verbose`
+ is issued.
+
+ /index.mdwn Contains no links maps or inlines
+ |-album01.mdwn \[[!inline pages="page(./album01/*)" trail="yes"]]
+ |-album01/
+ | |-imgA.mdwn
+ | |-imgB.mdwn
+ |
+ |-album02.mdwn \[[!inline pages="page(./album02/*)" trail="yes"]]
+ |-album02/
+ | |-imgC.mdwn
+ | |-imgD.mdwn
+ |
+ |-album03.mdwn \[[!inline pages="page(./album03/*)" trail="yes"]]
+ |-album03/
+ | |-imgE.mdwn
+ | |-imgF.mdwn
+
+Changing the index.mdwn page also triggers a full rebuild of all pages with [[trail]] directives. My sites tend to look like the above but with double digit numbers of files in at each level. Changing any file then means a full rebuild of a rather complex site which takes a long time.
+
+My setup and test may very well have mistakes but perhaps someone using the trail plugin could check (using the --verbose flag) if all their trails get rebuild when changing only one. I also find it curious that changes to the parent index.mdwn page triggers the same behaviour.
+
+I have removed a similar comment from the album discussion.
