So far, it is only for use by the template directive. Note that you can set `templatedir` to any directory you like, and ikiwiki will look there first for templates before /usr/share/ikiwiki/templates/ The key difference between the in-wiki templates directory and the external one is that, since the in-wiki one can be edited using the wiki, templates in it have to be html sanitized when they are used. While templates from the templatedir can contain arbitrary html/javascript/css, which can be very useful for styling a wiki. I've checked, and in order to make inline also be able to safely use templates from the in-wiki directory, inline would need to explicitly sanitize templates from there after filling them out. -- see shy jo
