+The `pagetemplate` directive is supplied by the [[!iki plugins/pagetemplate]] plugin.
+
+This directive allows a page to be created using a different wikitemplates.
+The page text is inserted into the template, so the template controls the
+overall look and feel of the wiki page. This is in contrast to the
+[[ikiwiki/directive/template]] directive, which allows inserting templates
+_into_ the body of a page.
+
+This directive can only reference templates that are already installed
+by the system administrator, typically into the
+`/usr/share/ikiwiki/templates` directory. Example:
+
+ \[[!pagetemplate template="my_fancy.tmpl"]]
+
+[[!meta robots="noindex, follow"]]
