[[!template id=plugin name=transient author="[[Simon_McVittie|smcv]]" core=yes]]
[[!tag type/special-purpose]]
The `transient` plugin adds an underlay in `.ikiwiki/transient`, which is
intended for pages that are automatically created and should not be committed
to the [[RCS]]. It works in the same way as the [[basewiki]] and the underlays
set up by the [[plugins/underlay]] plugin, so if a page in the transient
underlay is edited via the web, the edited version is committed to the RCS
as usual. Unlike other underlays, if a page in the transient underlay is
superseded by an edited version in the RCS, the old transient version
is deleted automatically.
This plugin is mostly useful as something that other plugins can depend on:
* [[plugins/aggregate]] writes aggregated posts into the transient underlay
* [[plugins/autoindex]] can be configured to auto-create missing
pages that have a [[ikiwiki/subpage]] or an [[plugins/attachment]], but not
commit them, in which case they go in the transient underlay
* [[plugins/comments]] writes comments pending moderation to the transient underlay
* [[plugins/recentchanges]] writes new changes into the transient underlay
* [[plugins/tag]] can be configured to auto-create missing
tag pages but not commit them, in which case they go in the transient
underlay
