+
+This plugin lets you use the IkiWiki CGI script as an Apache 404 handler,
+to give the behaviour of various other wiki engines where visiting a
+nonexistent page provides you with a link to create it.
+
+To achieve this, put something like this in the wiki's Apache configuration
+file:
+
+    ErrorDocument 404 /ikiwiki.cgi
+
+(The path here needs to be whatever the path is to the ikiwiki.cgi from
+the root of your web server.)
+
+Or put something like this in the wiki's Lighttpd (>=1.4.17) configuration file:
+
+    server.error-handler-404 = "/ikiwiki.cgi"
+
+
