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.)
