 &gt;&gt;&gt; Do you think this approach has enough potential that I should

+&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Ah, now I understand what you&#39;re getting at. Yes, it makes sense to put transient pages under `.ikiwiki`.
+&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; I haven&#39;t looked at the code, but I&#39;d be interested in seeing whether it&#39;s generic enough to be used by other plugins (such as `album`) without too much fuss.
+&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; The idea of a transient underlay gives us a desirable feature for free: that if someone edits the transient page, it is made permanent and added to the repository.
+&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
+&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; I think the tricky thing with removing these transient underlay pages is the question of how to prevent whatever auto-generated the pages in the first place from generating them again - or, conversely, how to force whatever auto-generated those pages to regenerate them if you&#39;ve changed your mind.
+&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; I think you&#39;d need something similar to `will_render` so that transient pages would be automatically removed if whatever auto-generated them is no longer around.
