+## Developer API
+
+### What can I do with plugins?
+
+The plugin system let you:
+
+  * insert content into specific places across templates.
+  * alter data before templates rendering.
+  * alter data before saving new links.
+
+### How can I create a plugin for Shaarli?
+
+First, chose a plugin name, such as `demo_plugin`.
+
+Under `plugin` folder, create a folder named with your plugin name. Then create a <plugin_name>.php file in that folder.
+
+You should have the following tree view:
+
+```
+| index.php
+| plugins/
+|---| demo_plugin/
+|   |---| demo_plugin.php
+```
+
+### Plugin initialization
+
+At the beginning of Shaarli execution, all enabled plugins are loaded. At this point, the plugin system looks for an `init()` function to execute and run it if it exists. This function must be named this way, and takes the `ConfigManager` as parameter.
+
+    <plugin_name>_init($conf)
+
+This function can be used to create initial data, load default settings, etc. But also to set *plugin errors*. If the initialization function returns an array of strings, they will be understand as errors, and displayed in the header to logged in users.
+
+### Understanding hooks
+
+A plugin is a set of functions. Each function will be triggered by the plugin system at certain point in Shaarli execution.
+
+These functions need to be named with this pattern:
+
+```
+hook_<plugin_name>_<hook_name>($data, $conf)
+```
+
+Parameters:
+
+  - data: see [$data section](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/wiki/Plugin-System#plugins-data)
+  - conf: the `ConfigManager` instance.
+
+For exemple, if my plugin want to add data to the header, this function is needed:
+
+    hook_demo_plugin_render_header
+
+If this function is declared, and the plugin enabled, it will be called every time Shaarli is rendering the header.
+
+### Plugin's data
+
+#### Parameters
+
+Every hook function has a `$data` parameter. Its content differs for each hooks.
+
+**This parameter needs to be returned every time**, otherwise data is lost.
+
+    return $data;
+
+#### Filling templates placeholder
+
+Template placeholders are displayed in template in specific places.
+
+RainTPL displays every element contained in the placeholder's array. These element can be added by plugins.
+
+For example, let's add a value in the placeholder `top_placeholder` which is displayed at the top of my page:
+
+```php
+$data['top_placeholder'][] = 'My content';
+# OR
+array_push($data['top_placeholder'], 'My', 'content');
+
+return $data;
+```
+
+#### Data manipulation
+
+When a page is displayed, every variable send to the template engine is passed to plugins before that in `$data`.
+
+The data contained by this array can be altered before template rendering.
+
+For exemple, in linklist, it is possible to alter every title:
+
+```php
+// mind the reference if you want $data to be altered
+foreach ($data['links'] as &$value) {
+    // String reverse every title.
+    $value['title'] = strrev($value['title']);
+}
+
+return $data;
+```
+
+### Metadata
+
+Every plugin needs a `<plugin_name>.meta` file, which is in fact an `.ini` file (`KEY="VALUE"`), to be listed in plugin administration.
+
+Each file contain two keys:
+
+  * `description`: plugin description
+  * `parameters`: user parameter names, separated by a `;`.
+  * `parameter.<PARAMETER_NAME>`: add a text description the specified parameter.
+
+> Note: In PHP, `parse_ini_file()` seems to want strings to be between by quotes `"` in the ini file.
+
+### It's not working!
+
+Use `demo_plugin` as a functional example. It covers most of the plugin system features.
+
+If it's still not working, please [open an issue](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues/new).

+## Guide for template designer
+
+### Plugin administration
+
+Your theme must include a plugin administration page: `pluginsadmin.html`.
+
+> Note: repo's template link needs to be added when the PR is merged.
+
+Use the default one as an example.
+
+Aside from classic RainTPL loops, plugins order is handle by JavaScript. You can just include `plugin_admin.js`, only if:
+
+  * you're using a table.
+  * you call orderUp() and orderUp() onclick on arrows.
+  * you add data-line and data-order to your rows.
+
+Otherwise, you can use your own JS as long as this field is send by the form:
+
+<input type="hidden" name="order_{$key}" value="{$counter}">
+
+### Placeholder system
+
+In order to make plugins work with every custom themes, you need to add variable placeholder in your templates. 
+
+It's a RainTPL loop like this:
+
+    {loop="$plugin_variable"}
+        {$value}
+    {/loop}
+
+You should enable `demo_plugin` for testing purpose, since it uses every placeholder available.
+
+### List of placeholders
+
+**page.header.html**
+
+At the end of the menu:
+
+    {loop="$plugins_header.buttons_toolbar"}
+        {$value}
+    {/loop}
+
+At the end of file, before clearing floating blocks:
+
+    {if="!empty($plugin_errors) && isLoggedIn()"}
+        <ul class="errors">
+            {loop="plugin_errors"}
+                <li>{$value}</li>
+            {/loop}
+        </ul>
+    {/if}
+
+**includes.html**
+

+{/loop}
+```
+
+**page.footer.html**
+
+At the end of your footer notes:
