+It's almost implicit in some of the discussion above but this can be achieved locally if you fork your templates directory from ikiwiki's, with an ammendment such as
+
+    <h1><TMPL_LOOP NAME="PARENTLINKS"><a
+        href="<TMPL_VAR NAME=URL>"><TMPL_VAR NAME=PAGE></a>
+        &rarr;
+        </TMPL_LOOP><TMPL_VAR TITLE></h1>
