This topic was used to create System.FAQRebuildingWikiUsersTopic in Foswiki 1.1. Please try to keep them in sync
Under normal circumstances, there should be no need to rebuild your WikiUsers topic.
Sometimes, the
WikiUsers topic maintained by
TopicUserMappingContrib may not reflect the true list of users registered on your Foswiki installation. This most commonly happens when:
- You deleted or renamed users and forgot to edit the WikiUsers topic, or
- You migrated a TWiki installation and accumulated new registrations on the new WikiUsers topic before you had a chance to initialise it with the old list from the old TWikiUsers topic.
Assuming your wiki is configured to use
TopicUserMappingContrib, the script below should refresh your
WikiUsers topic with an accurate list of users. It uses the
USERINFO macro, which protects user information from ordinary users - so this topic needs to be viewed with
admin privileges in order for it to be useful.
