# ikiwiki-update-wikilist(1)

add or remove user from /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist

## NAME

ikiwiki-update-wikilist - add or remove user from /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist

## SYNOPSIS

ikiwiki-update-wikilist \[-r\]

## DESCRIPTION

ikiwiki-update-wikilist is designed to be safely run as root by arbitrary users, either by being made suid and using the (now deprecated suidperl), or by being configured in /etc/sudoers to allow arbitrary users to run.

All it does is allows users to add or remove their names from the /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist file.

By default, the user's name will be added. The -r switch causes the user's name to be removed.

If your name is in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist, the [ikiwiki-mass-rebuild(8)](/ikiwiki-mass-rebuild/8.md) command will look for a ~/.ikiwiki/wikilist file, and rebuild the wikis listed in that file.

## OPTIONS

None.
