# moin-update-wikilist(1)

add or remove user from /etc/moin/wikilist

## NAME

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

## SYNOPSIS

**moin-update-wikilist** *USERNAME*

## DESCRIPTION

moin-update-wikilist is designed to be made suid root, but not installed suid by default. If made suid, it allows users to add or remove their names from the /etc/moin/wikilist file. If a user's name is not in the file, it will be added; if the name is already present, it will be removed.

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

## OPTIONS

None.
