moin

The moin command is installed when you used setup.py. If invoking from the shell prompt does not find the moin command, you can also customize and use wiki/server/moin. Look into that script, there are some pathes to configure.

E.g. if you only have one wiki or one wiki farm on your machine and you configure sys.path in the moin command script, you do not need to give --config-dir=... option with every invocation.

You can also setup logging there if you don't like the builtin logging configuration.

General options:
    Most commands need some general parameters before command subcommand:
    --config-dir=/config/directory
        Mandatory for most commands and specifies the directory that contains
        your wikiconfig.py (or farmconfig.py).

    --wiki-url=wiki.example.org/
        Mandatory for most commands and specifies the url of the wiki you like
        to operate on.

Specific options:
    Most commands need additional parameters after command subcommand.

    Sorry, but there is not much docs about that stuff yet, you can check
    docs/CHANGES and the MoinMoin wiki site for more infos (or just try to
    invoke some command/subcommand to see if it emits more help).
    The code you invoke is contained in MoinMoin/script/command/subcommand.py,
    so just reading the comments / source there might help you, too.

example for a default instance

moin --config-dir=/usr/share/moin/mywiki  --wiki-url=http://webserver/mywiki migration data

  --usersunique       Makes user names unique (by appending the ID to name and
                      email, disabling subscribed pages and disabling all, but
                      the latest saved user account); default is to SHOW what
                      will be happening, you need to give the --save option to
                      really do it.
  --emailsunique      Makes user emails unique; default is to show, use --save
                      to save it.
  --wikinames         Convert user account names to wikinames (camel-case).
  --lastsaved         Normally the account most recently USED will survive and

  --save              If specified as LAST option, will allow the other
                      options to save user accounts back to disk. If not
