Question: How can I re-build my WikiUsers topic?

Answer

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.

%STARTSECTION{"WIKIUSERS"}%
%FORMAT{"A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z" 
    type="string" 
    format="   * $item - &lt;a name='$item'&gt;- - - -&lt;/a&gt; $percentINCLUDE{
        \"%TOPIC%\"
        section=\"USERS\"
        letter=\"$item\"
    }$percent" 
}% 
%ENDSECTION{"WIKIUSERS"}%

%STARTSECTION{"USERS"}%%SEARCH{
    "name=~'^%letter%.*' AND (form.name~'*UserForm')"
    type="query"
    web="%USERSWEB%"
    nonoise="on"
    header="$n"
    format="   * $percentUSERINFO{
        \"$topic\"
        format=\"$dollarwikiname - $dollarusername\"
    }$percent - $createdate"
}%%ENDSECTION{"USERS"}%

Below is a list of users with accounts. If you want to edit topics or see protected areas of the site then you can get added to the list by registering: fill out the form in System.UserRegistration.

<blockquote class="foswikiHelp">
<img src="/pub/System/DocumentGraphics/warning.png" alt="ALERT!" title="ALERT!" width="16" height="16" border="0" /> There are four default system users:
   * *ProjectContributor* - placeholder for a Foswiki developer, and is used in documentation
   * *WikiGuest* - guest user, used as a fallback if the user can't be identified
   * *RegistrationAgent* - special user used during the new user registration process
   * *UnknownUser* - used where the author of a previously stored piece of data can't be determined
