-`ikiwiki-transition` aids in converting wiki pages when
-there's a major change in ikiwiki syntax. It also handles other transitions
-not involving wiki pages.
+`ikiwiki-transition` aids in converting wiki pages when there's a major
+change in ikiwiki syntax. It also handles other transitions not involving
+wiki pages.
-# prefix_directives
+# prefix_directives file ...
The `prefix_directives` mode converts the specified ikiwiki page from
the old preprocessor directive syntax, requiring a space, to the new
older versions of ikiwiki accepted, the prefix_directives transition will
treat these as preprocessor directives and convert them.
-# setupformat
+# setupformat your.setup
The `setupformat` mode converts a setup file from using a single `wrappers` block
to using `cgi_wrapper`, `git_wrapper`, etc.
Note that all comments and any unusual stuff like perl code in the setup
file will be lost, as it is entirely rewritten by the transition.
-# aggregateinternal
+# aggregateinternal your.setup
The `aggregateinternal` mode moves pages aggregated by the aggregate plugin
so that the `aggregateinternal` option can be enabled.
-# indexdb
+# moveprefs your.setup
+
+Moves values that used to be admin preferences into the setup file.
+
+Note that all comments and any unusual stuff like perl code in the setup
+file will be lost, as it is entirely rewritten by the move.
+
+# indexdb srcdir
The `indexdb` mode handles converting a plain text `.ikiwiki/index` file to
-a binary `.ikiwiki/indexdb`. In this mode, you should specify the srcdir of
-the wiki as the second parameter. You do not normally need to run
+a binary `.ikiwiki/indexdb`. You do not normally need to run
`ikiwiki-transition indexdb`; ikiwiki will automatically run it as
necessary.
-# hashpassword
+# hashpassword srcdir
The `hashpassword` mode forces any plaintext passwords stored in the
`.ikiwiki/userdb` file to be replaced with password hashes. (The
-Authen::Passphrase perl module is needed to do this.) In this mode, you
-should specify the srcdir of the wiki as the second parameter.
+Authen::Passphrase perl module is needed to do this.)
If this is not done explicitly, a user's plaintext password will be
automatically converted to a hash when a user logs in for the first time
