This assumes a few things about the user pages, but on our wiki, it's pretty standard to keep the basic field: value pairs intact. The one major gotcha is that old users created before the Feb '03 release needed to be updated to have TWikiUsers as the parent (easily done at the command line).

Is this something that would be of interest to go in the TWiki core? I can see this being useful, especially if it were expanded to be configurable in an admin-friendly way, and run as a cron-job like the stats script to keep a cached copy generated every n hours.

This looks like useful for sites where TWiki manages user authentication. Many (most?) behind firewall installations use the corporate login, where the TWikiUsers page is necessary to map from the intranet login (e.g. pthoeny) to the WikiName (e.g. PeterThoeny). So your page would be an additional way to show all users. A more condensed table format is probably more suitable for sites with hundreds of users.

mmmm - why is the WikiName to RemoteName mapping not done on the UserTopic (and with MetaData)? then we could do queries on the info...

• Performance. The whole mapping is cached in hashes, needed for access control -- PeterThoeny - 12 Oct 2004
• Wouldn't it also cause security problems if you could modify yours or others mappings? Isn't that why TWikiUsers is only editable by TWikiAdminGroup? -- SamHasler - 12 Oct 2004

The RegisterCgiScriptRewrite moves form data into a form if there is one defined on the NewUserTemplate.
