 ===== 6. Wiki Account Management =====
+Demian found that you can get a list of all users who have created or edited pages in Dokuwiki by running this command in the data directory:
+<code bash>
+find meta -name \*.changes -execdir cat {} \; > /tmp/edits.tsv
+</code>
+...and then using Excel to extract and deduplicate the appropriate column of the resulting file.
+He then saved the list to a file called known.txt, and ran this script to filter the user file:
+<code php>
+<?php
+$known = array_filter(array_map('trim', file(__DIR__ . '/known.txt')));
+$users = fopen('/path/to/dokuwiki/conf/users.auth.php', 'r');
+$good = fopen(__DIR__ . '/good.php', 'w');
+$bad = fopen(__DIR__ . '/bad.php', 'w');
+while ($line = fgets($users)) {
+    $username = current(explode(':', $line));
+    $out = in_array($username, $known) ? $good : $bad;
+    fputs($out, $line);
+}
+fclose($users);
+fclose($good);
+fclose($bad);
+</code>
+However, even after filtering bad users, spam account creation continued. Demian eventually disabled manual account sign-up, and replaced the creation page with a message about requesting access.
