Question

Being a TWiki admin has a downside - some maintenance (like moving pages around or re-parenting or changing teh name of a referred-to topic) causes one to become author. This is not necessarily desireable. Is there a pre-made method for "Re Authoring" (analogous to "Re Parenting") a topic? Or will this require adding something to OOPS.CGI?

Answer

Nevermind, I managed a workaround whereby my FORM saved the original author and creation time. I suppose I could have pulled this from RCS somehow but I really wanted to capture a static OWNER and an OWNER may not necessarily be the original creator a year from now! So, I managed tbis through a form.

As an admin you can use the undocumented repRev feature to change the last topic revision without affecting the user. See details at the end of TWiki.cfg.
