+
+* --historyurl URL

+
+ Specifies the URL to link to for a diff of changes to a page. In the URL,

+
+ Enables or disables "Discussion" links from being added to the header of
+ every page. The links are enabled by default.
+
+* --numbacklinks n
+
+ Controls how many backlinks should be displayed at the bottom of a page.
+ Excess backlinks will be hidden in a popup. Default is 10. Set to 0 to
+ disable this feature.
+
+* --userdir subdir

+ CGI portion of ikiwiki over SSL.
+
+* --getctime
+
+ Pull last changed time for each new page out of the revision control
+ system. This rarely used option provides a way to get the real creation
+ times of items in weblogs, such as when building a wiki from a new
+ Subversion checkout. It is unoptimised and quite slow. It is best used
+ with --rebuild, to force ikiwiki to get the ctime for all pages.
