+_Notes_:

+- If you are searching for the file where the users are stored, it's in `your_repository/.ikiwiki/userdb`. The one which is in YOUR REPOSITORY, it cannot be found into your `~/.ikiwiki`.
+- If you want to enable a plugin you **WILL HAVE** to add it to the `add_plugins` array in the `*.setup` file (or to use the `--plugin` switch while calling `ikiwiki`). Uncommenting the plugin options/configuration fields in the setup is not **ALWAYS** sufficient. You have been warned.
