+# setupformat your.setup
+
+The `setupformat` mode converts a setup file from using a single `wrappers` block
+to using `cgi_wrapper`, `git_wrapper`, etc.
+
+Note that all comments and any unusual stuff like perl code in the setup
+file will be lost, as it is entirely rewritten by the transition.
+
+# aggregateinternal your.setup
+
+The `aggregateinternal` mode moves pages aggregated by the aggregate plugin
+so that the `aggregateinternal` option can be enabled.
+
+# moveprefs your.setup
+
+Moves values that used to be admin preferences into the setup file.
+
+Note that all comments and any unusual stuff like perl code in the setup
+file will be lost, as it is entirely rewritten by the move.
+
+# indexdb your.setup|srcdir
+
+The `indexdb` mode handles converting a plain text `.ikiwiki/index` file to
+a binary `.ikiwiki/indexdb`. You do not normally need to run
+`ikiwiki-transition indexdb`; ikiwiki will automatically run it as
+necessary.
+
+# hashpassword your.setup|srcdir
+
+The `hashpassword` mode forces any plaintext passwords stored in the
+`.ikiwiki/userdb` file to be replaced with password hashes. (The
+Authen::Passphrase perl module is needed to do this.)
+
+If this is not done explicitly, a user's plaintext password will be
+automatically converted to a hash when a user logs in for the first time
+after upgrade to ikiwiki 2.48.
+
+# deduplinks your.setup
+
+In the past, bugs in ikiwiki have allowed duplicate link information
+to be stored in its indexdb. This mode removes such duplicate information,
+which may speed up wikis afflicted by it. Note that rebuilding the wiki
+will have the same effect.
