Find old pages in DokuWiki

Goal

You want to see all old pages of a particular wiki user? This tool is for you.

More precise

What means old? You can specify this in the unit "months".

What means "of a particular user"? You need to supply a user name. All pages where the user did more than given percentage of changes. See parameter "--percent".

Why?
