DokuWiki set timestamp to fix `(external edit)`

dokuwiki_fix_timestamp.sh

#!/bin/bash

# DokuWiki helper script to fix the pages's last modified time stamp
# to match the one recorded in the metadata.
# This fixes pages shown as 'last modified by (external edit)', e.g. after
# restoring the wiki from a backup without preserving the files' timestamp.

Thanks, you saved me hours of trouble dealing with a 500 Error on the start page

Thank you too! It helped me after data migration.
