PmWiki doesn't change file ownerships or permissions of existing files -- if only because it cannot. There have definitely been many times where I wish it could...but most operating systems don't allow normal users to change UID/GID of existing files (only superuser/root can do that). One thing to note, however, is that things will often appear as though PmWiki changes file ownerships of pages in the wiki.d/ directory, but this isn't really what happens. Whenever PmWiki saves a page, it does so by first creating a new file for the page and then replacing the existing file with the new one. The new file is owned by the PmWiki process (usually the webserver account), so it "looks like" PmWiki has changed file ownership when it fact it simply removed the old file and replaced it with a new one.
