>> Correct, which means it's not quite quiet:
% ikiwiki --setup foo --rebuild
generating wrappers..
successfully generated foo
successfully generated foo
rebuilding wiki..
scanning [...]
[...]
building [...]
[...]
done

$ ikiwiki --setup setup
successfully generated [cgi]
successfully generated [post-update]
skipping bad filename [...]
