• • Main.WebTopicEditTemplate: Site-level default topic template (if it exists, it overides the system-level template)

• Note: If you restrict access to this web, make sure to add the TWikiRegistrationAgent so that users can register.

• • Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = TWikiAdminGroup

• Web preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by sub-web, user or topic preferences:

Help on Preferences

• A preference setting is defined by:
  3 or 6 spaces * Set NAME = value
  Example:
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
• A preferences setting can be disabled with a # sign. Remove the # sign to enable a local customization. Example:
  
  • #Set DENYWEBCHANGE = UnknownUser
• Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to #FFEFA6
• The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since %WEBCOPYRIGHT% uses the %WIKIWEBMASTER% variable.
• You can introduce your own preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates.
