As of TWiki Release 01 Sep 2004, a web name can be a WikiWord. Prior to that it could be only UPPER or UPPERlower. A side effect of this is that if you do use a wiki name, %WEB% must be written as <nop>%WEB% or else it will try to link to a non-existing topic of that name

A TWikiSite is divided into webs; each one represents one subject, one area of collaboration. Administrators can add/rename/delete webs.

Choose Web Template

There are two methods used to create a new web. First you can use a specially designed TemplateWeb. This is an invisible web that begins with an underscore "_" character. All topics in the _default template web will be copied into your new web.

The second method is to use an existing web as a template web. This may be useful if you already have a web that you like to use as a starting point. Only topics that have names beginning with Web... (like "WebHome", "WebNotify", etc.) are copied.

In either case you will want to be sure to verify that your new web has all the custom modifications that you desire.

Adding a New Web

Create a new web by filling out this form. Note: It is not recommended to create a new web for each little project. You can organize content within a web using TWikiForms and FormattedSearch. Cross-linking topics and search is easier if there are only a few larger webs.

Name of new web:		Enter a short name of up to 10 characters. The name must start with one or more upper case letters, followed by optional lower case letters or numbers; it cannot be a WikiWord

Changed:

Based on web:		Select a template web (starting with an underscore) or an existing web as a template for the new web. All topics are copied over from a template web; only topics that start with Web... (like "WebHome", "WebNotify") are copied from other webs

Modifying Webs

To work with entire TWiki webs, you need direct access to the installation files on the host server. Connecting by Telnet or FTP is the usual approach. Before making changes to a web, you can move individual topics through your browser (see ModifyTopics^?). No similar web controls are available through the browser interface.

+The current implementation of TWiki is designed to never forget.  So you can't delete a topic, however you can move or rename a topic and the original information is saved in topic meta data.  If you want an even stronger memory, you can disable renaming on some or all topics; see TWikiAccessControl.

  How to Rename or Delete a Web
-<
<
+ It is advisable not to rename the TWiki.Main web.

 Be aware that other webs might link to the web you want to rename / delete. Search each web for links to this web, i.e. search all webs for Obsolete. (include the period, this is to find topics like Obsolete.SomeTopic ). Take measures if necessary.

 Edit the TWikiPreferences topic and rename / delete the web from the WIKIWEBLIST variable.

 Edit the TWikiWebsTable topic and rename / delete the web from the table.

 Telnet to the TWiki installation.

 cd to twiki/data and rename / delete the web directory.

 cd to twiki/templates and rename / delete the web directory if present.

 cd to twiki/pub and rename / delete the web directory if present.
->
>
+ NOTE: Think twice if you intend to rename the TWiki.Main web, since many files point to it. If you do rename it, you'll also have to change all occurrences of Main to the new web name - this includes, for example, the user signatures across your entire TWiki site. (On the other hand, if the variable %MAINWEB% is used throughout, you have no problem.)



 Prepare your site: Other webs may link to the web you want to rename or delete. Search each web for links to the target web: search all webs for Abouttochange. - include the period to find topics like Abouttochange.SomeTopic. Make changes as required.

 Edit the TWikiPreferences topic: Rename or delete the web from the WIKIWEBLIST variable.

 Edit the TWikiWebsTable topic: Rename or delete the web from the table.

 Connect to the TWiki server: Login via Telnet or FTP.

 Edit the data files: Go to twiki/data and rename or delete the web directory.

 Edit the template files: Go to twiki/templates and rename or delete the web directory if present.

 Edit the public files: Go to twiki/pub and rename or delete the web directory if present.

   TWiki Administration
-<
<
+The current implementation of TWiki is designed to never forget, that means all topic changes are under revision control and you can't delete or rename topics. 

Nevertheless there are cases where you wish to delete topics. TWiki requires administrative stuff like that to be done on the shell level, so please ask your TWiki administrator to do that for you. A future version will allow administrators to do that on the browser level.

  How to Rename or Delete a Topic 


 Go to the topic you want to rename / delete.

 Find out the back-links to this page from Ref-By . Modify other topics if needed.

 Telnet to the TWiki installation.

 cd to twiki/data and then to the web where the topic is located. Rename / delete the topic ( name.txt ) and repository file ( name.txt,v ). Hint: Instead of deleting a topic you could create a Trash web and move topics/repositories to this web. (A future version of TWiki might have a Trash web.)

 Edit the .changes file and rename / delete all occurrences of the topic. Note: There might be several lines of the topic.

 cd to twiki/pub and then to the web where the topic is located. Rename / delete the topic attachment directory if present.
