If you rename it, you also have to change all occurrences of `Main` to the new web name (like the web prefixes for all user signatures, Main.SomeName). (On the other hand, if the %MAINWEB% variable is used throughout, you won't have that problem.) +**NOTE:** If you plan to rename the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%MAINWEB% web, remember that TWiki stores user and group topics in %MAINWEB%, default named `Main`. That means, every [[WikiName]] signature - Main.SomeUserName - points to it and would need updating (unless the variable, %MAINWEB%.SomeUserName, is used throughout). -1.
