## %WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% Web Preferences
The following settings are **_web preferences_** of the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% web. These preferences overwrite the **_site-level preferences_** in %TWIKIWEB%.%WIKIPREFSTOPIC%, and can be overwritten by **_user preferences_** (your personal topic, i.e. %MAINWEB%.TWikiGuest in the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%MAINWEB% web)
**_Preferences:_**
* List of topics of the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% web:
* Set WEBTOPICLIST = [[HOMETOPIC]] %SEP% [[WebChanges]] %SEP% [[WebIndex]] %SEP% [[WebSearch]] %SEP% Go
* Web specific background color: (Pick a lighter one of the %TWIKIWEB%.StandardColors)
* Set WEBBGCOLOR = #CCCCFF
* Exclude web from a `web="all"` search: (Set to `on` for hidden webs)
* Set NOSEARCHALL =
* Default template for new topics and form(s) for this web:
* [[WebTopicEditTemplate]]: Default template for new topics in this web. (Site-level is used if topic does not exist)
* [[TWIKIWEBWebTopicEditTemplate]]: Site-level default template
* %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiForms: How to enable form(s)
* Set WEBFORMS =
* Users or groups who **_are not_** / **_are_** allowed to **_view_** / **_change_** / **_rename_** topics in the %WEB% web: (See %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiAccessControl)
* Set DENYWEBVIEW =
* Set ALLOWWEBVIEW =
* Set DENYWEBCHANGE =
* Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE =
* Set DENYWEBRENAME =
* Set ALLOWWEBRENAME =
* Users or groups allowed to change or rename this %TOPIC% topic: (I.e. %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup)
* Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE =
* Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME =
* Web preferences that are **not** allowed to be overridden by user preferences:
* Set FINALPREFERENCES = WEBTOPICLIST, DENYWEBVIEW, ALLOWWEBVIEW, DENYWEBCHANGE, ALLOWWEBCHANGE, DENYWEBRENAME, ALLOWWEBRENAME
**_Notes:_**
* A preference is defined as: `6 spaces * Set NAME = value` Example:
* Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
* Preferences are used as %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
* When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to `%WEBBGCOLOR%` .
* 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 new preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the %WIKITOOLNAME% engine (Perl scripts).
