**%WIKITOOLNAME% Site-Level Preferences**

The following settings are **_site-level preferences_** , e.g. affecting all users in all %WIKITOOLNAME% webs. These preferences can be overwritten by **_web preferences_** (topic %WEBPREFSTOPIC% in each %WIKITOOLNAME% web) and **_user preferences_** (your personal topic, i.e. [[Main/TWikiGuest]] in the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%MAINWEB% web)

**_Preferences:_**

* List of %WIKITOOLNAME% webs: (the first line of a topic; to add a web see [[TWikiDocumentation]] and [[TWikiWebsTable]])
  * Set WIKIWEBLIST = [%WIKITOOLNAME%](%WIKIHOMEURL%) . \{ [Main](%SCRIPTURLPATH%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%MAINWEB%/%HOMETOPIC%) | [TWiki](%SCRIPTURLPATH%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%TWIKIWEB%/%HOMETOPIC%) | [Know](%SCRIPTURLPATH%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/Know/%HOMETOPIC%) | [Test](%SCRIPTURLPATH%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/Test/%HOMETOPIC%) \}

* List of topics of a web: (the second line of a topic, is overwritten by web preferences)
  * Set WEBTOPICLIST = %WEB% . \{ [Home](%HOMETOPIC%) | [Changes](WebChanges) | [Index](%SCRIPTURLPATH%/search%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%WEB%/?scope=topic&regex=on&search=.*) | [Search](WebSearch) | Go <input name="topic" size="16" type="text" />
 \}

* Vertical size of text edit box: (can be overwritten by user preferences)
  * Set EDITBOXHEIGHT = 15

* Default state of the **_link_** check box in the attach file page. Check box is initially checked if _Set ATTACHLINKBOX = CHECKED_ , unchecked if empty ( _Set ATTACHLINKBOX =_ ). If checked, a link is created to the attached file at the end of the topic: (can be overwritten by user preferences)

* http-equiv meta tags for **_view_**, **_rdiff_**, **_attach_**, **_search\*_** scripts:
  * Set HTTP\_EQUIV\_ON\_VIEW =

* http-equiv meta tags for **_edit_** script. Example to expire immediately: <br /><code>Set HTTP\_EQUIV\_ON\_EDIT = &lt;meta http-equiv="Expires" content="%GMTIME\{"$day $month, $year - $hour:$min:$sec"\}% GMT"&gt;</code>
  * Set HTTP\_EQUIV\_ON\_EDIT =

  * Set FINALPREFERENCES = WIKIWEBMASTER, PREVIEWBGIMAGE

**_Plugin Preferences:_**

* Installed [[TWikiPlugins]]: To enable/disable plugins, move them between ACTIVEPLUGINS and INACTIVEPLUGINS. Specify a comma separated list of plugin topics; the name of the web **_must_** be specified (i.e. <code>**TWiki.DefaultPlugin, TWiki.AnOtherPlugin**</code>)
  * Set ACTIVEPLUGINS = [[TWiki/DefaultPlugin]]
  * Set INACTIVEPLUGINS = [[TWiki/EmptyPlugin]]

* Preferences of [[DefaultPlugin]]:
  * Allow depreciated <code>%INCLUDE:"topic"%</code> syntax: (`0` or `1`)
    * Set DEFAULTPLUGIN\_OLDINCLUDE = 1

**_Notes:_**

* A preference is defined as: <br />`6 spaces * Set NAME = value`<br /> Example:
  * Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
* Preferences are used as %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  * When you write variable <code>%WEBBGCOLOR%</code> , it gets expanded to `%WEBBGCOLOR%` .
* The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set <code>WEBCOPYRIGHT</code> before <code>WIKIWEBMASTER</code> since <code>%WEBCOPYRIGHT%</code> uses the <code>%WIKIWEBMASTER%</code> variable.
* You can introduce new variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the %WIKITOOLNAME% engine (Perl scripts).
