**%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 [[WebPreferences]] in each %WIKITOOLNAME% web) and **_user preferences_** (your personal topic, i.e. [[TWikiGuest]] in the %WIKITOOLNAME%.Main 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](http://www.dementia.org/twiki//view/Main/WebHome) | [TWiki](http://www.dementia.org/twiki//view/TWiki/WebHome) | [Know](http://www.dementia.org/twiki//view/Know/WebHome) | [Test](http://www.dementia.org/twiki//view/Test/WebHome) \}

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

- Horizontal size of text edit box: (can be overwritten by user preferences)

  - Set HTTP\_EQUIV\_ON\_VIEW =

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

- http-equiv meta tags for **_preview_** script:
  - Set HTTP\_EQUIV\_ON\_PREVIEW =

**_Notes:_**

- A preference is defined as: <br />`6 spaces * Set NAME = value`<br /> Example:
  - Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
- Preferences are used as [[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 variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the %WIKITOOLNAME% engine (Perl scripts).
