- Customize the WEBTOPICLIST variable to contain the web specific links you prefer.
- Optional: Set the WEBCOPYRIGHT variable to have a web-specific copyright text (at the bottom of each topic).
- If needed, create customized templates in the new templates directory. (Non existing templates are inherited from `twiki/templates` )
- - If you want to use a category table, copy the three files `twikicatitems.tmpl` , `twikicatedit.tmpl` and `twikicatview.tmpl` from the `twiki/templates/Know` directory to the new templates directory, and customize it. More on that in [TWiki Category Table](TWikiDocumentation#category).
+ - If you want to use form templates - see [[FormTemplateSystem]]
- In case you want usage statistics for this web: Copy file `WebStatistics.txt` from the `twiki/data/Main` directory to the new data directory. Edit topic WebStatistics in the new web and delete old usage entries.
- Note that user home topics are only located in the %WIKITOOLNAME%.Main web, so don't try to move them or create them in other webs. From any web you can refer to users located in the %WIKITOOLNAME%.Main web like `Main.UserName` or `%MAINWEB%.UserName`.
