Site-level preferences are located in TWiki.TWikiPreferences, however this Main.TWikiPreferences prefs topic has overrride priority and should be used for local customisations. This allows for easier upgrades as you don't need to worry about the shipped preferences clobbering yours. It's easier to keep a handle on if you only copy over the settings you actually change.

Skyloom.Wiki Site-Level Preferences

The following are site-level settings that affect all users in all webs on this TWikiSite?. They can be selectively overwritten on the individual web level (see WebPreferences in each web), topic level (the topic being rendered), and on the user level (create preferences in your user account topic in the Main web, ex: TWikiGuest).

  • ALERT! NOTE: You can lock individual settings at the site or web levels using User & Group Access Control - see section below.
