You can optionally list the installed plugins in INSTALLEDPLUGINS. This is useful to define the sequence of plugin execution, or to specify other webs then the %TWIKIWEB% web for the plugin topics.

By default, user preferences will override topic preferences. * Set READTOPICPREFS = on * Topic level overrides user level preferences, on or off: If set to =on=, topic preferences will override user preferences. The user can in turn override this behavior by setting further =FINALPREFERENCES= in his or her user topic. * Set TOPICOVERRIDESUSER = off * Site-level preferences that are *not* allowed to be overridden by %WEBPREFSTOPIC% and user preferences: * Set FINALPREFERENCES = ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT, PREVIEWBGIMAGE, WIKITOOLNAME, WIKIWEBMASTER, SMTPMAILHOST, SMTPSENDERHOST, ALLOWWEBMANAGE, READTOPICPREFS, TOPICOVERRIDESUSER ---++ Creating New Preference Variables You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts). * A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand bullet item: ==[3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value== <br /> Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces): * S<nop>et WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0 * Preferences are used as %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: ==%==. Example: * When you write variable ==%WEB<nop>BGCOLOR%==, it gets expanded to =%WEBBGCOLOR%= . * %X% The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set ==<nop>WEBCOPYRIGHT== before ==<nop>WIKIWEBMASTER== since the copyright notice uses the webmaster email address. ---++ Related Topics * %WEBPREFSTOPIC% has preferences of the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% web. * %MAINWEB%.%WIKIUSERSTOPIC% has a list of user topics. User topics can have optional user preferences. * %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables has a list of common =%<nop>VARIABLES%=. * %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiAccessControl explains how to restrict access by users or groups. __Note__: Can't edit?
