---+!! Template Web
---++ Purpose
Template webs were created to act as templates in creating webs. It is now possible to create webs via the %TWIKIWEB%.ManagingWebs topic. In the not so distant past TWiki webs were created by hand. The data directory contains the different webs such as *Main* and *TWiki*. A web that begins with an underscore &quot;_&quot; character is considered invisible and a template. All files in the *_default* (or any other web that begins with an underscore) template web will be copied into your new web. The [[_default.%HOMETOPIC%][_default]] web template contains the following topics: =<nop>%HOMETOPIC%, <nop>WebChanges, <nop>WebIndex, <nop>WebNotify, <nop>WebPreferences, <nop>WebSearch, <nop>WebStatistics and <nop>WebTopicList.=
---++ Customizing
The web template is useful for administrators to design for creating webs of a certain type. Departmental webs can at least begin with a similar look and feel.
Simply create a web with an underscore for the first character. These can be used by authorized users to create webs from this template.
