< <	Renaming the MAINWEB If you plan to rename the Main web, remember that TWiki stores user and group topics in `%MAINWEB%`, default named `Main`. That means, every WikiName signature - `Main.SomeUserName` - points to it and would need updating (unless the variable, `%MAINWEB%.SomeUserName`, is used throughout).
	Prepare your site: Search each web for links to the target web, searching topic text for `Oldwebname.`, including the dot so you'll find references like `Oldwebname.SomeTopic` Make changes as required, to `Newwebname.SomeTopic` or better yet, to `%MAINWEB%.SomeTopic` Edit the TWikiPreferences topic: Rename or delete the web from the `WIKIWEBLIST` variable
