Google:Wiki%0ETools
You have surely noticed that, since the spelling was originally intended
for wikis, you cannot use blank spaces. However, you can
use %0E instead; similarly, to search for the inventor of the Wiki
concept, type
Google:Ward%0ECunningham
A list of all compatible abbreviations can be found on the page
TWiki.InterWikis. You may be wondering if you can also define
your own interwiki abbreviations on this page, and you would be
right. Simply expand the respective table. It has three columns: the
abbreviation, the URL to be invoked, and any corresponding tooltip
text. You can insert the variable part of the URL using $page. A
link to Wikipedia.org will serve as an example:
| WP | http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ | ↵
$page on Wikipedia |
As you can see, $page can also be left out if the variable part of the
URL is at the end.
Tip: The tooltip function is switched off by default. It can be activated
by setting the variable LINKTOOLTIPINFO = on in
TWikiPreferences.

User Administration
Because administrators are responsible for access control (see Chapter
14), they are also confronted with the administration of users. A
few actions, such as registering and changing data, can be performed
by the users themselves. Others, such as administering groups, are
taken care of by a community of users on its own. This leaves three
questions that must be answered by an administrator: How can forgotten
passwords be reset, users temporarily blocked and, last but
not least, users deleted? Let us look at the answers to these questions.
Resetting passwords works in two steps. On the page
TWiki.ResetPassword, enter the user name and new password. The
user himself can do this as well. As a result, you will receive a character
string containing the user name and coded password. The best
thing to do is copy this character string or otherwise note it. Then,
