As of TWiki Release 01 Sep 2004, a web name can be a WikiWord. Prior to that it could be only UPPER or UPPERlower. A side effect of this is that if you do use a wiki name, %WEB% must be written as <nop>%WEB% or else it will try to link to a non-existing topic of that name
Renaming or Deleting a Web
Renaming or deleting a web requires direct access to the installation files on the host server. There are currently no browser-based equivalents of the Rename/move/delete topic tools for working with webs.

NOTE: If you plan to rename the TWiki.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.
Login to the TWiki server, via Telnet or FTP.
Go to twiki/data and rename or remove the web directory.
Go to twiki/templates and rename or remove the web directory if present.
Go to twiki/pub and rename or remove the web directory if present.

A TWikiSite is divided into webs; each one represents one subject, one area of collaboration. Administrators can add/rename/delete webs.

Choose Web Template
There are two methods used to create a new web. First you can use a specially designed TemplateWeb. This is an invisible web that begins with an underscore "_" character. All topics in the _default template web will be copied into your new web.
The second method is to use an existing web as a template web. This may be useful if you already have a web that you like to use as a starting point. Only topics that have names beginning with Web... (like "WebHome", "WebNotify", etc.) are copied.
In either case you will want to be sure to verify that your new web has all the custom modifications that you desire.
Adding a New Web

Based on web:
Select a template web (starting with an underscore) or an existing web as a template for the new web. All topics are copied over from a template web; only topics that start with Web... (like "WebHome", "WebNotify") are copied from other webs
Enter a short description of the web. Write Web.TopicName instead of just TopicName if you include links. This will list the web in the SiteMap (leave field empty if you prefer not to update the directory.)
Use to...
Continue the sentence describing the intended use. This is also for the SiteMap

Create a new web by filling out this form. Note: It is not recommended to create a new web for each little project. You can organize content within a web using TWikiForms and FormattedSearch. Cross-linking topics and search is easier if there are only a few larger webs.
Name of new web:
Enter a short name of up to 10 characters. The name must start with one or more upper case letters, followed by optional lower case letters or numbers; it cannot be a WikiWord
Based on web:
Select a template web (starting with an underscore) or an existing web as a template for the new web. All topics are copied over from a template web; only topics that start with Web... (like "WebHome", "WebNotify") are copied from other webs
