Main Features of TWiki

Any web browser: Edit existing pages or create new pages by using any web browser. There is no need to upload pages.
Edit link: To edit a page, simply click on the Edit link at the bottom of the page.
Auto links: Web pages are linked automatically. You do not need to learn HTML commands to link pages.
Text formatting: Simple, powerful and easy-to-learn text formatting rules. Basically you write text like you would write an e-mail.
Webs: Pages are grouped into TWiki webs (or collections). This allows you to set up separate collaboration groups.
Search: Full text search with/without regular expressions. See a sample search result.
E-mail notification: Get automatically notified when something has changed in a TWiki web.
Structured content: Use TWikiForms to classify and categorize unstructured web pages and to create simple workflow systems.
File attachments: Upload and download any file as an attachment to a page by using your browser. This is similar to file attachments in an e-mail, but it happens on web pages.
Revision control: All changes to pages and attachments are tracked. Retrieve previous page revisions; compare differences; find out who changed what and when.
Access control: Define groups and impose fine-grained read and write access restrictions based on groups and users.
Variables: Use variables to dynamically compose your pages. This allows you for example to dynamically build a table of contents, include other pages, or show a search result embedded in a page.
TWiki plugins: Easily install program enhancements using external plug-in modules. Developers can create plug-ins in Perl using the TWiki Plugin API.
Templates and skins: A flexible templating system separates program logic and presentation. Skins overwrite template headers and footers; page content is unaffected.
Managing pages: Individual pages can be renamed, moved and deleted through the browser.
Managing users: Web-based user registration and change of password.
Statistics: Create statistics of TWiki webs. Find out most popular pages and top contributors.
Preferences: Three levels of preferences: TWikiPreferences for site-level, WebPreferences for each web, and user level preferences.
Topic locking: Users are warned if a page is being edited by another person. This is to prevent simultaneous page editing.
Referred-By: Find the pages that contain links to a topic.
