Given the name (
_default
), TWiki administrators can expect to use this web as the template for new webs. It's listed as the first (default) choice in the
Adding a New Web
form. Therefore, those administrators can be expected to create or change content in
_default
.
This web should not be overwritten during an upgrade.
Suggested solution: don't ship with
_default
. Ship with
_default_example
. When TWiki is run for the first time, if
_default
doesn't exist, copy
_default_example
.
That is, handle
_default
the way
LocalSite.cfg
is handled. If tit exists, it's considered to have been customized.

I disagree. The
_default
web serves as the template for new webs. New releases sometimes introduce new topics and change existing topics.
I think that is a documentation case. If you want to have a custom web template create a new template web (such as
_acme
for Acme Inc) and customize that.
