Question

What is the maxium length for a Web name?

The documentation say 8 characters, but i have seen twiki's out using more characters for a web. I also tried using 10 character, and it seem to work.

Also, can web names be wikinames (and what is the impact)?

Answer

There is no hard limit in the length of a TWiki web. In practice it is better to chose short names since a VeryLongWebNameMakesUrlsEvenLonger. People frequently send TWiki links in an e-mail, and a well known company in the northwestern US makes a popular e-mail client that cuts long URLs apart.

TWiki supports WikiNames for Web names since the last production release, the one you are using.
