This plugin allows wiki admins to configure the wiki using a web interface, rather than editing the setup file directly. A "Wiki Setup" button is added to the admins' preferences page.

Most settings can be modified using the web interface. Some settings are not considered safe enough to be manipulated over the web; these are still shown, by default, but cannot be modified. To hide them, set websetup_show_unsafe to false in the setup file. A few settings have too complex a data type to be configured via the web.

The web interface can also be used to enable and disable plugins, with limitations. The plugin for the [[revision_control_system|rcs]] being used cannot be enabled/disabled, and no other rcs plugins can be enabled. A few problematic/unsafe plugins are also blacklisted from being enabled. Other plugins that should not be enabled/disabled via the web interface can be listed in websetup_force_plugins in the setup file.
