You can add them to the default list in Preferences>>Defaults>> Advanced--Custom BibTex Types and Fields (Edit)>> Then select "webpage" in the left column, click "+" below the right column, and type in your desired fields. It helps to have checked the correct spelling of those field names before you start, since you have to type them in rather than selecting them from a menu.
