[Charlie Veniot]

Well, mine was about grabbing links that don't have gibberish in them.

[Charlie Veniot]

Thanks Eric, I had everything working, but had no clue how to use it.

Having to navigate to the site is okay, but that's a completely different 
use case than the one in the OP, which is about grabbing links on a page.

[tw5] Re: URL Import Gadget (URL to WikiText external link)

[Eric Shulman]

To create the bookmarklet:
(note: these instructions are for Chrome.  Similar actions are available 
for other browsers, though the menu item and dialog may vary somewhat)

   - First, select and copy the code posted by cskrisz to your clipboard:
   ```
   javascript: 
   
navigator.clipboard.writeText(`[[${document.title.replaceAll('|','–')}|${document.location.href}]]`);
   ```
   - Then, right-click on your browser's bookmark bar and select "Add 
   page..." from the popup menu.
   - In the dialog that appears, in the "Name" input, enter something like 
   "Make a TW prettylink", and in the "URL" input, paste the "javascript:..." 
   code from your clipboard.
   - Press "Save" to add the bookmark to your browser.
   - Note that the new bookmark will appear at the end of your existing 
   bookmarks.  You can use drag-and-drop or "Bookmark manager" to relocate the 
   bookmark within the bookmark bar

To use the bookmarklet:

   - Go to any page on any website you like
   - Press the "Make a TW prettylink" bookmark
   - This will copy the current URL's title and href to your system 
   clipboard, formatted as a TW prettylink (e.g., `[[Title|URL]]`)

To add the prettylink to your TW document:

   - Open your TW document
   - Press "+" to create a new tiddler (or edit an existing tiddler)
   - Place the cursor in the tiddler's text area input
   - Press ctrl-V or right-click and select "Paste" from the popup menu.

done.

 Drag and drop makes me much happier.

[tw5] Re: URL Import Gadget (URL to WikiText external link)

[Charlie Veniot]

I just wasted the last hour trying to get that bookmarklet to work.

If you recommend this as a good way to go, could you give some pointers on 
how to get it working?

Why on earth would you have not provided that crucial observation in your
