Not necessarily; a plugin might contain a tiddler using the same naming convention (e.g. $:/core/modules/foobar) that doesn’t actually override a shadow tiddler. You can check using the “Info” panel; look in the “Advanced” tab. > When the developer is developing that plugin, is he editing on the core > tiddler itself, and then packaging it into the plugin, or is there a way of > overriding a core tiddler for development, and then bundling that > override-tiddler into the plugin? > > I'm assuming he is using Node.js and GitHub for development > <https://tiddlywiki.com/dev/static/Developing%2520plugins%2520using%2520Node.js%2520and%2520GitHub.html>. > Maybe it is best to use the experimental 'create plugins in the browser' if > the plugin will override core tiddlers? Any of the available techniques for building a plugin can include tiddlers that override core tiddlers. There are some core tiddlers that are OK to overwrite (eg settings like $:/theme). The problems come when overwriting the core logic of TiddlyWiki (whether JS modules or wikitext templates). The risk is that a future update to the underlying core will not be propagated to the modified copy. If a plugin author finds that they need to overwrite a core plugin then I'd advise raising it so that we can explore whether it’s possible to add hooks to make it possible to avoid the overwrite.
