This has always confused people. I take wikify to translate the text it is
given according to the rules of wiki text and store the result in the named
variable.
To be truthful this does not always seem to be true.
Anything in wiki text and looks like wiki text is always converted at the last
moment then to html to be displayed. Wikify says do that now in the wikify
widget don't wait until render time.
So if you wikify a reference to say a field {{!!fieldname}} then the wikify
variable should contain the value in field name not the curly braces reference.
However it does not always seem to work how I would like it to. Without
retesting if for example I vwikified [[name|tiddlername]] I would hope the
named variable would contain "name" but it will from memory still contain
[[name|tiddlername]] which is again wikified into a link. So if you try to use
it in a filter etc it will not work.
I have asked for a textify that would wikify and return the text. But I always
get advice I can't wrap my head around. It makes sense at the time but I can't
grasp a way to conceptualize it or use it correctly.
What do you expect it to do given everything is ultimately wikified at render,
including 'unwikified' blocks that respond to the special quotes that Mark it
to be code not wiki text.
Note. My spell checker wants to nullify wikify

Equaly perplexed for a total different and possibly opposite reason.
