I probably explained poorly! It made sense in my head at the time. OK, look at the example for the tm-new-tiddler message:
https://tiddlywiki.com/#WidgetMessage%3A%20tm-new-tiddler To make a button that creates new tiddlers tagged "task", create a tiddler > called "TaskTemplate <https://tiddlywiki.com/#TaskTemplate>" with that > tag, and then make your button like this: > <$button message="tm-new-tiddler" param="TaskTemplate">New Task</$button> Why would you want to do that? If you have a tiddler named TaskTemplate it's always going to show up whenever you filter on tasks ([tag[task]]) unless you explicitly filter it out ([tag[task]![TaskTemplate]]). Seems like a bad way to go. So I always use a button with an actual ActionSendWidget inside it so I can have it set the tag at creation time. I'm wondering if I'm missing some way you could use a template without running across that inconvenience, of the template showing up whenever you were looking for the actual thing it's a template for. Does that make any sense? If not, no worries -- it is kind of a trivial matter.
