I notice all the links you include here are for the static site. That makes me wonder if you're using Google to look up info about TW. The search box on TiddlyWiki.com is very effective. For instance, if you had typed "node install" into the box, you would have gotten only 3 links in the top part of the search, including "Installing TiddlyWiki on node.js".
For sharing those links, you can use the permalink option from the specified tiddler. The problem with updating documents on TW is that the process is so drawn out. You have to install github, fork tiddlywiki.com, clone the fork locally. Then make a branch with the right name structure (which, ironically, is unclear in the documentation), then make your changes, then push your changes, then make a pull request. Then wait while a variety of people who have never been concerned enough to make a PR themselves on the topic try to pick apart everything you've written. It's not exactly Wordpress or Wikipedia convenience. On the last part, where you're text is being flame grilled over a hot fire, my feeling is that documentation is not code and doesn't need the same level of scrutiny. It should be submitted rapid-fire, and if someone doesn't like it, they can submit their own PR to amend it. Two years ago, if I had seen your mention of the missing part of the commands, I probably would have been submitting a PR within a half hour. Now, not so much.
