Tony K, Fine run with your solution with a JS macro since this is clearly your strength,However I am confident with a little more detail to your request, for clarity I can make a pure wikit text and widget solutions for you.
On the other hand using the title as a time stamp ie the primary key to a tiddler as an attribute (the time) of the tiddler is in my view not a good design choice. I have a much better one available. Just ask Are you saying some tiddlers are named hhmm and others [UTC]YYYY0MM0DD0hh0mm0ssXXX ? and you want a function to handle them both equally? - We can do that with wikitext and widgets. - Why not make a batch operation to standardise the title in one go? - I would move the time stamp date to a separate field what ever you choose the title to be. - In tiddlywiki the title is both a unique key to its contents and often an aesthetic easy to read title.
