I keep wanting to setup a TiddlyWiki with HowTo's, but I am always frustrated with how TiddlyWiki URL's to tiddlers work.
Being a tweaker by nature, I always start with good enough Tiddly Wiki titles and iteratively/incrementally am always refining them titles, approaching some far away "perfect" title. Setting a fixed title, never ever to be changed, with some descriptive alias (that I can freely refine with no effect on URL's to particular tiddlers) doesn't float my boat much. I still get annoyed and thrown off by the fixed title that at some point no longer feels right. Being a longtime user of, RIP, "ProjectForum <http://www.projectforum.com/pf/pfuserguide.pdf>", I've always liked that each wiki page has an internal unique ID number. Wiki text page links are all titles of the pages, but navigating the wiki via those links (and sending links via email, or copying links into web pages) never include the page name in the URL's. The unique ID number of a page goes into the URL. So it never matters if a page name changes. The name is changed everywhere in the wiki text there is a reference, but the URL's are always static because ID number is used. So setting up a HOWTO in a TiddlyWiki and providing URL's to some tiddler, things get screwed up anytime I want to tweak the title of a tiddler, because previously provided links to the tiddler no longer work. That bugs the daylights out of me. If TiddlyWiki did the URL thing like ProjectForum, then it would be no sweat for this hard-headed fella. Ugh. I guess I needed to have a blathering opportunity today ... On Saturday, October 10, 2020 at 1:49:16 PM UTC-3, Atronoush wrote: > > Hi Charlie, > Many thanks for this.
