Charlie/Tone and Lin Carlie, I think you have touched on a key differentiator between one wiki and the other, when you do a search do you want the other content to come up?
- In other words you can store in one wiki all that you would like to find under than wiki name. As I said early you can search multiple wikis through an index system of Mohammads, You could even have an iframe open to the other wiki where you can refresh the index and drop it on the index wiki without leaving the tab. Or a tiddler open in the iframe with all the dragable tools listed. My practice I say I make a custom tag tool, after I make it work, I always package it in a JSON so it can be installed in other wikis, this includes a reference to the wiki in which it originates in, if I decide I want to change it. Every time I change it I save it under a folder on my LAN (with a set filename), every time I want to install something I open the LAN folder and type in a keyword and a list of JSON files appear, click and import. I used to have a TW5 Reference, it included references and resources, this year I duplicated it and deleted the resources in one and the references in the other, Now I have two wikis. I index both an places the index in another *index wiki* where I can search both at once if I loose something, however I do not usually because I know what I consider a TW5 reference, and what I consider a TW5 resource, I even have another with all collected TW5 plugins. Now I have so many wikis and Projects I have built a method of collecting finished projects in another projects wiki, and I can drag a special project tiddler to my Index Wiki, and a special wiki tiddler to my index wiki. So it I loose something I can find it but I rarely loose anything. Say I have a set of data, I try and make sure I can select and save the data independently from the wiki (and my tools). So it can be exported and imported elsewhere if desired. This can be as simple of all the tiddler having a particular unique tag.
