I’ve tried the instructions on the tiddlywiki.com website for “Making a custom Journal button”. I’ve managed to create a Journal-type tiddler with the same format of title, no custom text, and a different tag. This template is called NewAnomaly.
Now in my Table of Contents and List-Links macros, the $:/config/NewAnomaly/Tags tiddler itself is listed. (This also sometimes happens with Journal tiddlers in the basic TOC macro.) What change do I need to make to these macros so that that shadow tiddler doesn’t show up in the list? I have Googled for hours and can’t make sense of it. I’m using Quine 2 for iOS on an ipad. I don’t know whether the container makes a difference in this problem, so I’m starting with this forum in the hopes that someone can rescue me.
