TT, In a wide range of applications the plural and singular help guide the meaning. An example may be a book(s) database. So if I tag something as a book then there will be a view/tiddler called books that lists them. Perhaps a plugin to handle this would make sense, so it can be adopted when appropriate. As we know a tag need not have a tiddler by the same name, but what if that tiddler if opened listed all items so tagged (unless defeated), or a virtual plural tiddler existed eg books when book exists listing all items tagged book?
Perhaps we could just flag tags that represent instances of items so tagged eg contact if named/flagged automatically creates a contacts list. One which will be listed if you open/create the contacts tiddler. Personally I would be inclined to move this into a field such as object-type which on giving it values of "contact or book" a suite of tools become active for handling contacts and books. - Tiddlers that list tiddlers so tagged (selectable sorts) - Filter that refers to all items so tagged - A view that shows all other fields associated to tiddlers so tagged The point being when I use tiddlywiki to undertake a wide range of functions there immediately arises the need to add predictable support from templates, to lists, filters and statistics which I think we could automate, making the solutions design process somewhat automatic.
