Thanks for all your suggestions! By „pollution” I meant that, according to my understanding, it would be a bad idea to create 35000 „useless” tiddlers, which do not have content but only used as references. It would make my wiki slow. TW is optimized for the case that tiddlers store content and not references. Every time TW or a plugin would run its Javascript code, it would have to chew itself through these useless tiddlers, and it would happen at almost every content refresh. Also, because I use git to version control my .tid files on Node, this would put unnecessary burden on my git repository, as well.
That's why I looked for other ways. Not to mention what happens if I read 2 other similarly sized books. That would require over 100 000 tiddlers. It just seems like a really bad idea to me.
