Redirects is a possibility. I much prefer UID fields and providing links to a Tiddler in some TiddlyWiki with a "UID" reference. (related thread: A Prototype of UID's for stable permalinks <https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/l2Mwu3pOAXw/m/fuvWrwpDBwAJ>) So if I want to provide folk with a link to a specific tiddler in some TiddlyWiki, in a way that allows me to change the tiddler title willy-nilly without breaking the link, I would give folk this: https://tiddlywiki-programming.neocities.org/CJ_TiddlyWikiProgramming.html#:[uid[2]] <https://tiddlywiki-programming.neocities.org/CJ_TiddlyWikiProgramming.html#:[uid[2]]> For some reason, I prefer this than setting up redirects. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
