PMario,

I'm perplexed a bit, since I'm well aware you're a wizard relative to my 
bumbling-tinkering ways. But it seems that when you say "this missing 
tiddler hint is hardcoded in the core", you imply it's tricky and dangerous 
to tinker with... Isn't the Missing Tiddler hint easily overridden by 
erasing or replacing the contents of the following shadow tiddler?

$:/language/MissingTiddler/Hint

Its contents can be replaced by anything -- including a new-journal-here 
button, right? 

So, in a number of my teaching-related tiddlywiki instances, I've zapped 
the Missing Tiddler hint (as well as "empty filter" message on Shiraz 
dynamic tables, which is a bit more deeply hard-coded into the plugin). I 
do this because I have set up ViewTemplate nodes for missing tiddlers 
(```<$list 
filter="[all[current]is[missing]]"> ... </$list>```) , and don't want 
visitors to be distracted by the missing tiddler message.  

(My own use case for removing the hint: have participant name-codes listed 
in hidden "list" field of various tiddlers, assign each participant a 
virtual permalink with their #name-code initials at end, so that the custom 
ViewTemplate shows each one a custom overview of tiddlers where they're 
listed -- but with no easily-browsed or easily-searched way to surf among 
other participants' name-codes. Not perfect privacy, but not *obviously* 
public either.)

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what Sher is looking for, or I'm missing some 
other point here. But I'm curious where the misunderstanding lies!
