Hi Tobias, well it will take some time to answer. Five years ago I started for a customer systems engineering project a small TW containing terminology in the field of expertise, terms of project management, QA regulations, and engineering framework applied.
In the first version the tiddlers contained only plain textual descriptions w/ images without any section structure. In more versions the TW became my personal notepad holding terms of the fields of computer science, project management, QA, testing, etc. I became more familiar with TW technique and usefull plugins, and the descriptions became more complex as well. In the next versions I started with sectioning for new added glossary tiddlers. In the next sections I introduced the !Overview sect. as kind of abstract for easy tiddler referencing and embedding. Later on I added between each main content section a refercence of the Overview part for ease of understanding Thus, the TW looks like an onion: the oldest tiddlers contain no structure, some have an Overview and a Main sect. w/o Overview reference, and some have an Overview and a Main sect. w/ Overview reference: --- v0.1 tiddlers ---- Blah blah Blab ---- end ---- --- v1.0 tiddlers --- !Tiddler Name blah blah ----- end ---- --- v2.0 tiddlers --- !Overview blah blah1 !Tiddler Name blah blah2 ----- end ---- --- v3.0 tiddlers --- !Overview blah blah1 !Tiddler Name <<tiddler [[TiddlerName##Overview]]>> blah blah2 ----- end ---- All relevant tiddlers are tagged with "glossary". Tiddler with additional tags "video", "abk", "glossary_transclusion" are apart from this scheme. I started the restructering because of consistency in content structure and references. Actualy ~800 of ~3600 items tagged as "glossary" are affected by the refactoring. Since these tiddlers differ in their structure due to historical reasons, a script would probably not apply.
