I'm trying to write a wiki using tiddlywiki for writing stories. The sources (and software packages) tell me to create 'card index files' for characters, locations. Note relevant details, so you can be consistent. Easy to do with a wiki, eh?
Lots of room for forms, templates, cross links and structuring. I'm doing all that after some false starts that tried out ideas. But one thing I haven't figured out ... The stories are a collection of "short stories" involving the same characters, same "village". For various reasons I don't want to do all the stories in one huge tiddlywiki. But the same characters and same locations crop up since this is a small community and small setting (village). I realize I could simply copy a prior tiddlywiki file for a new story, delete the storyline but keep the characters etc. That seems clunky, especially if I revise any of that 'baseline'. Having to copy back and to the other tiddlywiki files. So I'm wondering if there is a way to have a 'master' version and then have each subsequent story tiddlywiki have the tiddlers for the characters etc to refer back to that, somehow "mount" the master inside each story wiki? I know this seems strange but I really don't want all the copying back and forth to keep things consistent. Such seems to defeat the whole purpose of doing this on the computer with a wiki. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
