Hola Tomás,

 Should I use it just as a notebook for thoughts and ideas? should I write

First of all, try to generate a latex document from a TW with transclusions 
and different formatting (bullets, tables, etc.). If it works well, then I 
would recommend NOT separating your thoughts and thesis writing in two 
different TW, but that's just my opinion. I think it's a lot easier to link 
and transclude content if all is in a single TW.

I'm glad you like them. I also use Zotero to manage my bibliography, and 
its great for that purpose, but I personally don't like the interface when 
it comes to adding/reading notes or comments to the references. Its the 
reason why I set up those wikis. They are focused in humanities because its 
what I'm working on, but I think the structure can be customized for other 
purposes. Just change the autor/paper/quote categories to meet your needs. 
The important thing is that you find your own way. TW for Scholars is mine, 
but maybe its not yours. You need to find out.

Eric Schulman's answer is a very good starting point.

Best wishes,

Alberto
