Thank you for the comments. I wasn't very satisfied either with the loss
of functionality/design, then I thought of something slightly different:
the system is now presented as a "community search engine", which is not
meant to give access to the content directly but only to point to the
original wikis. It can be found here:
https://rawgit.com/erwanm/tw-aggregator/master/tw-aggregator.html
remark: some "syncer-browser" error appear, but it doesn't seem to have
any consequence (?). I don't know what this is, if somebody has an idea?
(It doesn't happen with the local version)
It now works like this: all the imported tiddlers are converted into
system tiddlers, thus making them (and the tags) invisible to the user.
A custom search box is proposed which searches only among these tiddlers
and gives directly the link to the original wiki (so the user never sees
the content inside this wiki)... except that this part doesn't work yet:
in the current version I didn't succeed in generating the links,
certainly because I'm not very comfortable yet with all the
widgets/macros stuff. My code is this:
\define build-link()
<$view tiddler=TWAggregatorSources
field={{!!source-wiki-id}}/>#{{!!source-tiddler-title}}
\end
<div class="tc-menu-list-item">
<$link to=<<build-link>>>
<$view field="source-tiddler-title"/> @<$view
field="source-wiki-id"/> (address=<<build-link>>)<br/>
</$link>
</div>
You can see it in
https://rawgit.com/erwanm/tw-aggregator/master/tw-aggregator.html#%24%3A%2FCommunitySearchListItemTemplate
Basically I'm trying to concatenate the two parts of the link, where the
first part is extracted from another tiddler based on the field
"source-wiki-id". I can obtain the right string but cannot make a link
out of it (hence the temporary "address=..."). If some of the experts
could give me a little help on that, that would be great!
Regards
Erwan

I am not sure what the point is in this context. Just scraping all the
tiddlers from TW sites without context is going to result in a largely
meaningless pile of things. Like you pulled the tiddler 'Add a reset
button that clears the form inputs without you having to make a new
whatever with the form, or clear them manually for all forms.' from my
site, which is just an entry on my task list that makes absolutely no
sense out of context. Even with the link to the original it still has
no context because the original is never seen by itself. So reading
the source wiki by the link on many of the tiddlers isn't at all useful.
That and almost none of the examples work, at least from my site. I
use a lot of system tags and plugins in the examples, so almost
nothing of any use comes from it (aside from basic text markup
examples, which you can get on tiddlywiki.com or probably on any other
site you get stuff from). In fact, since the examples don't work it is
probably counter productive since it has what are supposed to be
examples of how to make something work, and then it doesn't work.
If it were a curated list than it would probably be very helpful, with
something like a list of places to go to see how different people talk
about using a table of contents or other topics. As it is the
disadvantage of it being messy and inconsistent makes it almost
impossible to use. Your solution of clicking on the source link
doesn't help at all when it is something like 'Add a recepie book to
the dashboard', which sounds like it tells you how to do it out of
context, but it is just an entry on my task list.
So, a listing of all or most available resources with a list of what
is available at each one would be great, but scraping the wikis and
posting everything without any plugins or system tiddlers in another
place isn't going to do anything other than result in a confusing
jumble of mostly broken tiddlers.
