I'm very new to TiddlyWiki, specifically about 3 hours now. So far it looks 
extremely interesting, but wholly unusable at the moment. I'm at a complete 
loss as to how "name" and "title" seem to work on a tiddler. I can't 
actually add a "title" field which seems to make it a reserved word IMO, 
but "name" can be added and displayed as a field, which may mean it isn't. 
Very confusing.

As much fun as I am having, it seems I'm reduced to naming Tiddlers with 
very unfriendly names with no spaces. When I name a tiddler with a 
"friendly" name like, "Tar error on OpenBSD 5.6", it cannot be referenced 
or linked anymore as indicated by the documentation. For example, adding 
[[Tar error on OpenBSD 5.6]] does not work on a different Tiddler as a 
reference. 

Only by naming my Tiddlers something *ugly* like tar-error-openbsd-5.6 or 
TarErrorOpenBSD, will it actually work. While I tried to review the shadow 
Tiddlers PageTemplate and ViewTemplate, I am not having very much luck 
figuring out how to modify TiddlyWiki to include a friendly name for a 
Tiddler and display it instead.

My current workaround is to forcefully add a human readable title by:

[[Tar error on OpenBSD 5.6|tar-error-openbsd-5.6]]

That works just fine, but does not pull a name from the Tiddler, which is 
obviously inefficient and wrong. It should pull that information from the 
referenced Tiddler instead of an ugly hack inline every time. Compounding 
the problem is that regardless of my human readable title, when clicked the 
Tiddler will show the ugly title instead of the name. That puts me back at 
square one.

Can somebody give me some direction on how I can modify TiddlyWiki to have 
friendly names for the Tiddler titles without breaking the references or 
links?

Thanks
