Mario,

I agree, it's a pluggin idea. The benefits may not be worth the effort...
However... For educational use...

It could be useful in the case where missing tiddlers come with a 'search
this on Wikipedia' prompt and the user is using Wikipedia as a major
resource.

In TiddlyWiki.com most of the links are to Wikipedia or static
TiddlyWiki.com. Automatically trimming URLs prefixed with TiddlyWiki or
Wikipedia, prettyfyining the slug into human readable form would reduce
visual clutter without the often tedious manual typing of pretty links.

In terms of branding TiddlyWiki and its identify, comparison and closer
integration with Wikipedia could be a good direction to point a branding
strategy;

Drifting off topic here, but concider the following as 'meta narratives',
sentiments note explicitly stated but communicated by 'showing not telling'
and by association.

'TiddlyWiki - your own personal Wikipedia'
Like Wikipedia, but quicker, easier and more flexible
Small is beautiful - (borrowed from Schumacker's small is beautiful, Budist
economics etc
TiddlyWiki - the wiki lovers wiki
Organic wiki - it's growing all the time
The wiki you can grow with
The wiki to grow old with
Wikipedia is a whale, TiddlyWiki is a tiddler...


Best wishes


Alex
