Hi, If it's any use to anyone, I'm currently storing two collections of tiddlers externally to my wiki as JSON files, and I just pull them in when I need them. The tiddlers contained within each are all tagged, so I can quickly purge them again by filtering for that tag. This has been very useful for me as I'm generating my tiddlers in a Google Sheet, and exporting them as CSV, then converting the CSV for JSON. Whenever I've created a new batch of data in my spreadsheet, I just go through the steps and, voilà! I have a whole new set of tiddlers in my TiddlyWiki.
Hope that is useful somehow, Hegart.
