Hi,

As Hegart points out, the tension derives from the fact that the title is 
the primary key in the data-store. 

How would you differentiate between your three tweets if they have the same 
title and tags?

The best/simplest way to do this, in my experience, is to give them all 
names that start the same "KUNDUN (1997) Cast", "KUNDUN (1997) Clip" etc. 
and then have a 'master' tiddler called "KUNDUN (1997)" which gathers all 
the pieces (by transcluding all the tiddlers prefixed with it's own title). 
This way a search for "KUNDUN (1997)", for example, will return a list of 
meaningful titles instead of "KUNDUN (1997)" 5 times, which is not very 
informative. The other advantage to this is you could make a button to 
create new tweets about the film and take advantage of automatic 
incrementation ie; "KUNDUN (1997) Tweet #1", "KUNDUN (1997) Tweet #2" etc.

The other mechanism that's available is the 'caption' field - multiple 
tiddlers can have the same caption field and, if it's present, it gets used 
in favour of the title when the tiddler is displayed in certain contexts, 
like when the tiddler is used as a tab in the sidebar or elsewhere.

It should be possible to beef-up use of the caption field (by re-writing 
the view templates?), so that it is displayed as the tiddler title when 
present - basically start to try and separate the "human readable titles" 
from the "data-store keys" but this is likely to be a bit of a rabit-hole, 
there are good reasons for TW being how it is and I'm sure Jeremy is 
entirely cognisant of the trade-offs he's made in this area.

Bear in mind that if all 5 of your tiddlers end up with the same title, you 
will no longer be able to refer to any of them by that title, so you will 
need to remember, or easily refer to, their individual primary-keys and 
thus some of the 'magic' of tiddlywiki is lost and you're a database 
administrator.

Are you using TW for both creating and displaying the content? Are you able 
to post an example of your work so far or examples showing how you would 
like it to work? In my experience, the best solution to your problem will 
depend on the workflow you are trying to achieve.

Regards,
Richard
