And let's have a closer look at the 2 different usecases of an "alias" *1st usecase*: Simplfy writing. We did create the <<aka>> macro to simplify the usage of "tiddler links" in plain texts. As "Alberto Molina" expressed it in his initial post <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/YlKBBl1Jdww/gLhrt85i_sIJ>, that started the discussion: ... I would like the links: [[Darwinism]], [[darwinism]], NeoDarwinism, > NaturalSelection, [[natural selection]], [[theory of evolution]] all refer > to the same tiddler (or different twin tiddlers with the same content in > view mode) without needing to specify: [[darwinism|Darwinism]], > [[NaturalSelection|Darwinism]], [[theory of evolution|Darwinism]], etc. *2nd usecase*: Aliases as Tags. I think, as soon as this happens, an Alias should be converted to a "real Tiddler". It still can exist in the "aliases" filed. But the simplest new tiddler should be created like this: title: aliasName {{Alias real Name}} This gives us the full range of new possibilities, without making it more difficult. eg: "Alexander the Great" could be an alias to the tiddler "Alexander III of Macedon". While the later can contain the pure facts, the new "physical Alias" can now contain some more info about the epithet "the Great", that was given to him by others. ... *My conclusion *at the moment is: There should be a point, where an alias should be a real tiddler becasue this also gives us the full possibilities of tiddlers as tags. .... and more :) just some thoughts. have fun! mario PS: Thanks for the reminder, that there is actually some work to do <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/YOj4pgiykBQ/iOl3Ky7aAAAJ> :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
