Datestamped title vs not
I think I understand Ste's question and I think it could be solved: The
request is to have as simple titles as possible. When a date is baked into
the title, it is not simple anymore. Also, if it was a non-shared tiddler
first and you then publish it, it changes title or becomes a new tiddler,
and your old links to the original doesn't work or are no longer to the
latest version of it.
So, one idea would be to make ALL tiddlers have a datestamp in the title
but to hide this part. Or to simply have half of the tiddlers ID be the
title and the other half the datestamp, which is in another field. (IMO
that's a good idea) In your local wiki, a link could be parsed so that IF
there are two conflicting (simple) titles, then - and only then - does the
datestamp come into question. The clickable link might for example have an
intermediary step in the form of a small dropdown that lets you select
which of the conflicting titles it is you want to open. My point is just
that I think it is solvable - and I also think the request for simple
titles is justified.
...or maybe *I* misunderstand something fundamental?
