<$checkbox tiddler="$:/config/wikilabs/enableOverwriteCheck" field="text" checked="yes" unchecked="no" default="no"> Enable Overwrite Check</$checkbox> By default, the import mechanism overwrites existing tiddlers. By enabling this option, you can activate a mechanism, that creates a new tiddler name. By default this option is off.
