To boost previous descriptions It is a naming standard
It is a naming standard that defines a System tiddler. System tiddlers are treated a little differently, such as not being listed in search results unless you use advanced search or [is[system]] in a filter. Most systems tiddlers are created within and from the core, however they are also used from plugins and temporary tiddlers, can be used by you and cloned if required. The other way tiddlers are often treated differently is if they are tagged with other system tiddlers eg; $:/tags/ViewToolbar $:/tags/ViewTemplatefooter $:/tags/ViewTemplate $:/tags/TextEditor/Snippet $:/tags/SideBar $:/tags/PageControls $:/tags/Macro $:/PSaT/ActionTagged/Macro Or have special fields like caption See also information on shadow tiddlers, which also often use the $:/ prefix.
