Part of the issue is the idea of creating a Tiddler gets easily conceptually confused with creating a data record. This is something I have written at length about--that TiddlyWiki is NOT a "card-index"--though you can make it look like one. Usually when you create a record in software it creates a unique protected ID for a new record separate from whatever its user fillable fields add. Not so with Tiddlers. The "title" IS the ID. On the one hand its flexibly lightweight. On the other hand it adds complications. Especially if you need extensive inter-linking and need to change titling as you go along. As far as I understand it, within the current basic architecture, fundamentally changing that behaviour is not possible. So its more about accepting it or finding ways round it.
