How about ... When a tiddler is brand new, the user can edit both the title (which will be called title/id) and the sub-title (which will be above the title field). The title will have a suggested, date-and-userstamped title (why stamped? more below) After a tiddler is saved once and then subsequently edited, the editor will only present the subtitle field for editing, though it will present the title for copying. A user can turn off this behavior in the configuration, will have verbiage about the consequences of changing titles.
All of this will just impact the UI and possibly the documentation. Internally, everything can work as before. The date-stamped title will help prevent conflict when dragging tiddlers between TW instances (because otherwise there are going to be lots of 'New Tiddler 1' conflicts). Ideally the core would also offer something like uni-link, but even if it doesn't the user can make their own pretty link with whatever title they want. ---- Another solution would be a plugin that detects when a tiddler is being saved with a new title. Then, just like with tag tiddlers now, it will offer to find and change all matching tiddler links. Of course, this wouldn't help anyone who has a link from another TW instance. -- Mark On Tuesday, April 17, 2018 at 11:02:22 AM UTC-7, Jed Carty wrote: > > That is a good point.
