As mark said these are conventions but in some ways they flow logically, here is my view
Any $:/ is a "system tiddler which stays out of regular search results State tiddlers - setting some value during a particular operation such as selection. If done again are often rewritten, however they may hang around so the tiddler or wiki remains in that "state" Temp tiddlers - Used at a moment in time, usually overwritten id they already exists, after the operation you don't care what happens to them Config tiddlers - A place to store settings, maintained available to be used when needed In the case of these hidden tiddlers sometimes we want unique ones, that relate to a single tiddler so we use the Qualify macro, it is wise to hide this from search by including a system prefix <<qualify $:/temp/valuename>> perhaps to edit text of a temporary tiddler, or if it is a persistent setting for that tiddler <<qualify $:/config/valuename>> Regards Tony On Monday, July 30, 2018 at 3:58:33 AM UTC+10, [email protected] wrote: > > hello, > > From what I noticed, some of the temp tiddlers are saved and not deleted. > The 2 I know that remain are "Search" and "Advanced Search" which appear to > hold last entered search term.
