The use case is this: I'm currently creating a bigger wiki to use in my work and I occasionally need some quick "special thing" like several tids with some extra pre-set fields or similar. So rather than go searching for a proper solution for this I whip up some button for it or some listwidget that makes a table with EditTextWidgets etc. This is what I mean with "generated". I often only have indirect control of the titles (e.g via a filter) and might assume they don't already exist. ActionCreateTiddlerWidget - oddly, I'm not even sure I knew about this!!!? I think my default has been to use tm-new-tiddler or ActionSetFieldWidget. Thanks! The other approach would be to check for the existence of a tiddler, and > skip creating it, perhaps making a report so you can handle it per case. > Safety checks rather than actual prevention of overwrite might, yeah if the circumstances allow.
