I am very against prescriptive rules in something like tiddlywiki. If you don't have a reason to use tags than you don't need to use them. There is nothing magic about them that you can't do with tiddler namespaces or fields. If you are comfortable with using fields than the tags field has restrictions that can make it less useful than other fields.
So, there are no examples of tags being the best and irreplaceable tool because they are just an implementation of what you can do with fields built into the core. Tags outperform linking with advanced search when you don't have time or don't have the experience with data systems and coding required to set up another system Tags don't really help you model anything that you can't with other fields, they are just a shorthand method for the same thing What makes a good tag is completely application specific and possible specific to the person using it, there isn't a general answer to this The number of tags in a wiki to make it effective is the same as above, there isn't a general answer. I have wikis with no tags that do complex things and I my bookmarks wiki has thousands of tags. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
