I don't see anything in the existing posts about replacing the viewTemplate.
When you tag a tiddler with $:/tags/ViewTemplate the contents of that
tiddler get added to every tiddler.
You can click on the $:/tags/ViewTemplate tag and rearrange the items so
that your new tiddler appears at the top or bottom of the list. Usually you
don't want to replace the entire body of the default tiddler because that
would be a lot of work. Usually you just want to add something new like
{{!!myfield}} to reveal the contents of a particular field. Often you want
to wrap the contents of your tiddler as Mat explained so that it is only
used under certain conditions (often based on a tag name, for instance).
I'm surprised that there isn't anything at TiddlyWiki.com explaining this
use -- it's a very common paradigm.

Thank you both :)
