S S , Ah, Sorry I did not see them. I just looked and clearly they are a result of documenting such "functional system tiddlers" in Tiddlywiki.com, even when they are not in use. If you look at empty.html you will see there are no "missing tiddlers". It is trivial when writing documentation to use the tilde ~ in front to stop them turning into links, but I question why one would, since clicking creates the tiddler and you could place notes in it for future reference.
I understand your concern they may be disconcerting to some new users who have not come to understand the value of automatically providing missing links, since in our own wikis this can lead us to learn of incomplete information. In some ways it is an inevitable product of the content in TiddlyWiki.com, but it it I take a copy of tiddlywiki.com offline for my own notes it is true any new missing links will be hard to identify in the large number already there. Rather than stop the *syslink* parsing could I suggest the best approach would be to create the missing tiddlers either empty (they will stop being missing) and/or with descriptive content, or even listing all the references to that tiddler as part of the documentation process, users on tiddlywiki.com could then find where that formally missing tiddler is discussed. The truth is many of these missing tiddlers, system or otherwise do in fact often point to shortfalls in the internal documentation and need attention anyway, so creating these should be part of the documentation effort. Where the link is clearly not required it should be edited to stop camel case or add the tilde, however this is unlikely to be valid with most system tiddlers named. Another approach may be to provide the ability to list "missing tiddlers" that are exceptions and filter them out of the list of missing tiddlers. If a tiddler is missing and not in the list it will still appear. Regards Tony On Saturday, 16 February 2019 00:18:51 UTC+11, S.
