I’m wondering if I’m going about this wrong. I’m trying to learn more about TiddlyWiki in the course of writing a large documentation wiki for a work project. But I keep getting stymied in trying to find what I think should be fairly straightforward technical information. I’m wondering if I’m not…

Answer: No, you’re not doing anything wrong. I can’t say why things are the way they are, but… anyone/everyone is welcome to submit documentation updates (not a great answer, I know). Regarding your underlying issue: this might be what you’re asking about: https://tiddlywiki.com/#%24%3A%2Fconfig%…

And often when someone crosses the threshold (usually by learning of some term or phrase that had not be…

[image] Scott_Sauyet: So it’s difficult to figure out even how to contribute. There is some documentation about contributing to the documentation here: https://tiddlywiki.com/#Improving%20TiddlyWiki%20Documentation

[image] Springer: I think I recall some discussion of monitoring what was being searched-for at tiddlywiki.com … so that it would be easier to see how many people expected to find info on, say, “disjunction” (that was me for a long time) or “temporary” (etc.). Top three search terms should become…
