I can totally understand the desire to avoid settings bloat in $:/ControlPanel > Settings (I feel it especially on a small smartphone screen). As well as cloaking easy opportunities for beginner users to shoot themselves in the foot. What I’m not happy with is that I still had to resort to asking other users for help in forum after trying to find it out myself. It’s primarily a rant against myself. I have a wiki which contains the TiddlyWiki docs, which I started to read before the situation described in OP became an itch. It has this setting documented, it has the concept of hidden settings quoted above documented as well, but of course I didn’t remember everything I’ve read after one pass (and my main knowledge base wiki doesn’t bundle the docs at all). In fact, I even tried to remember when I’ve read about it in the docs after it was mentioned above in this topic - and I couldn’t remember it either. Yet I already know that settings are stored as tiddlers. I know the concept of shadow tiddlers and the caveats of modifying them. I just couldn’t make the whole logical connection on my own. Perhaps if $:/ControlPanel > Settings page contained an explicit reference to the documentation for hidden settings, it would’ve been easier? Does this look like a reasonable compromise?
