Learning Tiddlywiki, some input, suggestion, and insight from a new user

#21

Yup, super simple! Locate the plugin in the Control Panel or More > Plugins in the sidebar, click on the title to open it as a tiddler, and then delete it. If you haven’t customized your tiddler toolbar, the delete button may be hiding under the “More actions” button/dropdown at the top of the tiddler.

This won’t remove any “real” tiddlers you’ve promoted from shadows (by editing them), so you may (or may not) want to go through the contents tab of the plugin and delete any non-bolded tiddlers first.

Just stay aware of what exact functionality from the plugins (macros, filters, widgets) are present in your notes, therefore making them dependent on the plugin. It’s easier to explain on some examples:

  • Using Relink only to update links/references when renaming – you can safely remove it.
  • Using Relink’s filter operators to construct some custom elements – it will stop working if you remove plugin.
  • Using Section Editor just to collapse/edit individual sections – you can safely remove it.
  • Using SE to construct the “Patchwork tiddlers” – these will not be possible to display without the plugin.
  • Using Shiraz to create quick or dynamic tables – these will not work after removing the plugin.
  • Themes, palettes, and plugins that create their own UI for all they do like Auto Complete or Command Palette can be safely removed.
