Are you referring to tiddlywiki.com or perhaps tw on github or some kind of

The documentation on tiddlywiki.com is not clear enough? Not findable? 
(And, actually, the term "slider" is not really used in TW5. We used in in 
TWC but it became ambiguous as slider these days refer to sliding images. 
In TW5, it is probably the revealwidget one is after.)

Given the single-file nature of TW I'm not sure that is possible.

Further specific suggestions are welcome. Even if I should add that most 
questions about the website tiddlywiki.com and the github repository are 
solely up to Jeremy to decide about.

I agree. Its chaotic & fragmentary (experientially). And it favours micro 
tech interests over completed applications. No ordinary user is gonna be 
interested in knowing that have to do 7 complex steps to get moving.

In mitigation I would say that the active developers are really passionate 
and not deaf to user needs. BUT they are few and dealing with ongoing tech 
issues, not so much auto-focused on ordinary usage.

It most likely TW needs a Marketing Branch, IMO, of people who are 
face-outwards to get it better  known & used.
