Yeah, but that sample I created is one button that will batch-create an unlimited number of missing tiddlers. You just need to modify it so that it creates all tiddlers with your preferrred default values. That's a fair bit of good bang for the buck.
More suitable for your purposes: I'd suggest that you create an alternative tiddler save button that saves the tiddler and then immediately does the batch-creation of missing tiddlers in the same was as my "Missing Tiddlers Manager" does. I suggest that instead of altering the current save mechanism just to future-proof your custom save.
