This isn’t intended to be prescriptive, but my own experience over the years of working with TW5 has been the gradual but emphatic realisation that things actually work much better if you embrace the proliferation of tiddlers. Right at the start there were a number of features that were intended to avoid that proliferation (in particular data tiddlers), but I’ve found over and over that one gets much more flexibility by exploding data structures into the smallest semantic units. A case in point here is that applying a comment as a field on a tiddler means that the tiddler itself must be modified in order to make a comment on it. That’s problematic in a multi-user situation when the tiddler belongs to somebody else. It also makes it impossible to apply a comment to a shadow tiddler. The technique doesn’t naturally extend to threaded comments either. Meanwhile, the apparent advantage of keeping the comment within the originating tiddler is that it keeps things neat and tidy, with the comment bundled together with the original tiddler. But I think that’s pretty illusory: ones data is already conveniently bundled together by virtue of being in a TiddlyWiki.
