In TW tags are mainly used to create dynamic lists. like the TOC <https://tiddlywiki.com/#Table-of-Contents%20Macros%20(Examples)> or a list of links <https://tiddlywiki.com/#list-links%20Macro>. If the tag is also a tiddler, those lists can be sorted, using the list-field <https://tiddlywiki.com/#ListField> * When do tags outperform linking with advanced search? > less typing. > * What do tags help me model that I can't already? > As you pointed out, having a tiddler naming convention helps with searching. ...

Like good tiddler names, finding a good name that fits, is hard. ... Several iterations may be needed. ... The advantage here is, that refactoring tags, most of the times also leads to refactoring the content.

If a tiddler has more tags, they tend to cause too much "noise", because they show up in too many different lists. > I assume the vast majority of TW users abuse tags very hard. > If you don't want to use the "tag-space" to create an outline or toc-like structure, there are other possibilities. eg: my tocP plugin <https://wikilabs.github.io/editions/tocP/>, which uses user-fields to create the connection between different tiddlers. have fun! mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
