Weird Tag

[Captain Packers]

I have this weird tag that shows up in my Tag Manager and the tag drop list when I'm editing a tiddler (see attachment).

Does anyone know where this comes from and how I can get rid of it?

Thanks

Not a 100% answer but you may want to try the following.

I presume you cant open it with a click, can you change the colour to a known colour number not used by anything else?

It may be possible to search for that color name in the text of you wiki file opened in an editor, give it a better name and return to the wiki to delete it.

All it needs to exist is some tag field with some non space characters in it, by mistake. You could simply ignore it if you can't find the tiddler.

Perhaps it has a caption set?

Look under the tags menu in the side bar to see if you can find it, 

If you do not have many tiddlers or tags search/list for all tiddlers with a non blank tags field and check each one to find which is responcible.

Hi Captain Packers,

I have this weird tag that shows up in my Tag Manager and the tag drop list when I'm editing a tiddler (see attachment).

I think it is coming from Stephan Hadrek's http://tiddlystuff.tiddlyspot.com/

Look at his tags and search for JournalSkeleton.

Cheers,

Hi Captain Packers,

I think Ton Gerner is right, find the explanation in the link given by Ton. At some point in time I think most of us used that solution, so maybe you imported it from someones old TW. If so be ready to rewrite some buttons. 

It is also possible that you created a tag with illegit characters as Tony explains. I've had the problem after creating a button from a filter with errors.

For the benefit of the order, I found it by creating a new tiddlywiki and importing tiddlers from the old in batches, slowing down when I got to special tiddlers (those starting with $__). When I imported $__plugins_skeeve_newtiddler_SkeletonExample.tid, the tag showed up. Here is the ext of the .tid file (saved in node.js tiddlywiki)

created: 20131218133637784
creator: Stephan Hradek
field1: $(f1)$
field2: $(f2)$
modified: 20170714184423967
modifier: Stephan Hradek
tags: $(tag1)$
title: $:/plugins/skeeve/newtiddler/SkeletonExample
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki


This is some test: $(placeholder)$

So the tag  "$(tag1)$" was creating the weird tag. The funny thing was, even if you edited the tiddler and tried to remove the tag, you coulndn't. When I removed it in the text copy of the .tid file and imported again it was fine. No more weird tag.

I think I made a tiddler of his code at one point in time while trying to emulate some of the functionality and probably put a tag in the tag field that was not really a tag???

Anyhow, case dismissed, thank you all for your suggestions.
