In case I want to use multiple wikis and want to embed wikis into a master wiki. Because the include plugin from TWC don't work n TW. Any way to do this? To display the content of wikis in a main wiki.
Those who use multiple wikis to store large amount of info what strategies you have to organize your data?

I use bob, I have all of my wikis listed in the sidebar in a tree structure and have one wiki for each project/topic. I have around 100 wikis with my current setup.

Thanks for the answer. What plugins do you use for this? How to embed other wikis and list them in sidebar?

Any way to do this without Bob? I want portability between Ubuntu, Wndows 10 and Android.

Do explain what you mean by embed.

I sometimes use an iframe

I mean displaying the content of a wiki in another one in a single tiddler such as iframe does. The usage of permalinks in a main wiki is a time consuming solution, include plugin-like methods not available, so probably I will use the iframe if there is no other variants.

You might want to check out the "inner wiki plugin". 
I'm probably saying the obvious but do note that iframes don't let the iframe content interact with the outer content. E.g you can't locate a tiddler in another wiki (unless you're using some index, as discussed last month, but that of course needs updating every now and then.)

In contrast, Jeds Bob solutions really integrates the wikis.

The inner wiki plugin looks interesting but I remain at static TW not the node version because I can't use video files as in the static version. And this plugin is almost the same as iframes in the static version for me correct me if I am wrong.

Hello Jed.

How can you see in the sidebar a tree-shaped structure of the wikis that Bob contains? In my case I only see in the sidebar a list of the wikis I have, one below the other. Does it have to do with children's wikis ???

Regards.

It looks like that is part of what I need to add to the documentation.

you can make a wiki 'hello' and a wiki 'hello/there' you will get a tree is the sidebar like this:

hello
- there

you can make as many levels as you want.

if you have existing wikis you can rename them to make this happen, so if you have a wiki 'project1' and a wiki 'work' you could rename project1 to 'work/project1' and it would be listed under the work wiki.

Thank you very much Jed.

I think I had read it in a post before, but I no longer remembered how it was done.

Greetings.
