TiddlyWiki: 5.1.23 with node.js and timimi

Hello! I am taking to heart the direction "Feel free to ask questions" because I am very much a newcomer.

1) I downloaded the Chrome extension for timimi before I learned about node.js - is timimi now redundant or do I still need it?

2) I am using my TiddlyWiki to organize notes for a large city in a role-playing game campaign I'm working on. If you are not familiar with Dungeons and Dragons and the like, imagine that I'm using it to organize all kinds information about a real life large city - how it is governed, the organizations (both known and shadowy) that hold power and influence in the city, major neighborhoods in the city, important buildings, influential individuals, events, etc. Sort of a mix of a travel guide, a history, and a reference. Is anyone else doing something similar? I'd love to look at examples.

3) Since I'm creating this city, I get to name things, and sometimes names change. If I've created a tiddler called "Smith District", linked to it in a few other tiddlers, and then subsequently change the district's name (and the tiddler title) to "Jones District", is there a way to automatically update the links and link text within the tiddlers that link to it?

I'd potentially like to create other tiddlers, but I'm experimenting with this relatively low stakes one first to get the hang of things. Thanks for any help!

Hi Jen and welcome!

I'm no RPG person but I understand many TW users are. If I recall, one of the latest videos was with two fellows using it for this. I think it is the second to most recent video.

For automatically renaming links the way you describe, you need the Relink Plugin by Flibbles.

Hello Jen and welcome!

Yep Timimi is only used for the single-file version. If you are running TW on node.js everything should save just fine without it.

3) Since I'm creating this city, I get to name things, and sometimes names change. If I've created a tiddler called "Smith District", linked to it in a few other tiddlers, and then subsequently change the district's name (and the tiddler title) to "Jones District", is there a way to automatically update the links and link text within the tiddlers that link to it?

You need the relink plugin: https://flibbles.github.io/tw5-relink/. It does exactly what you ask for.

I don't have much to offer on your second question, but it sounds like a cool project. Hopefully someone else has something to contribute.
