If this has already been answered in the Group, my apologies - I did search first, without luck.

The short answer is use TW5 unless you have a specific reason to use TW Classic.



Either one can be opened and viewed in any modern browser, so that isn't much of a concern. New plugins and features generally only target TW5.

Due to modern browser security features saving has become more of an issue in the past few years, and new saving methods may not work with TW Classic. If you are not sending the wiki to someone else to edit this isn't a concern for them.

TW5 has more activity in its development and support. I think TW Classic is still supported and the development is continuing at least in bug fixes, but the majority of the community has switched to TW5.

Thank you very much, Jed! That helps, and I'll now dive into TW5.
