Dealing with repetitive titles?

[Maddog Noriko]

I am fairly new to tiddlywiki but love it! I have to resist just putting everything in one wiki.

So, I am using it now to organize my rpg info. I am inputting my modules now. My question is... I'm gonna have a lot of 'Room 1' tiddler titles. Obviously that can't be, but there must be some sort of work around? Thank you much. Todd

Maddog,

Sorry I am not familiar with your rpg but what does each Room 1 tiddler represent?, Sounds like you should be tagging each with "Room 1" not using it as the title.

If you can't make use of the title to store meaningful information, while tagging it "Room 1", creating a new tiddler with the same name (Eg use clone) should result in Room 1 N where N is blank, 1, 2 etc... so N will indicate the order of creation which may itself be useful information (Although the created date also contains this)

Lets say each room 1 tiddler was something you found or learned in "Room 1" why not use that as the title, titles can be short sentences with additional information only in the text field. Or you could have "Observation Tiddler N" tagged "Room 1".

If using tags for rooms needs too many tags we can discuss other methods.

Regards

Tony

For my notes I use namespaces, for most RPG locations that I have had notes on this worked well because you can do things like 'Obelisk of Obliteration/Room 1'and  'Pinnacle of Mild Peril/Room 1' for the titles. Then use tags or other fields to let you organise things.

As a side note, templates are very useful for things like this.

You make a template that displays the room information in a way that is useful and then make each room tiddler just contain the required information in its fields. Someone on the forums here made/is making a wiki with all of the free DnD 5 content in it. Last I saw it was very well done and may be a good place to look for inspiration or for things to reuse.

And as an even more off-topic side note, I made Bob to get around the desire to put everything into one wiki, it lets you create a lot of wikis and can have an easy list of all of them in your wikis.

I changed from having one wiki with all the rpg info in it to one per module/scenario.

Thank you for the reply. I think using the "room description" is the best route...for now. I can't believe how powerful tiddlywiki is in such a small package. Utterly awesome.

I'll have to explore the template idea too. I've already got many wikis planned...can't type as fast as I can think stuff up.
