Yes this is a rather provocative title!

But as I was manually upgrading a wiki, I noticed there were an amazing number of updated system tiddlers in my old wikis. With many tiddlers of name like $:/temp/NewTagName/refresh-386561188 whose contents is "yes"

Hi,

!! Backup First !!

These are probably state tiddlers from one of your plugins. ...

IMO you can safely remove them. As the name says: $:/temp ... So they are meant to be temporary and are created dynamically if needed.

If you find out, the plugin, that causes them _and_ there are 20+ of them, you could tell the author.

Yes, but it "grabs" attention, which you probably intended ;)

BUT imo it's not the right term in your context.

We use the term system prefix for: $:/ which is used for System Tiddler Titles

We use pragmas in the tiddler text area to tell the parser, how to process the content.

That's different things in TW.

have fun!
