Mohammad,

My answer is genuinely "My own templates". Bothe object templates (To create a new tiddler "object" and View Templates to display each object-type). I build a tiddler with all the content and values desired, although I do avoid using the text field, One of the key field values is an object-type which is then used to apply a view template for that object-type when viewed.

However it is often simpler for new tiddlers with no text content to specify all the new fields and their values in the new tiddler button I create for the purpose.

One of my favorite tricks is to create new tiddlers in context. For example if I have a tiddler with a domain=personal project=newdb stored in the domain and project fields, I create the new tiddler with a custom button on the current tiddler, where in its fields I include domain={{!!domain}} project={{!!project}} so the new tiddler inherits these fields and values or "the context".

Thus I open any project or project task and click new and I get a new item in that context, without having to set domain and project.

Or perhaps you are interested in using the existing core templates, that's another story.

Regards
Tony

Thank you Tony!
 Yes I mean a more general template! Like the core ones for new tiddler and new journal
  By the way you gave quite useful info in your reply for creating new tiddlers



Best wishes
Mohammad
