title: TiddlyWikiFolders

As well as traditional single file wikis, TiddlyWiki5 [[under node.js|TiddlyWiki5 Node Edition]] supports wikis that are stored as a folder of individual tiddler files.

! Wiki folder files and folders

Wiki folders can contain the following files and folders:

* ''\tiddlers'' - folder containing tiddler files comprising the wiki
* ''\plugins'' - folder containing [[plugin folders|PluginMechanism]] to be included in the wiki
* ''tiddlywiki.info'' - JSON file containing metadata for the wiki. See below

Only the ''tiddlywiki.info'' file is required, the ''tiddlers'' and ''plugins'' folders are optional. Any files and folders not listed above are ignored.

! Content of `tiddlywiki.info`

The `tiddlywiki.info` file in a wiki folder contains a JSON object comprising the following fields:

* ''plugins'' - an array of CorePlugins to be included in the wiki
* ''doNotSave'' - an array of tiddler titles that should not be saved by the FileSystemAdaptorPlugin
* ''includeWikis'' - an array of relative paths to external wiki folders to be included in the wiki

For example:

```
{
	"plugins": [
		"tiddlywiki/tiddlyweb",
		"tiddlywiki/filesystem"
	],
	"doNotSave": [
		"$:/StoryList",
		"$:/HistoryList",
		"$:/status/IsLoggedIn",
		"$:/status/UserName"
	],
	"includeWikis": [
		"../tw5.com"
	]
}
```
