When you edit a tiddler on https://tiddlywiki.com you will see a small ribbon inviting you to edit the source of the tiddler on GitHub.

If you are using Node.js, you can replicate this feature for your own TiddlyWiki-based site as follows:

# Make sure the following setting is included in the <$link to="tiddlywiki.info Files">`tiddlywiki.info`</$link> file in your [[wiki folder|TiddlyWikiFolders]]:
#> <pre><code>	"config": {
		"retain-original-tiddler-path": true
	}</code></pre>
# Copy the tiddler [[$:/ContributionBanner]] to your wiki
# Make the following changes:
## Adjust the GitHub link URL from https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/TiddlyWiki5/edit/master/editions/tw5.com/tiddlers/ to point to your own GitHub repo
## Make sure the wording of the text starting "Can you help us improve this documentation?" is appropriate for your visitors
## Adjust the link to [[Improving TiddlyWiki Documentation]] to point to your own tiddler with instructions for the contribution procedure
