Wiki Folder Structure Wiki folders can contain the following files and folders: * ''tiddlywiki.info'' - JSON file containing metadata for the wiki -- see [[tiddlywiki.info Files]] * ''\tiddlers'' - folder containing tiddler files comprising the wiki * ''\plugins'' - folder containing [[plugin folders|PluginFolders]] to be included in the wiki * ''\languages'' - folder containing [[plugin folders|PluginFolders]] for language plugins to be included in the wiki * ''\themes'' - folder containing [[plugin folders|PluginFolders]] for theme plugins to be included in the wiki Only the ''tiddlywiki.info'' file is required; everything else is optional. Any files and folders not listed above are ignored. !! Plugin processing To be usable in the browser, plugins just need to be included in the wiki. For wikis that are generated on the server, TiddlyWikiFolders can contain a [[tiddlywiki.info file|tiddlywiki.info Files]] that identifies the plugins to be included in this wiki: ``` { "plugins": [ "tiddlywiki/slider", "tiddlytools/chooser" ] } ``` Plugins names refer to plugin folders listed in TiddlyWiki5's root `plugins` folder. Plugins can also be included manually by copying them into the `plugins` subfolder of the wiki. !! Processing of `tiddlers` folder All the TiddlerFiles in the `tiddlers` folder are read into the wiki at startup. Sub-folders are scanned recursively for TiddlerFiles. Newly created tiddlers are stored in TiddlerFiles directly beneath the `tiddlers` folder, unless [[configured otherwise|Customising Tiddler File Naming]]. The default processing for sub-folders within the `tiddlers` folder can be overridden by providing a JSON file called `tiddlywiki.files` -- see [[tiddlywiki.files Files]].
