title: Using links to navigate between tiddlers
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
You can use links (normally displayed as blue text) to navigate from one tiddler to another. Clicking on a link to any tiddler will take you to that tiddler. If the tiddler is closed, it will be opened. The wonderful thing about ~TiddlyWiki is that it makes links to tiddlers as accessible as possible. There are links everywhere! Here are the key places where you can find links to tiddlers in ~TiddlyWiki:
* You can ''create a link'' to a tiddler, whether it exists yet or not, in the body of any tiddler. See [[Linking in WikiText]] to see the various easy ways to create links between tiddlers.
* Each ''tag pill'' in your tiddler (such as the ''Working with ~TiddlyWiki'' tag pill below the title of this tiddler) contains a link to that tag's tiddler, as well as lists of all the tiddlers that carry that tag. This lets you go to any of those tiddlers.
* The ''InfoPanel'' of each tiddler gives you access to four tabs containing additional lists of related tiddlers:
** The ''Backlinks'' tab lists all the tiddlers that link //to// the current tiddler.
** The ''Tagging'' tab lists all the tiddlers that have been tagged with the current tiddler's title.
** The ''List'' tab lists all the tiddlers (or potential tiddlers) mentioned in the [[list field|ListField]] of the current tiddler.
** The ''Listed'' tab lists all the tiddlers that mention the current tiddler in //their// list fields.
* The ''sidebar tabs'' contain numerous lists of links to tiddlers:
** The ''Open'' tab lists all the tiddlers that are currently open, i.e. visible somewhere on the page.
** The ''Recent'' tab lists the 100 most recently modified tiddlers, beginning with the most recently modified.
** The ''More'' tab offers eight additional lists of tiddlers:
*** ''All'' lists all tiddlers in alphabetical order.
*** ''Tags'' lists all the tags. You can click on the pill for any tag to access a list of the tiddlers tagged with that tag.
*** ''Missing'' lists any tiddlers that don't yet exist, but have been linked to from other tiddlers. This is helpful for finding tiddlers you planned to create, but never got around to.
*** ''Drafts'' lists any tiddlers that are currently in draft mode. ~TiddlyWiki considers a tiddler's draft to be a separate tiddler for as long as you are editing it, so while you're editing a tiddler entitled ''Australia'', there will be two tiddlers, ''Australia'' and ''Draft of 'Australia'''. When you close the draft by saving your changes to it, those changes will be applied to the ''Australia'' tiddler. So treat the ''Drafts'' tab as a way of finding any unfinished drafts you started.
*** ''Orphans'' lists all the tiddlers that are not directly linked from another tiddler. This is a helpful aid to editing your file - it shows you which tiddlers need to be integrated more carefully with the others.
*** ''Types'' lists any tiddlers with special content, such as images or audio.
*** ''System'' lists all of the SystemTiddlers.
*** ''Shadows'' lists all of the ShadowTiddlers.
* ''Search results'' are a list of the tiddlers that contain the text you type in the search box.
* Finally, you can create your own custom lists of tiddlers by various methods:
** You can transclude a [[filter|Filters]] (see [[Transclusion in WikiText]]). For example, adding `{{{ [tag[mountain]] }}}` to a tiddler will insert a list of all tiddlers tagged with ''mountain''.
** You can use the ListWidget. This is more complicated than transcluding a [[filter|Filters]], but in return it allows you more flexibility in designing and displaying the list exactly as you want it to appear.
