Standard TiddlyWiki settings — site title, subtitle, animation speed, username, default tiddlers — live in the <$button class="tc-btn-invisible tc-tiddlylink"><$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/state/tab-1749438307" text="$:/core/ui/ControlPanel/Info"/><$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/state/tab--2112689675" text="$:/core/ui/ControlPanel/Basics"/><$action-navigate $to="$:/ControlPanel"/>Basics tab</$button> of the Control Panel's Info section.

Setting [[$:/SiteTitle]] overrides the tidbits logo at the top of this page.  Setting [[$:/DefaultTiddlers]] picks which tiddlers open at startup — for example, you might remove this [[Tidbits: About]] page and instead show your favourites with `[tag[Favorite]]`, or just `[[TableOfContents]]`.  To change the default file name for downloading your wiki, edit [[Filename|$:/config/SaveWikiButton/Filename]].

Edition-specific templates, styling, and logic all live under `$:/community/recipes/`.

The [[Recipe Box]] dashboard is built from cards.  To add one, create a tiddler tagged `$:/tags/community/recipes/recipe-box-card`, give it a `caption` field, and write whatever wikitext you like.  Use `list-before` or `list-after` against an existing card title (e.g. `$:/community/recipes/recipe-box-card/favorites`) to position it.

For deeper changes, edition CSS lives in `$:/community/recipes/stylesheet`; view, edit, and button templates live under `$:/community/recipes/ui/`.  Relink (rename safety) and AutoComplete (write-time suggestions) are bundled — drop in additional plugins using TiddlyWiki's standard plugin import.

!!! Translating

Tidbits' user-visible English text lives under `$:/community/recipes/language/`.  Drop a JSON pack of override tiddlers under that prefix onto your wiki to localise — see the sample <a href={{{ [[$:/community/recipes/config/sample-data-url]get[text]addsuffix[fr-FR/lang.json]] }}} class="tc-tiddlylink-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">French pack</a>.  A few things stay English by design in this pass: tag names (`Recipe`, `Ingredient`, `Category`, `Favorite`) and recipe-body section headings (`!! About`, `!! Ingredients`, `!! Steps`).  Add a `caption` field to a tag tiddler to localise its display, or rename via Relink for a deeper switch.
