"Default tiddlers" refers to the list of tiddlers that are opened at startup in the browser if the address bar does not include a permalink.

There are two ways default tiddlers can be defined:

• A title-list eg: TiddlerTitle and [[Title with spaces]]
• Filter expressions The resulting list of titles is then inserted into the [[story river|Story River]]. The [[control panel|$:/ControlPanel]] ''-> Info -> Basics -> Default tiddler'' setting includes a text box for direct access to $:/DefaultTiddlers.
