Alias links show in the missing tiddlers list. #1

Links that are aliases should not show in 'Sidebar -> More -> Missing' because they do actually point to a page that exists, and it makes it harder to find tiddlers that are actually missing.

Hey, good catch! Unfortunately, that's going to be a bit tricky to implement, because the code determining if a tiddler exists is in the boot.js file. I may be able to hack around it by editing the "Missing Tiddlers" sidebar tiddler. But I won't be able to get to that for a while.

Hey, I'm still deciding how I want to fix this going forwards, and what the correct behavior should actually be. I can just as easily see people wanting to know which tiddlers are missing, even if they're aliases, so they can correct the links later, or wanting to only see as missing ambiguous aliases.

But for your purposes, you can use the attached tiddler to update the filter for the "missing" sidebar to ignore tiddler titles that are aliases. core_filters_missing.txt You should be able to import it as a ".tid" file.

That works great, thanks.

Some suggestions for a more permanent fix would be:
