Ultimately, I would like to see this at twiki.org.The main purpose of this topic is to document (in one place) the meta characters used in TWiki. A secondary use is to discuss changes & extensions to the meta characters, i.e. the shortcut syntax.
If this ever did go to twiki.org, these uses would have to be separated.
