The content wouldn't be displayed as a tiddler (there'd be no toolbar buttons etc.). So, one possibility is to update the list widget for the main story river to read an empty message from $:/config/EmptyStoryMessage. We should also expose it in control panel.\r\n> https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/1407#issuecomment-71647756"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/comments/71753981","html_url":"https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1428#issuecomment-71753981","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1428","id":71753981,"user":{"login":"tobibeer","id":97566,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/97566?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobibeer","html_url":"https://github.com/tobibeer","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobibeer/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobibeer/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobibeer/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobibeer/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobibeer/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobibeer/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobibeer/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobibeer/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tobibeer/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-27T23:49:59Z","updated_at":"2015-01-27T23:49:59Z","body":"Two things:\r\n\r\n1) If emptyMessage is to be the desired fallback I would appreciate if there was support for an **emptyMessage** like this:\r\n\r\n`<$list filter=\"foo\" emptyMessage={{SomeTiddler||SomeTemplate}}/>`\r\n\r\n2) Currently, setting an **emptyMessage** for the **$list** widget in [$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate](http://tiddlywiki.com/#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fui%2FViewTemplate) doesn't appear to do anything. => Bug?!?\r\n\r\n~\r\n\r\nHowever, I must say, I see drawbacks to this over #1407 and I already hear people asking for that other way of doing things ...and asking for updates to that then plugin so as to keep up with the core code it is going to hijack."}}
