title: Hidden Setting: Default Type for Missing Tiddlers
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki

By default new tiddlers are created with a blank content type.

The hidden setting in $:/config/DefaultMissingType can be set to another content type which is used by default for new tiddlers created by clicking on a missing link (for example, `text/markdown` to default to Markdown for missing tiddlers). If no value is provided, the content type will be blank and WikiText will be used.
