Taxonomy: an established way to tag content

The current system to tag content is using the tags-field. While this works in some use cases, you quickly can run into hard issues later on. E.g.:

• CRUD in a centralized view or UI for terms
• make sure your terms are applied consistently to the content in all multilingual versions (e.g. with translate: false, but outputs the translated term in the template)
• hierarchical terms
• attach fields to terms
• …

I’ve braindumped more about this here: https://www.notion.so/mnfrm/Kirby-taxonomy-a60c2446f9c1402e8ac50cc0c9051694

Since you have already thought a lot about this: what are the pro/cons of having this as a plugin vs. in the core?

The current structure field is quite simple (intentionally?), it could be useful to more people if such taxonomy features were available. Of course using/making a plugin is possible too.
Note: there’s now –> https://github.com/hananils/kirby-choices

A small addition, would this also help to manage the tags you entered, for example to remove typos? I’m looking for a way to do this.

For the record, some plugins emerged meanwhile :

• https://github.com/sylvainjule/kirby-categories
• https://github.com/bvdputte/kirby-taxonomy

Coming from WordPress and using taxonomies extensively, find it strange this isn’t built-in in a more robust manner. Would be great to be able to get counts, and bulk editing etc.

Now there’s ClavisVerbum too :)
