Taxonomies, authors and series

Use native top-level assignments across all content kinds:

---
title: Observing a useful pattern
authors: [editor, researcher]
tags: [science/optics, tools]
categories: [learning]
series: field-notes
---

The theme’s narrow taxonomy imports supply tags, categories, authors, series and preset. Moving an article to another section does not require another assignment schema. Its URLs, relative links, owner and fallback settings may change.

#Global identities and local browsing

Native global terms gather published assignments across the current language. Sidera’s contextual views filter those assignments to a browsing root: for example, /tags/tools/ versus /notes/tags/tools/. Nested independent roots stay separate. Generated taxonomy/archive pages are navigation, not authored docs chapters.

Tags/categories are flat by default; the notes preset interprets tags hierarchically. params.taxonomy_hierarchy: [tags, categories] opts either vocabulary into hierarchy at a collection root (or the site for global views). science/optics then includes ancestor science, with deduplicated member counts. In flat mode the slash remains part of one exact term. Do not repeat every ancestor on each article.

Tag/category vocabulary indexes and archives are complete, unpaginated views. Term article results still paginate. Hide taxonomy navigation without deleting assignments using taxonomy_navigation: []. Term links use taxonomy_links: tags/categories/series prefer section destinations, authors/preset prefer global; missing scoped destinations fall back to actual globals.

#Describe authors

Create content/authors/editor/_index.md with native title, description and body. Optional local params.avatar selects a safe local image. Multiple authors retain their authored order; byline is separate credit text. show_authors: false hides attribution, not membership. Native global author identity is not duplicated for each collection. Explicit term slug/URL can keep a route stable when changing a name.

#Sequence a series

One distinct native series term per article is supported. The same term can appear in several collections: each collection has its own sequence; the global term shows the union. The order is oldest PublishDate first, undated last, then Title/Path ties. Pins, lastmod, main-list order and native series_weight do not reorder it. Omit series_order or use publication; no weight mode is supported.

Cards show position/total, and the article footer’s series component gives the complete collapsible outline. Removing that component hides the outline, not membership or card badges. Collection Previous/Parent/Next is a separate sequence.

#Keep private inputs out of publication

Use native ignoreFiles or mount files filtering for editor support files; they are respected before source discovery. Draft/future/expired content is still an included source and must have structurally valid metadata. See troubleshooting and limits for route/source boundaries and private validation builds. Search opt-outs and hidden menus are not access controls. Generic taxonomy setup is documented by Hugo.
