Categories, tags & series

Categories are the broad buckets a post can belong to. The list is curated — admins decide which categories exist, and authors pick from that list while writing.

The categories page shows the full list as cards. Each card has a colour swatch, the name, and the slug (the URL part). Open a card to:

• Rename it.
• Edit the slug.
• Write a description (shown on the category’s page).
• Delete it (only if no posts use it).

Tags are free-form. Authors create them on the fly while writing — anything they type that doesn’t already exist becomes a new tag. That keeps tagging easy, but it also means the list needs occasional cleanup.

The tags page is a sortable table with the name, slug, and the number of posts using each tag. Search across all tags with the filter box. From here you can:

• Rename a tag.
• Merge two tags together. Pick a source and a destination — every post on the source tag is repointed to the destination, then the source is deleted. The UI shows how many posts got moved.
• Delete a tag (only if no posts use it).

Merging is the usual cleanup move when authors have created near-duplicate tags (“machine-learning”, “machine learning”, “ml”). Pick the canonical one and merge the others into it.

A series is an ordered set of posts that belong together — a connected sequence. The series list shows every series with its title, slug, and a short description.

Editing a series lets you change:

• The title.
• The slug.
• The description (shown on the series page).

The order of posts inside a series isn’t set on this page — it’s set on each post’s metadata panel by editors when assigning the post to the series.

A series can’t be deleted while it still has posts in it. Empty the series first, then delete it.
