Decide whether a label should be a category or tag

Categories usually organize the main browsing structure, while tags can describe cross-cutting attributes. The choice should reflect the visitor's task.

Put it into practice

Ask whether the label defines a primary destination or refines several destinations. Avoid duplicating every category as an identical tag.

Worked example · illustrative

What this looks like

Analytics can be a main integration category, while open source may describe tools across many categories.

Before you move on

Does the label help visitors navigate or merely repeat an existing field?

Write down the evidence for your answer. If you cannot point to a concrete example, revise the work before treating it as ready.

A repeatable workflow

  1. Start with a real visitor question.
  2. Test labels against representative listings.
  3. Keep category changes understandable for editors and visitors.
