description: Configure taxonomies.
categories: []
keywords: []

The default configuration defines two [taxonomies](g), `categories` and `tags`.
{{< code-toggle config=taxonomies />}}
When creating a taxonomy:
- Use the singular form for the key (e.g., `category`).
- Use the plural form for the value (e.g., `categories`).
Then use the value as the key in front matter:
{{< code-toggle file=content/example.md fm=true >}}
---
title: Example
categories:
- vegetarian
- gluten-free
tags:
- appetizer
- main course
{{< /code-toggle >}}
If you do not expect to assign more than one [term](g) from a given taxonomy to a content page, you may use the singular form for both key and value:
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
taxonomies:
author: author
{{< /code-toggle >}}
Then in front matter:
{{< code-toggle file=content/example.md fm=true >}}
---
title: Example
author:
- Robert Smith
{{< /code-toggle >}}
The example above illustrates that even with a single term, the value is still provided as an array.
You must explicitly define the default taxonomies to maintain them when adding a new one:
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
taxonomies:
author: author
category: categories
tag: tags
{{< /code-toggle >}}
To disable the taxonomy system, use the [`disableKinds`] setting in the root of your site configuration to disable the `taxonomy` and `term` page [kinds](g).
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
disableKinds = ['categories','tags']
{{< /code-toggle >}}
[`disableKinds`]: /configuration/all/#disablekinds
See the [taxonomies] section for more information.
