Can you use taxonomies/terms without creating pages for them?

[linky00]

In my site, I want to use taxonomies to categorise pages for various purposes, but I don’t want Hugo to create pages for them. If I configure disableKinds = ['taxonomy'] then everything works fine, but if I configure disableKinds = ['taxonomy', 'term'] then Hugo doesn’t load any of my taxonomies at all (for example, .Site.Taxonomies will return {}).

I can of course not disableKinds, but then Hugo will warn me every time that I haven’t created layout files for them, and the sitemap still points to these empty pages. Is there a way around this? Thanks!
