Taxonomy Term References in Taxonomy Terms

I have a few taxonomies on my site, and I have written _index.md pages for some taxonomy terms to provide more information about them. However, it seems like taxonomies within these _index.md files are ignored. e.g.

config.toml

[taxonomies]
  tag = "tags"
  category = "categories"

/tags/bus/_index.md

+++
title = "bus"
categories = [ "land", "urban" ]
+++
A bus is a mass-transport option.

I never see a /categories/land or /categories/urban get created. Is this possible?

No, it is not. You can add terms to the following page kinds: page, section, and home.

Thanks for the reference. Is there a reason why you can’t add terms to term kind pages?

As of v0.123.0 you can apply terms to the following page kinds:

  • page
  • section
  • home
  • taxonomy
  • term

content/tags/tag-a/_index.md

title = 'Tag A'
categories = ['cat-a','cat-b']

Not that you would ever want to, but you can apply the term to the term itself:

title = 'Tag A'
tags = ['tag-a']
