Template FAQ
- Why should category pages explain the topic before listing posts?Because taxonomy pages gain more SEO and UX value when they help readers understand the lane instead of dumping a raw list of titles.
- Why should tags not become the main structure?Because uncontrolled tag pages usually create thin archives with weak routing value, while category pages can align with the main product IA.
- Why keep category templates noindex until real content exists?Because the template is only a shell and should not be indexed before real editorial value is present.
