Fantastic Beasts and How to Taxonomize Them (A wizarding guide to the Drupal Taxonomy System)
summary
A practical walkthrough of Drupal taxonomies that builds vocabularies, populates term lists (flight, venomous, underwater breathing, etc.), attaches them via entity reference fields to a creature content type, and uses Views relationships to group pages by taxonomy and create paged listings. It demonstrates a five-point danger rating, a creature capabilities checklist, and shows that hierarchical habitats need careful pruning; the Views pages render correctly once relationships and sorting are configured.
