Taxonomy form

Users asked to enter pointless information

When creating vocabularies, users are overwhelmed by the number of options. We have a big textarea for vocabulary descriptions, but this is not used in core, so it's adding to the options without providing any benefit.

Vocabulary creation is long-winded

criticality: 
Moderate
Drupal7: 
Open
This happened to: 

User didn't expect to have so many options when creating a vocabulary, or for it to be a two step process.

Users Fill Out Advanced Settings For Terms (but they are never used)

criticality: 
Critical
Drupal7: 
Open
This happened to: 

Even if the user doesn't know what options like "Related terms" or "Synonyms", they feel compelled to fill them out.

No overview of terms on add term page

criticality: 
Moderate
Drupal7: 
Open
This happened to: 

When creating terms, the most recent term created is in drupal_set_message(), but there's no overview of all terms recently created.

Implications: 

Other users liked being able to add terms one after the other and noticed the drupal_set_message()

Solution: 
A longer list of recent terms on this page. Have a stripped down "add term" form on the term listing itself.

Vocabulary edit form 'Tags' is confusing

criticality:

Drupal7:

This happened to: 

User didn't know what the 'Tags' checkbox would do if unchecked.

When creating a vocabulary you're presented with a choice of 'Tags' as a checkbox. This controls both autocomplete and whether users can create new tags when posting content.

Implications: 

Taxonomy form handling needs a complete rewrite.

Solution: 
[#340652] (separates the widget and term creation). We should remove the checkboxes for "Tags" and "multiple select" and replace this with a radio for: Tags/autocomplete single select multiple select

Use radio to select taxonomy widget

Drupal7:

This happened to: 

Auto complete versus select list for the taxonomy widget, so when you create a vocabulary whether its tags of mutliselect

Implications: 

The field, has 3 checkboxes when its changed required will look wierd.
