Hi, is there any way to create custom taxonomies (or anything related) in Discourse similarly to how WordPress handles custom taxonomies? I’ve looked at custom fields for categories/tags, but not sure if that would fix the problem I’m trying to solve.

If the answer is no, does Discourse have a limit on how many tags you can have in a tag group? If no limit, does a high number of tags cause any performance issues?

Thanks for your advice.
