A contributor can create a taxonomy term inline

The current experience in Drutopia is if the type or topic vocabularies do not have the term you need—or even no term at all—you need to exit content creation or editing to wend your way to the taxonomy section and add a term. Not intuitive at all.

I experimented with inline_entity_form and ief_complex_open. Inline entity form just showed the entire taxonomy term form. Complex was a bit less crowded, but showed an "Edit" and "Remove" button:

This is too confusing. For someone that does not understand that this is an inline form for another node, which I don't expect most users to intuit, they might assume that by clicking edit they are just changing the value in the field, when really they would be changing the entire taxonomy term.

I also experimented with the entity reference modal module → . This was a step closer even. The main problem is that the add new term button was hidden in the help div.

At the very least, the "+" text is configurable. When clicked, it opens the term field in a modal (as the module name suggests), which is pretty nice.
