Clarify greyed out terms on taxonomy term listing pages

Created on 11 June 2025, about 1 month ago

Problem/Motivation

The taxonomy term overview page shows some terms in a greyed-out state (CSS class taxonomy-term-preview) without any clear indication to users why these terms appear differently. This is confusing for content editors and administrators who don't understand that these are preview terms from adjacent pages, shown to maintain hierarchical context. The current implementation lacks user feedback and documentation about this behavior.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a vocabulary with multiple hierarchical terms and ensure they exceed the page limit to overflow onto the next or previous page
  2. Navigate to taxonomy term overview page
  3. Observe greyed-out terms without explanation

Proposed resolution

  • Add clear visual indicators and help text to explain the preview terms functionality:
  • Improve CSS styling for better visual distinction
