Nice, everything seems to be working as expected for me :) tax.mp4The names / descriptions of the templates are a bit tricky to grok sometimes, but I appreciate we're somewhat restricted there. Things get a bit strange if you have taxonomy terms with the same name, attached to different post types. For example I have:
If I create templates for Post->Uncategorized and Product->Uncategorized I see this in the templates list:
I have no idea which is which. Could we include the post type in the description? (Definitely open to other ideas). This would help with the template menu as well, where it's not super-obvious what is the difference between "Category" and "Single taxonomy: Category":

Hm.. that's interesting indeed. First I have to note that the taxonomies are not in a 1:1 relation with post types, so it doesn't help to show any linked post type as a hint. The real problem here is that some taxonomies like
I'm wondering how we can differentiate these if we can't rely on the labels.. 🤔 Something unique is the taxonomy slug, but not sure it will be much helpful. |

This is where the mosaic view would be useful, because you'd be able to tell the difference visually. Still, we do probably need to have some unique identifiers in the label / description.
That's true, but each taxonomy has a list of associated post types(?), so perhaps we could attach that list to the description somehow? Otherwise it does seem like the slug is the only unique thing we can rely on 😓 |

@ntsekouras and I had a pairing session today and discussed ideas to manage complexity around this feature, especially in the broader context of expanding the Template Editor's capabilities (#37407). For now, I pushed some straightforward refactorings as well as some minor changes to the config model:
These changes should cause no change in behaviour. See: compare/b3156445d..82997c9 I have a bunch of ideas brewing — some of them mutually contradictory — about how to improve the implementation, but they shouldn't hold this PR back. As far as I am concerned, this is good to go, but some fresh testing would be welcome! |

Highly debatable, but I think we could keep the description as is, just because it's clearer to understand the idea if we are focused on the CPT case, but it becomes a bit too abstract if we try to generalise (e.g. "where %1$s is the singular name of a concrete WordPress entity […]").

I am a bit biased, and my goal with the refactoring with useDebouncedInput and useSearchSuggestions was to rewrite in a way that doesn't need comments to be easy to understand. So: is it succeeding? Or should these hooks be described?

I think it can be addressed as part of: #41875 (comment) as well. Personally I know exactly what it does, so I might not be the best candidate to judge as well.

I would approve Miguels changes, but I can't since it's my own PR 😄 . I will merge this and we can do some quick follow ups for renaming some vars or some refactoring, if we see fit, and the main thing would be to address the case where taxonomies use the same labels with |

If we can list the post types the taxonomy is associated with we might do something like:
|
…taxonomies, specific term, specific category and tag
Isolate all template-computing logic in a macro hook (useMarkPersistent)
Also rename and move some other variables for clarity.

Part of: #37407
This PR expands the templates that can be added by handling custom taxonomies and specific terms of any public taxonomy, including
categoryandtag.How?
It uses the same design for custom post types that is already merged.
taxonomy-$taxonomy_slugand we have available terms that don't have a specific template created, it will show a modal with two options to create either of them. You can search through the available terms to create a specific template for it.taxonomy-$taxonomy_slugand we don't have available terms that don't have a specific template created, clicking the menu item will just create thetaxonomy-$taxonomy_slug.taxonomy-$taxonomy_slugand we have available terms that don't have a specific template created, it will show the UI for searching the available terms.taxonomy-$taxonomy_slugand we don't have available terms that don't have a specific template created, the menu item will not be added.This also applies for
categoryandtagwith different slugs though(technical detail).Testing Instructions
