Taxonomy in the CMS
- Cecilia David
In school blogs, tags provide an easy way for a reader to view all related blogs in one place.
Tags work the same for Advancement stories and news items.
When tagging news stories, school blogs and Advancement stories, please choose from this taxonomy list:
Advancement Stories | News | School Blogs |
|---|---|---|
| Story of giving | Alumni | Alumni |
| Story of gratitude | Board of Governors | Anti-racism |
| Campus services | Associate Faculty | |
| Students | Campus services | |
| Cascade Institute | Cascade Institute | |
| Climate and Sustainability | Climate and sustainability | |
| Convocation | Convocation | |
| COVID-19 | COVID-19 | |
| Equity, diversity and inclusion | Equity, diversity and inclusion | |
| Event news | Faculty | |
| Faculty | Global perspective | |
| Gardens and grounds | Grants and awards | |
| Grants and awards | Indigenous | |
| Indigenous | Research | |
| Military | Resilience | |
| President | Students | |
| Research | Values-based | |
| Royal Roads in the media | ||
| Students |
If you feel a tag is missing, please notify Chris Ryan to request a new one.

Similar but not the same
Although the tag list for Advancement stories, news and school blogs are very similar to each other, they are not identical and they are different lists entirely. Blogs, news articles and Advancement stories do not share taxonomies.
If you click on an 'Alumni' tag while viewing a blog, you'll see a list of related blogs only. The list will not include news articles or Advancement stories.
If you click on an 'Alumni' tag while viewing a news article, you'll see a list of related news articles only.
If you click on an 'Alumni' tag while viewing an Advancement story, you'll see a list of related Advancement stories only.
