To understand the topic taxonomy and terms, you may want to start with the Site Structure document.
In general, topic terms should only be added when the sutta really covers the topic term. If the word simply appears in the sutta, this is not enough to add it as a term.
If a topic taxonomy term has more than 20 suttas, it starts to become less useful to the reader. Therefore, we need to pay close attention when we consider assigning “hot topics” to suttas.
For these hot topics, the sutta really needs to give specific, important information about the topic.
