Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
Categories Status lets you assign a Draft status to taxonomy terms, allowing you to temporarily hide them from the frontend without permanently deleting them.
Instead of deleting categories, tags, or custom taxonomy terms that may be needed again in the future, simply change their status to Draft. Draft terms remain available in the WordPress admin and can be restored at any time by changing their status back.
This plugin is especially useful for websites with frequently changing categories, seasonal content, product classifications, or custom taxonomies.
