Helpful

My theme limits some things in wordpress but this plugin has allowed us to add categories and tags to our pages. Very helpful in grouping and labeling types of pages.

Really useful

A really useful plugin for when you realise you need to refine your data structure. Works like a charm, switching terms between categories, tags and custom taxonomies.
