+!!! warning "Large Taxonomy Vocabularies"
+ The Drupal Taxonomy UI is known to break down when your vocabularies get large (e.g. over 20,000 terms). Jonathan Hunt created the [CCA Taxonomy Manager](https://github.com/catalyst/cca_taxonomy_manager) module for SFU to solve this problem.

## Field Types
Fields are where descriptive and administrative metadata about Drupal entities is stored. There are different *types* of fields including boolean, datetime, entity reference, integer, string, text, and text_with_summary. These field types also have *widgets* (controlling how data is entered) and *formatters* (controlling how data is displayed). The [Drupal 8 documentation on FieldTypes, FieldWidgets, and FieldFormatters](https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/api/entity-api/fieldtypes-fieldwidgets-and-fieldformatters) includes a list of the core field types with brief definitions, along with a list of core widgets and formatters. [Custom field types can be created](https://www.drupal.org/docs/creating-custom-modules/creating-custom-field-types-widgets-and-formatters) to represent data in ways not provided by these core options.
