> [@SgtIria](#): > > Why clutter sections with dates for example? Or pages with paginate\_path? As soon as sections have a content that can be written and read, there is a reason for them to have a ‘date’ and ‘updated’ attribute. I would like my readers to know how up to date they can expect the section content to be. Right now, I’m putting things like the list of authors or the date in the “extra” entry and I observe that my section and pages share so much templates elements that merging the two will help a lot. I was just wondering if simplifying the concept will help in terms of software design. But apparently, the cost of having an unused ‘paginate\_path’ in pages that are not sections (i.e pages without subpages) is too high. > [@SgtIria](#): > > If you think sections should have taxonomies you should request it In this case I will request sections to have date and taxonomies 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://zola.discourse.group/t/section-vs-page/522)._
