 Both categories and tags (terms) can have "description" texts.
 Unfortunately, right now, the interface of WordPress does not allow making
 that description more than just a few strings, as terms currently only
 have a text input field.

 Yoast SEO turns those input fields into rich text fields (and has done
 this for a long time already). See the attached screenshots for the
 difference.

 I think we should make this the default behavior. People should be able to
 write term descriptions that have links and images, at the very least, as
 this would make these pages better for everyone.
