If you have a set of taxonomy terms for, say, project types and one of the projects shuts down (but there are still nodes associated with the project), is it possible to disable or "turn off" its taxonomy term, so in the future people can't use it? How would one do this?

Thanks in advance.

no, but you could create an abandoned taxonomy or whatever and move the term to it.

Thanks.

So one would then need some way to prevent the display of the abandoned term(s) to users so when they create new content they don't select it.

I see, if this is the case, why not delete the term?

or you will have to investigate a taxonomy access module like TAC or TAClite.

Unless I'm missing it in Drupal 7 at least I'm not seeing a way to move a term into a different vocabulary.

Your issue has basically nothing to do with the original topic, but the Taxonomy manager module does support this functionality, among others. Hope that helps. :-)

See you at the Drupalcon!

How can I use taxonomy manager to move the term to another vocabulary?I only see that its possible to move the term to the same vocabulary.
thanks

I also need to turn off taxonomy terms. Is there a way to do this in Drupal 7? In my case, the taxonomy term only applies to articles written in specific months of the year and I'd like to turn off the term during the months that the term does not apply and turn the term back on when they do apply. For examples, I'd only want Christmas related articles to be available during the months of November and December each year.

Although I think I might have investigated generating multiple vocabularies

my requirement is similar but i need some of the taxonomy terms visible in "disabled state" in the tree view.User should select the SubMost term always,so all the parent terms should be disabled.
That means in the tree view some terms are enabled(can be selected by users) and some terms should NOT be selectable(but visible as disabled like "input type='text' disabled")
Is there any module for this requirement?
