# taxonomy-{taxonomy}.php

 * I’ve successfully built a couple of sites with taxonomies but feel I’m still 
   getting it wrong.
 * I don’t understand the point referenced [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-visit-a-taxonomy-archive):
 * In a nutshell, why I can’t use taxonomy-{taxonomy}.php to list my terms
 * I still don’t understand why if I create a ‘taxonomy-therapies.php’ template 
   for instance with the registered taxonomy of therapies, why I can’t use that 
   taxonomy page to list my ‘therapies’ terms, subsequently linking on to the single.
   php and end term as a single post.
 * As it stands my structure is this:
 * Home (page.php) => Therapies (page.php) => Acupuncture (taxonomy-therapies.php)
 * Which is wrong, as I now have to create a duplicate template by styling up single.
   php to mimic ‘taxonomy-therapies.php’. Essentially I’m one template up.
 * What it should be is:
 * Home (page.php) => Therapies (taxonomy-therapies.php) => Acupuncture (single.
   php)
 * Successfully ending on single.php, no?
 * I Know I’m wrong but I don’t know why.
 * Can anyone put me out my misery?… please.
