For categories with required tags, it says tags are optional. This is also leading to some moderators posting items without tags as I guess it’s set so they can ignore the setting?

It appears all mods get “reorder categories” rights? Any way to restrict that to admin only? It’s very confusing where the option is placed, as it appears as as if it’s a personal setting, not a site-wide setting. --- ## [Permalink management](https://meta.discourse.org/t/permalink-management/114815)

It’d be really great if the permalink management section had the option for free text searching to find the category/topic ID.
