The discussion addresses an issue where a user, ruggy_joesten, cannot edit the description for the “Ask the Community” category tile, unlike other categories. Screenshots show the category appears to be missing information, making it look inconsistent.
putty explains that the tile content is sourced from an “About the [Category]” topic. Upon investigation, putty notes that the category appears to be missing this specific “About” topic entirely, which explains why the description field is unavailable in the settings. It was questioned whether the topic might be unlisted, but that alone does not account for the missing setting.
To resolve the issue or find the topic’s URL, NateDhaliwal suggests using the /c/<id>/show.json endpoint. The topic_url key in the JSON response will point to the about topic, allowing the user to locate and potentially edit it directly.
