Do you know what version of Discourse your site is using? If your site is self-hosted, you can find the version near the top of the site’s admin dashboard. The reason I am asking is because I think Discourse should have prevented you from adding the parent category. When I try to do it, I get the following error:

 ![errormsg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/a/1/d/a1db8dc13b22a0c172a97777bc9a877bf79062e4.png)

It is possible that you are running into a bug that has been fixed in a more recent version of Discourse. It is also possible that I am not reproducing the issue correctly.
