Continuing the discussion from [Use category slug in menus instead of category name](https://meta.discourse.org/t/use-category-slug-in-menus-instead-of-category-name/26185):
The slug for the System Administrators category is `sysadmins`. Here’s what happens if I wanna move a topic there.
So far so good:
Bummer:
Which is not consistent with our hashtag autocompletion, which does in fact appear to take the slug into account:

Is this still an active starter-task?
Apologies if this isn’t an appropriate reply. I’ve just found out about [the Outreachy programme and Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/wiki/Outreachy) - I’m really interested in them both but I feel like there’s a small mountain of setup, learning and familiarisation to do in my one weekend off before the Outreachy deadline. It would seem less intimidating if I knew there was only a small task like this waiting for me on the other side 😳

Hi Holly, welcome to the Discourse meta community!
This task is indeed still up for grabs. If you need any help during the setup & familiarisation process, search around on this forum and ask questions in #Development as needed.

Looks like we can close this now @j.jaffeux?

Hi
I am new in discourse community. I want to take this if it is still open. And if not can you please guide me to others which are in #starter-tag and are still open.
Thanks
