It’s really great that it’s possible to include specific categories in the to menu (like “Bugs” and “Features” here on Meta). However, it took me a while to figure out how to do it. I played around with the top menu settings but neither the examples in the help text nor the provided suggestions when typing hinted at the correct format (`category/<category_name>`). How about adding this to the help text?
