I’ve enabled uncategorized topics on my forum but can’t add it in the sidebar 🤔

I can add Uncategorized through the `default navigation menu categories` site setting but I can’t add or remove it directly from the sidebar, even as an admin.

However, I can add and remove it as a user by doing a manual `PUT` request to `/u/myusername.json` with `sidebar_category_ids[]: 1` in the payload.
