I had several discourse instances running and on some of them I can write #category and get the category link but on some instances it doesn’t work the same. Is there some setting to turn on in order to be able to #categoryname?

It should work for all without needing a further setting tweak. I think using the autocomplete must be done in the middle of a line rather than at the start, but manually typing the category name at the start of a line should still **bold** and link it.
Can you give me a more specific example of one that’s not doing what it’s supposed to?
