Is it possible to change the post Discourse uses for the category description? Someone long ago accidentally used this post as a normal post which now shows up as the description text.

I could not find any property that marks this post as category description.

The only other solution, it seems to me, would be to create a new category, move all the topics there, and delete the old category.
