Hey guys!

I know this:

> [@How to create a description for your category?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-create-a-description-for-your-category/208995/3):
>
> When you create a category there is a topic that is auto created entitled something like “About the category-name category”. You can edit the contents of that post and your category description will be added.

But, what happens if I delete that topic and want to set a different description? Not sure how to do that.

Thanks
