I’m not sure that this is high priority since you can still successfully edit from within the actual category, but, in any case, it appears that the edit buttons fail to do anything when tapped on the mobile categories page:

@awesomerobot is this related to recent changes you made?

Do we need this button here? You _usually_ have to enter the category to edit it, so mobile is behaving a bit oddly here. I say we remove it.

I don’t think so — my only change there was adding a class. I just reverted that file locally and the button still doesn’t work.

I’m getting this error on click

```plaintext
Error: Assertion Failed: <(unknown mixin):ember997> had no action handler for: editCategory

```

This button _is_ inconsistent here, so I’m in favor of just removing it anyway. None of the other category list pages have one.

Agree, can you go ahead and remove it?

Buttons are removed from the mobile category list.
