First of all, thank you for report the issue.

I think I fixed that issue in this commit: [FIX: correct notification when tag or category is added (#8801) · discourse/discourse@20e7fb1 · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/20e7fb1c958790fa2dafc80bf6fe76b0556a2b92)

Basically, I improved a little bit the logic around notification

If the user has already seen the post, the type of notification should be `edited`. The case for that is when for example OP will add category or tag which is watched by another user.

However, when the user hasn’t yet seen the post, the type of notification should be “new  
reply”. The case for that is when for example topic is under private  
category and set for publishing later. In that case, we modify an  
existing topic, however, from the user perspective, it is like a new post.

Could you confirm if that is solving the mentioned issue?
