In our forum, there is a public category for organizational questions, and an internal one:

Of course, choosing the right one is crucial. Unfortunately, after making you choice, there is no visible difference. This is how both cases look like:

I’d like to see at least a lock icon there, probably also the supercategory, as in the popup.

I think that this use case is quite common.

Not really, there haven’t been too many occasions where a top-level and a subcategory had the same name.

What if you renamed it to “Organisation Intern”?

That’s what I have done for now. But in the topic listing, this now shows 🔒 _Intern_ 🔒 _Organisation Intern_, which doesn’t look too good.

I’d think that you run into this whenever you have something where both the public and your staff want to discuss – like organizational questions.
