That’s my point tho James 😜

Cat 1 [https://meta.discourse.org/c/ux](https://meta.discourse.org/c/ux)  
Cat 2 [https://meta.discourse.org/c/plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/c/plugin)

One lists categories including own category, the other does not.

If one has sub categories then we only need to see those - just like tags - we only see tags when a topic has them.
