I’m afraid that I’ve found another little issue with this.
Currently in Category descriptions, all # related things (tags, chats, categories) correctly create a suitable link, but appear as unexciting monochrome boxes - exactly as they used to in Posts.
In the topic that generates the descriptions:
In the Category description itself:

This is still an issue, and it doesn’t look great.
It is helpful to have tags, chat, and category links in category descriptions as they are super useful for navigating to those parts of the site that have a special relationship to the category.
I can’t believe that I’m the only one using them that way!
