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:
> 
(the words are different as I’d already edited them to work around it)

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!

In group descriptions as well, does the category box appear grey, not its actual color.

Currently, the alignment of the less than ideal grey category icons is also out:

I wonder if this is a (small) regression due to the recent category icon changes.

This is still a problem.
And, much to my ironic pleasure, it is very obvious in this Category:

@manuel I believe this has been fixed in the base theme, Foundation & Horizon are fine afaict, but meta-branded isn’t yet – presumably because it’s using a block outlet to render the category banner?
Could you take a look or pass it on to the interrupt dev maybe?

Yes, we use a custom component on the theme.
#fixed now 😉 Thanks for the report @nathank
