I am investigating the possibility of including the category in the topic URL for retargeting purposes.

For example: `https://meta.discourse.org/t/support/where-can-i-create-tags/31094` or `https://meta.discourse.org/support/t/where-can-i-create-tags/31094`

From previous responses on this subject, it seems as though this will wreck havoc on the routing system, correct?

What about the possibility of including the category in query string? `https://meta.discourse.org/t/where-can-i-create-tags/31094/?category=support`

Thoughts, suggestions, answers?
