Just a question on this, are you referring to different documentation then what is defined at [Discourse API Docs](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Posts/paths/~1posts~1%7Bid%7D.json/put) ? That would be interesting… however I am only going by the API docs.

My simple goal is to simply add a comment + link below the category name, which I think Discourse takes from the first Post of the "About … " topic? Like I’m just looking for what it will insert into the

… element or what I need to do to make my post appear there. Does my explanation make sense?
