For these step:

- A post is waiting for approval
- Remove the topic of the post
- Then the post in queue will have:“new post in [missing %{title} value]” as the notification.

Maybe the notification should be new post in a deleted topic？

- Also, for category moderators, the topic title for the post in the review queue will be empty (for staff, it is alright), which make finding the original topic difficult.

[staff]

[category moderator]

Seems that under this circumstance, staffs will get the full topic object even if the topic is deleted, while category moderators will only get an empty topic object with `deleted_topic_id`, and in ember template, since waiting for approval is a `has-block` object, it doesn’t fell in `topic_deleted` category, while rendered an empty template.

```gjs
    {{else if (has-block)}}
      {{yield}}
    {{else}}
      <span class="title-text">
        {{i18n "review.topics.deleted"}}
        <LinkTo
          @route="topic"
          @models={{array "-" @reviewable.removed_topic_id}}
        >{{i18n "review.topics.original"}}</LinkTo>
      </span>
    {{/if}}

```
