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.
