A **category definition** topic: [Stripe integration - Magento 2](https://mage2.pro/t/980)  
I see at the bottom:

> Tracking  
> You will receive notifications because you posted a reply to this topic.

Another ( **ordinary** ) topic in the same category: [[Stripe] The test bank cards - Magento 2](https://mage2.pro/t/900)  
I see an the bottom:

> Watching  
> You will receive notifications because you created this topic.

**Both these topics are created by me**. I have not changed its notification levels.  
Why the notification level is «`Tracking`» for the first topic (a category definition topic) and «`Watching`» for the second one (an ordinary topic)? Should not it be «`Watching`» for the first topic?
