Hey all, just noticed today that we can no longer do the following for restricted categories:

Wrench > Pin Topic > Make Banner Topic

How is everyone else managing their templates for banners they reuse?

I’m not understanding why we would want the information used in banners floating around cluttering up public categories, but maybe I’m missing something.

I would love to hear everyone else’s workflow.
