So hard to find that I assumed it wasn't implemented yet. Now I've seen it.

Why another icon on the top and not direct manipulation at the bottom? Show the categories at the bottom of the page and allow adding / editing / deleting from there. More or less the way HotCat got us used, if possible with a cleaner UI.

We now split this out into the page settings menu, so closing as INVALID given the evolution of the interface.
