In the categories listing it can be seen

```auto
Core Development
Discussions relating to the development of Python
 (usage of Python should be discussed in the #users
 category, new ideas for Python to #ideas).

```

but no `#users` category is visible?

Edited: Aha. When posting without pre formating `#users` is rendered as #Python Help.

Maybe then something can be done in the caption of Core Development so it reads Python help?

`Users` got renamed to `Python Help` last year to clarify the category’s use, but internally Discourse still calls it `users`, including in the `#` links.

See this post, and the broader discussion in that thread: [Reconsider the "Users" category? - #94 by brettcannon](https://discuss.python.org/t/reconsider-the-users-category/3365/94)

Thanks for the info.

For the record, now the caption shows the `help category`

I guess that the pinned post was written and rendered at a time when Discourse didn’t yet use the current formatting for category names.

I see that @brettcannon added a space on [About the Core Development category](https://discuss.python.org/t/about-the-core-development-category/3628) to retrigger rendering and it worked. Thanks!
