11510,Multiple Categories / Slugs,Alkorr,filosofo,"Hi, I posted many messages for more than a year of the forums (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/229543?replies=13 and http://wordpress.org/support/topic/340552?replies=9) concerning category management. It appears WP 2.9 doesn't fix the bug which has been reported on several tickets:

Sub categories automatically append a dash followed by the name of the parent
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10712

Child categories error out as duplicates even if slugs and parent categories are different
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9335

I still can't create duplicate categories/slugs and I don't want to hack Wordpress core files, which is the solution provided on ticket #9335...

It's a major issue when you use Wordpress as a CMS and there are a lot of comments and messages about it. Wordpress is the best blog platform but this bug is ruining any attempt to use it as a real CMS.

What can I do if I want to work with these categories:
