3683	It is possible to create multiple categories with the same name and same slug	johnbillion	rob1n	"This is a trivial one, I know.

It is possible to create multiple categories with the same name and/or same slug, and doing so breaks all concerned categories.

To recreate:

1. Go to Manage -> Categories in the admin panel.

2. Create a new category.

3. Create another category with the same name and/or same slug.

4. Place some posts into these categories (so they show up on the blog) and then attempt to browse one of the categories via the blog. A 404 Not Found error is returned on all categories concerned.

=================

Desired Behaviour:

Either the user is alerted that they are attempting to create a duplicate category, or the duplicate category is created with a numerical suffix on the slug (eg. articles-2) much the same as is done with multiple blog posts that have the same titles.

IMO the first option would be preferable."	defect (bug)	closed	normal	2.3	Administration	2.1	normal	fixed	dev-feedback 2nd-opinion
