  Tonight I was doing some messing around with link categories on my Blog, and in an attempt to put an image on a link category, I replaced the name with the <IMG SRC> tag for the image. It looks like something on the WordPress backend strips out tags in places where they shouldn’t be, and the result was a link caegory with no name. Since you’re supposed to click the name of the category to edit it, there was no link to edit this on the page, and as a result I ended up with a category that I can’t do anything with except delete it.

  I was able to work around this by creating a new link category and moving the links from into that, but I thought I might report it as a bug just in case. Ideally, this should either work, or fail out in a useful manner.

  Repro steps:

  1. Create a link category
  2. use an IMG tag for the name
  3. Save the category
