Duplicate Categories?

Duplicate Categories?
Hello!

If by mistake one has duplicate categories, then there is no check anywhere.

So as claimed for large directories, how does one go about if one has 10,000 categories?

The click on "list all" would cost at leat $100 of the phone bills + the cost of a person!!!

Also, I found out the duplicate and then emptied it.

The links were associated to the same name but a different ID!!! So now it does not recognize it anymore.

What happenes when one has 1000 links and a similar situation arises?

Therefore to get that CategoryID back, how do I create that CategoryID in MySQL, for e.g. the real one between 20 and 22? Currently it is related to the MySQL ID = Category ID? Any answer?

There is no built in check for duplicate category names. If you have links that are not in a valid category, click on Fix links and you can move them to an existing category or delete them easily.

Cheers,
