Help is always uncategorized

[cellio]

The help page on any site shows a structure that implies that help (and policy) falls into categories:

But there is no apparent way to actually set those categories. The "edit" page for help topics has only the title and body fields (plus there were some other fields like URL slug that were only available when creating the page).

When posts were categorized by a string on the post model, help topics used it for their own categorization, and regular posts used it to differentiate between main/meta. Now categories are a reference to another table, and help topics can't use those categories for categorization... so they just don't have categories.

I think it makes sense for help to just be global to the site, not to have different help for different categories. Eventually there'll be enough help that we'll want to organize it into groupings (like "my account" vs "posting" vs whatever else). I thought that's what these "categories" were; I didn't realize they involved our actual site categories.

That is intended to be what those "categories" are, and is what they were originally, but since posts changed to referencing a category rather than it being a simple string, that wasn't possible any more. I need to look at other ways of doing the same thing - I'm not planning to split help up into those site-wide categories :)
