 * In the past I have been able to define categories with commas in the category.
   For example, a category “France, 2016” would work fine.
 * Now when I try to define a similar category, it breaks into two categories so
   the above would break into “France” and “2016”.
 * What gives? Has something changed or am I doing something wrong?

 * That is very interesting. However, I wasn’t able to replicate the issue. When
   I added the category `Space, 2015` it worked fine and made the slug `space-2015`.
   Are you using the latest version of WordPress? Are you certain you’re not adding
   tags?
