# Link Category Issue

 * Just thought I would pass this along in case it helps.
 * I created a link category called friends, and had the original “blogroll” category.
   I wanted to make “friends” my default category, so first I deleted my friends
   category (which had 7 links) expecting the links to go to the blogroll category,
   which I would then rename.
 * However, the links were deleted when I deleted the category. Now, I cannot change
   the blogroll name to “friends.” I can change it to anything else I want (I’ve
   tried “Friends2”, and “Google”), but not friends.
 * Not sure what’s wrong?

 * This is a bug which will be fixed in the next release ([http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7316](http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7316)).
   The links themselves haven’t actually been deleted (should still be on the manage
   links screen).
 * Moving them might allow you to rename the blogroll category otherwise there is
   some other issue with your tables.
