* **Slug** The URL-friendly version of the name. Typically lowercase and uses hyphens (`-`) instead of spaces. Example: `jazz-music`
* **Parent Category** Categories can be hierarchical. For example, a category "Jazz" can have child categories like "Bebop" and "Big Band". *(Optional)*
* **Description** A short explanation of the category. While not shown by default on most themes, some themes may display it.

* Use the checkboxes and **Bulk Action** dropdown to:
