Krinkle set Security to None.

Note that the input field takes values both with and without a "Category:" prefix. Both work produce the expected result in the edit, but when omitting the prefix and typing the category manually, it does work as expected and the bug does not occur.

It seems we consistently normalise it in the data model, but forget it in the UI.
