Missing space after the new category name (Human_Interestsin). Possible misinterpretation or confusion for the admin regarding the configuration changes. Ex: In the log you see "/Common/Human_Interestsin allowed categories of url filter /Common/Limited_URL_Filters." as category the actual name suppose to be Human_Interests and after the space log suppose to be "/Common/Human_Interests in allowed categories of url filter /Common/Limited_URL_Filters."
