Description

Two problems here.

It is possible to create category with empty title
Once there is a duplicate title - the error message is not very user friendly

Acceptance criteria:

Categories with empty should not be allowed
Display user friendly message when category with same title already exists e.g. "category with this title already exists"

Info:

Version 3.5
