Include “Pharmacy” in the Catagory Section while adding missing place

[#1]

I have been adding many new places especially related to healthcare facilities but unfortunately there is no word “Pharmacy” available in the business category section. 

I have been having the same issue both on android and ios. 

Please check and try to fix.

Thanks

Hello @Abrar-Dawar, the category Pharmacy is available as far as I can see. Perhaps this post can be of interest to you:

There is the word “Pharmacy” but comes along with other specificities like, Organic Pharmacy” , “Faculty of Pharmacy” , “Homeopathic Pharmacy” and Veterinary Pharmacy. 

While these are all specific not related to general Pharmacy. There should be a catagory “Pharmacy” only too.

Sorry @Abrar-Dawar to have sent you a 'for beginners' link - but a bunch of people have really faced the issue described in it (including myself).

In the meantime, I have dug a little deeper and there is indeed something quite strange: the catergory is definitely there (a lot of POIs correctly have it) but it is not possible to use it to categorize new POIs... when you are working in the English interface. However, if you switch to another language (easy to do in the desktop version, not so easy on mobile) the category is there! Obviously I have not been able to test this in all languages, but I can assure you it works in French (pharmacie), German (Apotheke), Spanish (farmacia) and Dutch (apotheek). So, if you know another language well enough, try switching the interface to it.

This is the first time I come across this problem in this way - usually categories are available in English, but not in other languages.
