Description

Applied to the "description" field categories by the category_description and wp_list_categories functions. Filter function arguments: description, category ID when called from category_description; description, category information array (all fields from the category table for that particular category) when called from wp_list_categories (sorry, but that's how it is).

This description was scraped automatically from the WordPress filter reference  or action reference . If it looks like this is the wrong description, please tell me so I can fix my code.
