Comment (by joyously):

 I think the list of categories should only list each category once.
 Showing the default category in the list at the top of each page is
 confusing and not helpful (the user doesn't need to edit it, just might
 want to know), because the list is sortable. If I saw the same one on
 every page I would wonder why I have so many with the same name.

 So if the list really needs to show which one is default, I prefer
 indicating it outside the list itself. But the consideration is that the
 default does not have a Delete action, and using a label "-- Default" on
 the term helps to explain why there is no Delete action.
