Nice snippet!

Worth mentioning for anyone wanting to use this, the code assumes you're inside a Class. If you're not, then 2 small changes:

add_action('admin_menu', [$this, 'promoteCategories']);

changes to

add_action('admin_menu', 'promoteCategories');

and then

public function promoteCategories()

changes to

function promoteCategories()
