Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic
Programming Language(s): Python
Function Summary: Move pages from redirected categories to correct categories
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Once a week, at first
Edit rate requested: 6 edits per minute
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y
Function Details: The bot will identify all category pages that have {{
category redirect}} transcluded onto them (source categories). It will determine the target category identified in the template parameter (target category). It will then try to move all pages from the source category to the target category, using the existing
Pywikipedia bot category.py

Looks like there's a bot that does this already, but seems . . . broken at the moment. Might shoot them a message first. Q T C 18:42, 31 August 2007 (UTC) reply
Approved for trial (50 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. Go ahead and give it a trial run so we can how it edits. Having two bots doing the same task is helpful, if one goes down the other still goes. ~

I'm surprised Pywikipediabot did this. Do you have the latest version? If not, please upgrade. The bot should not be modifying anything but categories, especially not perfectly valid HTML entities. — madman bum and angel 15:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC) reply
