Summary: category.py breaks articles with includeonly
and noinclude
Initial Comment:
This is a DEADLY bug that wrecks wiki structure.
I ran "python category.py" to rename one category to another. For articles
containing <includeonly> and <noinclude> statements, pywikipedia made
incorrect changes. When renaming category B to category C, the text:
<includeonly>[[Category:A]]</includeonly><noinclude>[[Category:B]]</noinclude>
becomes:
<includeonly></includeonly><noinclude></noinclude>
[[Category:C]]
In other words, it completely removed category A, and when renaming category B, placed the
new category tag outside the noinclude tags.
This wrecked a complicated category structure.
