Summary: category.py move ignores noinclude, includeonly
Initial Comment:
When running "python category.py move", if the old category is enclosed in
<noinclude> or <includeonly> tags, the new, replaced category is not, which is
a problem. For example, this construction:
<includeonly>[[Category:Foo]]</includeonly>
when operated on by:
python category.py move -from:"Foo" -to:"Bar"
produces:
<includeonly></includeonly>
[[Category:Bar]]
which is wrong.
This bug has existed for a long time, at least a few years.

Here is an even worse example. Just like in the previous example, create
"Template:Pywikipedia test", but this time, make its contents:
Hello.<noinclude>[[Category:AABBCC]]</noinclude><includeonly>[[Category:EE]]</includeonly>
Again, make the article "Test" contain:
{{pywikipedia test}}
Now run:
$ python category.py move -from:"AABBCC" -to:"DD"
In this case, "Template:Pywikipedia test" gets modified completely wrong
to become:
Hello.<noinclude></noinclude><includeonly>
</includeonly>
[[Category:DD]]
So the category tag for "EE" vanishes completely, and "DD" gets moved
outside of the "noinclude" tags.
Piwikipedia's output for this command was:
$ python category.py move -from:"AABBCC" -to:"DD"
Target page Category:DD already exists!
Getting [[Category:AABBCC]]...

Yes, it's related to templates. Here is a test case.
1. Create "Template:Pywikipedia test" containing:
Hello.<includeonly>[[Category:AABBCC]]</includeonly>
2. Create an article "test" containing:
{{pywikipedia test}}
3. Run:
$ python category.py move -from:"AABBCC" -to:"DD"
The output shows that Pywikipedia gets confused and can't modify the
category tag inside the template:
Target page Category:DD already exists!
Getting [[Category:AABBCC]]...
Getting 1 pages from vistawiki:en...
ERROR: [[Test]] is not in category Category:AABBCC!
Getting [[Category:AABBCC]]...

This bug is destructive to wiki articles. Any chance it will be addressed
soon? Thanks.
