Bug ID: 65115 Summary: Update category.py to use action=move to move category description pages Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: category.py Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: legoktm.wikipedia@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---
With the resolution of bug 5451, we can now use ?action=move to move the category description page rather than copying it manually and attributing the editors in the history.
We can check if the user has the 'move-categorypages' right, and if not fallback on the old functionality (which will work for older wikis).
