Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 3 Private: No Submitted By: Multichill (multichill) Assigned to: Multichill (multichill) Summary: Make commonscat.py use deletion summaries
Initial Comment: If an category at Commons gets renamed and the original category gets deleted commonscat is not able to find the new category. Commonscat should have another function which checks the deletion summary for the new category name. This deletion summary can be pulled from the api, see for example:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=logevents&l...
If a correct destination category is found, the bot should use this. This function should probably be last resort (after checking the interwiki's for a possible link).
