Web browser: --- Bug ID: 59119 Summary: logging function in category_redirect.py broken Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: General Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: russblau@hotmail.com Classification: Unclassified Mobile Platform: ---

The change "Rm change_category func from category_redirect.py" with change-id 493ea09c0f8ac31ba8453b785310e75848fc4ba4 from https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/104330/ broke the functionality that counts the number of pages moved to target categories and reports the results on the bot's "category redirect log" page. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RussBot/category_redirect_log; before this change, the log reported (for example) "Category:Irish surnames: 1 found, 1 moved", but after the change all reports are like "Category:United States History: 7 found, 0 moved". In fact, the pages are being moved, it is just the log report that is incorrect.
