Bug ID: 64815 Summary: Modify category.py to also update Wikidata on category rename 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: maarten@mdammers.nl Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---

At the moment when a category gets renamed the bot creates a new category and moves all the contents there. This creates a lot of disconnected wikidata items. See https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Pasleim/Items_for_deletion/Category for a list.

What the bot should do: 1. Create the new category 2. Check if the old category is connected to a Wikidata item. 3. If that's the case update the sitelink to the new item 4. If the label in the language of the category is the same as the old category name, update that to the new category name 5. Start moving contents as usual
