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: General Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: redirect.py sometimes categorizes double redirects

Initial Comment: version: Pywikipedia (r8725 (wikipedia.py) 2010/11/15, 08:44:06) Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Nov 27 2010, 18:30:46) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] config-settings: use_api = True use_api_login = True

In class RedirectRobot, for fixing Special:DoubleRedirects please include capability to detect if the final target page is in the Category namespace (ns:14) and in the case that it returns true append a colon before replacing the appropriate target to avoid categorizing the redirect itself.

E.g.:

...

...

Foo <<<

Links to: [[Bar]]. Links to: [[Category:Foobar]]. - #REDIRECT [[Bar]] + #REDIRECT [[:Category:Foobar]] ^(and here is the extra colon)

Otherwise, [[Foo]] would be categorized in [[Category:Foobar]], which is not desirable.
