Bug ID: 68694 Summary: category add breaks when adding category to redirect Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: Unprioritized Component: category.py Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: jayvdb@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---

(bug report extracted from https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/149638)

category.py AddCategory attempts to find the redirect target in exception IsRedirectPage.args[0]

IsRedirectError stopped having args[0] in March 2009 for core, when Exception.__init__ was overriden, and in early 2010 for compat when the core class was copied to compat https://git.wikimedia.org/blobdiff/pywikibot%2Fcore.git/c471da5bfbfc12898c28... http://git.wikimedia.org/commit/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/94ee284da270e0760b5e0...

I couldnt see any other use of 'args[0]' in core or compat that is the same bug.
