Hi folks,
I committed a small extension to category.py. When moving categories, with
-hist it creates a wikitable to the talk page of the new category that
lists the edit history of the old category to be deleted.
See the example at
http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kateg%C3%B3riavita:Akci%C3%B3j%C3%A1t%C3%A9kok
(The table is from getVersionHistoryTable() just as is.)
It is good for respecting the copyrights and is in some way similar what we
do when moving a page from Wikipedia to a sister project without proper
export-import. And it is more verbose than just listing authors in edit
comment.
This behaviour needs now the explicite command line parameter -hist because
I would like to hear your opinions. If you agree, the extra parameter could
be removed and this behaviour made default.
(Unfortunately, I am not familiar with i18n support yet, so this has an
old-style translation dict at the moment. I will transform it later.)
