Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Daniel Barrett (djbarrett) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: category.py fails with includeonly and noinclude
Initial Comment: This is a DEADLY bug that wrecks wiki structure.
I ran "python category.py" to rename one category to another. For articles containing <includeonly> and <noinclude> statements, pywikipedia made incorrect changes. When renaming category B to category C, the text:
<includeonly>[[Category:A]]</includeonly><noinclude>[[Category:B]]</noinclude>
becomes:
<includeonly></includeonly><noinclude></noinclude> [[Category:C]]
In other words, it completely removed category A, and when renaming category B, placed the new category tag outside the noinclude tags.
This wrecked a complicated category structure.
