Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: interwiki.py in categories
Initial Comment: It would be helpful to add functionality to interwiki.py to work with categories and subcategories, not just with articles contained within, i.e. to treat category pages as they were normal articles. Additional key to existing -cat option or whatever, please.

Hello,
I do not know if this was the original question, but there is still something I cannot do with subcategories.
Consider: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:France
The Category:France has 21 subcategories and 2 pages in it.
python interwiki.py Category:France will work on the category itself.
python interwiki.py -cat:France will work on the two pages France and Portal:France
How do I work on the 21 subcategories (i.e. category:Communications in France, etc.)?
Regards,
Marc-Etienne

You can already work on categories interwiki. For example : python interwiki.py -start:Category:Spain
