[Pywikipedia-l] Can the bot follow a redirect?

I want to add a certain category ([[Category:Wiki Green
pages]]<http://www.appropedia.org/Category:Wiki_Green_pages>)
to a list of pages. The problem is, the list is old and many of them have
been moved since then.

Is there a way I can make the bot detect a redirect, follow it, then add the
category on the new page? Or at least some easier way than looking each page
up separately and adding the category?

Many thanks!
