category_redirect.py is a Pywikibot script used to move pages out of redirected categories.

The bot will look for categories that are marked with a category redirect template, take the first parameter of the template as the target of the redirect, and move all pages and subcategories of the category there. It also changes hard redirects into soft redirects, and fixes double redirects. A log is written under <userpage>/category_redirect_log. Only category pages that haven't been edited for a certain cooldown period (7 days by default) are taken into account.

The following parameters are supported:


<translate> Parameter</translate><translate> Description</translate>
-delay:# Set an amount of days. If the category is edited more recenty than given days, ignore it. Default is 7
-tiny Only loops over Category:Wikipedia non-empty soft redirected categories and moves all images, pages and categories in redirect categories to the target category
