This was requested at bot requests.

Please make test runs for each task. Please use edit summaries similar to Help:Gadget-HotCat and User:CommonsDelinker. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:33, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi @EugeneZelenko, I've run a trial for the recategorizing (18 edits). My bot needs filemover to do the other part; could that be given, please? Thanks! EpicPupper (talk) 21:51, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Changing categories looks OK for me. I granted file mover right to bot account for week. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:31, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

• EpicPupper, the files in 45 need to be renamed to 55 to match the match the recategorization. :) Also, can you make the small change so that the text changes from 39 to 49 like I did here. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:06, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
  • Sure Ricky81682. Do the volume 45 files also need editing? EpicPupper (talk) 00:38, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
    • EpicPupper I started and completed the files like File:San Antonio Express. (San Antonio, Tex.), Vol. 55, No. 215, Ed. 1 Monday, August 2, 1920 - DPLA - c52d78ed9de6b2bf8f61baf9a77829a6 (page 1).jpg but it got beyond tedious by hand as you can imagine. This is an extreme level of correction I'm aware but I figure it's important. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:34, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
      • Hi Ricky81682, yep, I was planning to move the volume 45 files as well, but was wondering if they needed the title parameter in the wikitext edited. Cheers, EpicPupper (talk) 01:35, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
        • EpicPupper Sorry I wasn't clear but yeah, that would help. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:56, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi EugeneZelenko, I've finished the trial (recategorization, renaming, edits). For some of the earlier edits I forgot to set an edit summary, but I did so for the later ones. Cheers, EpicPupper (talk) 01:57, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Please omit - Doing 1 replacements from description changes. It would be reasonable to move unused files without leaving redirect. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:16, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

@EpicPupper and EugeneZelenko: Please summarize what is missing here. --Krd 13:16, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

@EugeneZelenko and Krd, the edit summary was requested to be changed; I'm not sure this is possible in Cat-a-lot. I'm concerned about not leaving redirects for file moves as offwiki sites might link to the old versions, and we should try to prevent link rot as much as possible. See also "Redirects as cheap" on enwiki. EpicPupper (talk) 13:30, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Please repeat test run. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:32, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

@EugeneZelenko could you grant file mover for a month, please? Thank you. EpicPupper (talk) 00:58, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Recategorizing done. EpicPupper (talk) 01:21, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

 Done. Please also perform text replacements. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:41, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

@EpicPupper: Please report the status of this request. --Krd 09:34, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

I’ve performed multiple test runs; I don’t think it’s beneficial to do more. I would like a decision on this request. EpicPupper (talk) 20:40, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

I requested to repeat text replacements test and it's still not done. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:35, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

I'd like to clarify that I've already performed text replacement trial runs/ EpicPupper (talk) 20:15, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Last text replacement I see in bot's contribution was done March 7 and edit summary was Fixing volume number to actual number - Doing 1 replacements., so test run with fixed edit summary was not repeated. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:12, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
