More information:

• The program is this one:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import sys
sys.path.append('C:\pywikipedia')
import wikipedia,catlib
import re

# El programa comença aquí.
lloc=u"Images from Wiki Loves Public Art 2013 in an unknown country"
sitecommons=wikipedia.getSite('commons','commons')
l=catlib.Category(sitecommons,lloc).articlesList(recurse=False)
#l=l[:2]
for page in l:
    text=page.get()
    if u"{{Wiki Loves Public Art 2013|ct-es}}" in text:
        text=text.replace(u"{{Wiki Loves Public Art 2013|ct-es}}",u"{{Wiki Loves Public Art 2013|es-ct}}")
        text=text.replace(u"[[Category:Public art in Sant Martí, Barcelona]]",u"")
        page.put(text,u"Bot fixing template in own images")
wikipedia.stopme()

• I'm running a 108 edits test. I hope I won't need to run the program again after the test ends, but I could make the same mistake again and need the bot to fix it.
• I suggest amending the bot policy not to waste bureaucrat's time in such a meaningless request, which under current policy is mandatory.--Pere prlpz (talk) 23:17, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

  Looks OK for me. For one time requests you could ask other bot owner to perform a job. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:19, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

  Another bot owner would have needed to ask permission for this particular job. I'm a bot owner, with permission to do another job. Then, asking anybody else wouldn't have made it easier. It would have just meant spending the time of one person more.--Pere prlpz (talk) 14:43, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
