Board Thread:Script Suggestions/@comment-3388044-20160331151326/@comment-3388044-20160404150809

@Nerfie: I tried both MediaWiki:MassRedirect/code.1.js and MediaWiki:MassRename/code.js, and neither worked.

The Category namespace is peculiar in that normal methods of renaming/moving do not work, by design. The only existing script that comes close is MediaWiki:CategoryRenameAuto-update/code.js, which, after re-categorizing each of the pages populating a category, deletes the old category page, and recreates it in the Category namespace under the new name, albeit without any of the revision history.

I would like a script that – one at a time – moves a page from the Category namespace to mainspace along with its revision history. Essentially, it would be as if it were removing the Category: prefix from the name. Since it would work on a per-page basis, it would probably make sense for it to be on the Edit menu dropdown.

Thanks! :)
