Forum:Is there an extension for mass categorizing pages?

I'm interested in knowing if theres any .js modification/button/mediawiki extension/function that can be added/used/employed/requested to mass categorize pages with the Special:PrefixIndex page or any other method. It's somewhat a pain to have to go through each page individually and re-categorize or add categories to them when the title implicitly can be used categorized easily with a few checkboxes and an add category word. vegeance 12:26, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

There are no wikia fucntions I'm aware of, but I'm a Wikia novice compared to the likes of others on the forum. You could do it with a bot though.


 * A semi-automated editing program, such as AutoWikiBrowser, or a bot (a fully automated script), such as Pywikipedia, are the most common methods to make this kind of task easier. (Instructions for their use can be found in the links.) Other methods are technically possible but probably aren't worth the time to write up, or are less effective.

 * JavaScript is a page resource, not a server resource. You can only use it to change the contents of the page you're looking at. You need a bot for this.
 * Autowikibrowser would be perfect for this task, you can prepend the category with that. See Help:Bots for information on how to get a bot flag  Random Time  14:10, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
