python category.py remove

It'll ask you which category you want to remove. Put in the top level cat first, so, in the case of our example, you'd enter Dogs. It'll take it from there. You may have to come back do each category individually, but it won't take long.

Of course, I should caution you that simply removing categories can be undesirable, particularly if it results in pages becoming completely uncategorised. There are very few cases where you want that to happen.

Most people generally want to change category names, which can be done, in its simplest form, like this:

python category.py move -from:"Oldname" -to:"Newname" -pt:1
