Oops, I did have SMW in mind when I said that; not sure what I was thinking. And I'm surprised the parser function solution didn't come to me — that's how I usually do things when possible, since any new pages in that state even afterwards will still be added to the category.

But on really large wikis like w:c:tardis, where I've done such things, it takes quite a bit longer than a day for all the pages that use to template to catch up — which is why I enter  into pywikipediabot to get that done instantly. Pybot is useful for a lot more things than just replacing text.
