Say you have a #mediawiki with a lot of uncategorized pages.

How can you batch add/edit categories without going page by page?

Playing around with cat-a-lot, but it seems not possible to use it on Special:AllPages.
pywikibot? :P
haha, if you tell me how, I'll try!
Is the "quick start guide" helpful? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Third-party_Wiki_Quick_Start

There's a category.py so if you have a list of titles to work with it most of the work is done. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/category.py

If you don't have a list of titles and you prefer a GUI with checkboxes, perhaps ReplaceText can do the job. You just need to be careful with regular expressions as it can be quite disruptive! https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Replace_Text
thanks so much!

I sadly have to be honest with myself, that I should probably just do it all manually, once, and afterwards most new pages will be given categories as they are written 🤷 it is only about 100... https://wiki.kanthaus.online/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=0&hideredirects=1
Ah yes... probably a browser extension to open all links in tabs would help more. :)
