Then you can start to create batches on the <a href="https://iw.toolforge.org/quickcategories" class="extiw" title="toolforge:quickcategories">index page</a>. Enter the domain of the wiki you want to work with (en.wikipedia.org, commons.wikimedia.org, etc.) into the first input field, and the batch contents into the second one (the large, multi-line text area). When you’re done, press the “submit batch” button below the second input field. </p><p>A batch consists of a list of commands, which are specified in individual lines of the input: each line corresponds to one command. A command is a list of fields separated by vertical bar (<kbd>|</kbd>) or <kbd>Tab</kbd> characters, where the first field is the page that the command applies to and the remaining fields specify categories to be added (<code><strong>+</strong>Category:<var>Category name</var></code>) or removed (<code><strong>-</strong>Category:<var>Category name</var></code>). The page can be in any namespace, but the categories must always be specified using the English word “Category” (though the tool will use the localized name when actually adding the category, adding e. g. <code>[[Kategorie:<var>Category name</var>]]</code> on German-language wikis). </p><p>Optionally, you can specify a title for a batch, to explain what it’s doing and why. The title will be included in the <a href="/wiki/Help:Edit_summary" title="Help:Edit summary">edit summaries</a> of edits made for this batch, so [[wikilinks]] can be used, but other elements of wikitext syntax are not supported. </p><p>You can (within reason) specify any number of actions (add or remove category) for a page, and any number of commands in a batch. Categories that are already present on a page will not be added again, and categories that are not present cannot be removed either, so it’s possible that no edit will be made when running a command. You can think of it like this: a command describes a state that the page should be brought into, and if it is already in that state, there’s nothing more to do. </p><p>If you often work with the same few wikis, you can enter them on the <a href="https://iw.toolforge.org/quickcategories/preferences" class="extiw" title="toolforge:quickcategories/preferences">preferences page</a> as the “suggested wiki domains for new batches”, and they will replace the default suggestions. If you most frequently work with just one wiki, you can enter that as the “default wiki domain for new batches” and it will be the default value of the first input field on the <a href="https://iw.toolforge.org/quickcategories" class="extiw" title="toolforge:quickcategories">index page</a>. (You can still edit the value of that input field to submit batches for other wikis.) </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Sort_key_support">Sort key support</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Lucas_Werkmeister/QuickCategories&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Sort key support"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>You can also modify the <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Categories#Sort_key" class="extiw" title="mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Categories">sort key</a> of a category link, which is separated from the title by a hash (<kbd>#</kbd>) character. (MediaWiki uses the vertical bar for this, but in QuickCategories that already separates multiple fields.) Several flavors are available: </p> <dl><dt><strong>+</strong>Category:<var>Title</var><strong>#</strong><var>sort key</var></dt> <dd>If the page isn’t yet in this category at all, add a category link with that sort key, otherwise do nothing.</dd> <dt><strong>+</strong>Category:<var>Title</var><strong>##</strong><var>sort key</var></dt> <dd>If the page isn’t yet in this category, add a category link with that sort key. If it has a category link for that category without a sort key, add the sort key. If it has a category link with a different sort key, do nothing.</dd> <dt><strong>+</strong>Category:<var>Title</var><strong>###</strong><var>sort key</var></dt> <dd>If the page isn’t yet in this category, add a category link with that sort key. If it has a category link for that category, with or without sort key, set its sort key.

If you want to edit the categories of the redirect itself, you can prefix the title with an exclamation mark: <code>!A|+Category:C</code> will always edit page A. </p><p>Prior to 2020-02-16, the <code>!</code> syntax was not available, and batches would always edit the specified page even if it was a redirect. For compatibility, batches which were created prior to this date but not completely run will continue to behave this way: that is, they will display without the exclamation mark (as that is how they were specified originally), but if they are run now they will behave as if the exclamation mark was there (as that was the default behavior when they were created). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="PagePile_support"><a href="https://iw.toolforge.org/pagepile" class="extiw" title="toolforge:pagepile">PagePile</a> support</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Lucas_Werkmeister/QuickCategories&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: PagePile support"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Instead of listing all the pages in a batch each with individual commands, you can also <a href="https://iw.toolforge.org/quickcategories/batch/new/pagepile" class="extiw" title="toolforge:quickcategories/batch/new/pagepile">create a new batch from a PagePile</a> (also available as an option in the “use this pagepile in <var>one of these tools</var>” menu on an individual PagePile page). In this case, the list of actions you specify is applied to all the pages from that PagePile; the syntax is the same as for normal batches, just with the first field (the page) missing, e. g. <code>+Category:<var>Category name</var>|-Category:<var>Category name</var></code>. </p><p>Note that the pages are imported from the PagePile at batch creation time, and later changes to the PagePile will have no effect. The tool also doesn’t currently keep track of whether a batch was created from a PagePile, so you may want to mention it in the batch title. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Running_batches">Running batches</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Lucas_Werkmeister/QuickCategories&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Running batches"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>After submitting a batch, you will be redirected to the page for this batch. It has been assigned a unique ID by which you and others can review the contents of this batch, now or at any later time, by loading the same URL where you were redirected. (A link to the batch is also included in the edit summaries of any edits made as part of this batch.) The commands of the batch are listed in pages, with fifty commands per page by default; you can navigate to the previous or next page of commands (of the same batch) with the buttons at the top, or directly adjust the <var>offset</var> and <var>limit</var> parameters in the URL. </p><p>If any of the commands on the current page have not yet been run (the default state if you just submitted this batch), and you are logged in as the same user who submitted this batch, then you can use the “run these commands” button at the bottom of the page to run the commands being shown. (To run only a few commands, set a smaller <var>limit</var> in the URL.) This may take a while (the tool can run a bit over two commands per second – a full page of fifty commands takes some 22 s to run), but afterwards you should see the page in a different state: the commands should now say “done” instead of “not done”. The “done” badge is also a link to the edit if an edit was made, or otherwise to the revision of the page where the tool determined that no edit was necessary. If the batch has more pages, you may now want to proceed to the next page to run those commands as well, and so on. </p><p>You can also check your contributions on the target wiki to see what edits the tool is making (hopefully none other than the ones you specified). </p><p>Single-category additions are marked as minor edits, all other edits are considered normal (unless you have the “Mark all edits minor by default” preference set, in which case all edits by this tool are minor). The tool also sets the “bot” flag on all its edits, so if you’re a <a href="/wiki/Bot" title="Bot">bot</a>, your edits will not be shown in recent changes by default (otherwise, MediaWiki ignores the flag). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Background_runs">Background runs</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Lucas_Werkmeister/QuickCategories&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Background runs"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>If you are autoconfirmed on the target wiki, you can also run batches in the background, using the grey “run whole batch in the background” button next to the “run these commands” button. After the page reloads, you’ll see a line of text near the top of the page indicating when the background run was started, as well as a button to stop it and a link to the full history of background runs of this batch (you can start and stop the same batch running in the background multiple times). If nobody stops a background run explicitly, it will stop automatically as soon as there are no more commands to run (or when certain errors, e. g. “you are blocked from editing”, are encountered). In this case the text also indicates when the background run stopped, and the “stop” button disappears. </p><p>Running batches in the background is slightly slower, but much more convenient for you: you don’t need to run each page of commands in a long batch separately – in fact, you don’t need to do anything while the commands are running, and can even turn off your computer, e. g. while the batch is running in the background overnight. </p><p>In addition to the user who submitted a batch, background runs can also be stopped by <a href="/wiki/Administrator" title="Administrator">administrators</a> on the target wiki, as well as by <a href="/wiki/Stewards" title="Stewards">stewards</a>, to reduce the impact of vandalism via this tool. (However, only the submitting user can start background runs.) </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Generating_batches_using_the_Wikidata_query_service">Generating batches using the Wikidata query service</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Lucas_Werkmeister/QuickCategories&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Generating batches using the Wikidata query service"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>You can also use the Wikidata Query Service to generate batches.
