Function overview: Add article-space categories to articles currently populated by templates

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: WP:AWB

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): WT:WPT discussion

Edit period(s): OTR

Estimated number of pages affected: about 2000

Namespace(s): Article

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: There are currently 165 templates in Category:Peru district templates that add an article-space content categories to the pages on which they are transcluded, which goes against the current paradigm of, well, not doing that. For each article in which a "Province" template from that category is transcluded, the category from both the "Province" template and the "Region" template it wraps will be added to the article.

For example, Ambo District currently calls {{Districts of Ambo Province}}, which in turn calls {{Districts of Huánuco Region}}. These two templates add Category:Districts of the Ambo province and Category:Districts of the Department of Huánuco to the article; this bot task would add those two categories directly to the page, allowing for the categories to be removed from the templates.
