Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Source code available: AWB using the regex: \[\[Category:
Function overview:Will run through Category:Uncategorized pages and untag any that now have at least one category.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s):periodically
Estimated number of pages affected:Less than 50 per run
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No):Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No):Yes
Function details:Will run through the category and skip if the page does not contain \[\[Category:
, i.e. skip any page that definitely doesn't have a category on it. Any pages it doesn't skip, it will perform AWB general fixes and tagging, which includes removing the {{Uncategorized}} tag (possibly replacing it with {{Improve categories}} in certain cases).
It will also skip the page if there is no auto-tagging taking place, this will deal with the niche scenario that it has a category but AWB won't remove the {{Uncategorized}} tag for some reason.
Example edits:[1], [2], [3], [4] and [5]

What makes every single category suitable for article being considered categorized? Furthermore, most cases will become {{cat improve}} if anything. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 16:47, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I had assumed that AWB did something clever with deciding whether to remove no cats or change it to cat improve, however after checking Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/General_fixes#Mainspace_tagger it does pretty much what my regex does... I'll withdraw the bot unless someone can correct my understanding of this? Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 11:27, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Withdrawn by operator. Mark as withdrawn then since AWB is the only option and they don't support this. Feel free to reopen if you come up with a solution. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 11:32, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
