Null edit BookCat
I hope that by doing this it will fix some of the mistakes I made. 20:31, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hm. It's a bold approach to the problem.  I see two likely technical difficulties (beyond the admitted reality that it'd be a fairly high-server-load operation; such things are to be minimized, that doesn't mean they're prohibited).  Difficulty one, I don't think the wiki software updates transcluding pages for a mere null edit; I think it'd have to be a substantial edit, to force update of transcluding pages.  Difficulty two, it would only work on pages that depend on BookCat (and only on BookCat) for their categorization, in an altogether prosaic way.  I've observed there are a lot of pages out there, all together, that do customized things that call for customized adjustments for the new naming scheme.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 22:19, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * In that case I will go ahead with my null-edit every page I moved edit. 20:16, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
