Can't resist.

Couldn't someone write an extension or something similar that would let a sysop rename a category using ajax?

Elaboration:

  1. get the category members from the api
  2. for each, retrieve the wikitext, switch the old category name for new, get edittoken, save page
  3. mark all the edits as bot, or if you wanted to get fancy, make a new log for it

Yeah, I saw. Sorry to hear it, and sympathise with a lot of what you said about the place.
