Description DavidL 2011-11-08 15:38:13 UTC 
Currently categories cannot be renamed. The only possible action is to delete it, create another one (loosing history), and move all pages to the new category.

There should be a rename action for categories (like renaming pages) which should also updates all pages in the category, without loosing the category history.
Comment 1 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2011-11-08 15:40:07 UTC 
We can not do this until we get the category informations out of the wikitext :-(
Comment 2 Liangent 2011-11-08 15:42:16 UTC 
Can we have "moving category page only" (without its members) so editing history can be preserved.
Comment 3 DavidL 2011-11-08 16:00:40 UTC 
"moving category page only" feature would be great to have.
For page update, we may have to use a bot.
