Year 2010

I found starting about November of 2009, the bot stopped adding the Transwiki categories at the top. Can the bot start adding the Transwiki category for year 2010 to the words it imports this year? I just created the category and the type to add would be bracketed as: "Category:Move to Wiktionary 2010". Thanks! Goldenrowley 17:22, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

(Editing as the bot, but whatever) - The only thing I can see that would have caused this to happen would be that the categories didn't exist; the bot was adding the category to the article, and then going through and removing redlinks, so the redlinked "Move to Wiktionary" category would have disappeared then. I've switched some code around so this won't happen again, but I'll keep an eye on it during this first run. HersfoldBOT^(t) 20:36, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
