They aren't moveable but you can re-direct them. So to move CATEGORY 1 to CATEGORY 2, just change to the code on the CATEGORY 1 page to:

#REDIRECT [[category:CATEGORY 2]]

What is a page that you are trying to move? I'll show you.

<Country> Produced/Filmed should actually be just <Country> Produced. Having the "Filmed" in the name makes people believe that it's the filming location.

CRAP. I was wrong. It didnt work and when I looked it up on Media wiki I found this:

Unlike other wiki pages, it is not possible to rename (move) a category. It is necessary to create a new category and change the Category tag on every page. The new category will not have the older category's page history, which is undesirable if there are many revisions.

Sorry man. Looks like this WILL have to be done the hard way...

I'm still not sure where to look for these things. V for Vendetta‎, German production? IMDb lists Fünfte Babelsberg Film as a production company, and it looks like they also had a hand in Ninja Assassin, but that film isn't listed as a German production. Little help?

One thing that I wanted to mention after the whole issue of having to change the categories. There is another way we could do the Categories... Via the use of a template...

So for example we could have an assault rifle template that consist of:

[[Category:Gun]]
[[Category:Rifle]]
[[Category:Assault Rifle]]

That way all you would have to do is add {{Assault Rifle}} to the bottom of the page...

It would also mean that if you ever decided to change the name of the category, you would only have to change the template.

Just a thought...

Has this been finished already? If not I found an extension that could fix the issue...
