(Script author here) not sure thats needed, since it shouldn't have much use by editors now that a bot handles most of the edits needed. Suggest declining

Wow, okay; I am stumbling upon drafts in article categories all the time. When did the bot start working?

A while ago. Maybe the bot isn't working? Ill check

@DannyS712 Any update? Maybe the bot has just not finished all the drafts yet?

The bot runs every few hours, and it should be doing all of the drafts, but I haven't had a chance to investigate yet

Could you please tell me its username, at least?

DannyS712 bot not very original :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=incategory%3A"Living+people"&ns2=1 returns over 100 results; maybe some pages aren't recognised as needing decategorisation?

Not sure, but that discussion doesn't need to take place here. I'll look into it

Thanks. I guess this request can be closed then. Do you think adding "Draft re cat" to XTools would be more useful?

Now the tool is used by other editors as well, see at least these 554 edits done with it by @BrownHairedGirl.

Here, even more by @UnitedStatesian. I think it does make sense to add the tool.

I think it'd make most sense to have this done through software, if possible. See T299286.

For now, since the tool has been used for quite a while, apparently by over 100 editors (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/User:DannyS712/Draft_no_cat.js&limit=250), and since the linked task doesn't clearly formulate what is to be implemented, I have added this to the configuration.
