"python category.py move -from:x -to:y" is a simple and common operation from the user perspective, performed by the script category.py. Under the covers, quite a bit of integration occurs in order to make this seemingly simple operation work correctly.
As it has been broken a few times in the past, it would be good to build a test case which preps the test wiki, runs the script to perform the move, and then check the script performed the task correctly.

In particular, test what happens when the category tag is inside <noinclude>, <includeonly>, and <onlyinclude> tags. In some versions of Piwikibot, the tag gets pulled outside, e.g.,
<noinclude>[[Category:Old]] foo bar</noinclude>
gets turned into:
<noinclude>foo bar</noinclude>
[[Category:New]]
