Subject: Change edit description of commonscat.py
Original description:
When commonscat.py adds a template it uses a description like "Robot: Adding \{\{Commons category|Disney people\}\}" http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Disney\_people&diff=prev&oldid=476813979

The summary is not wrong but sometimes the bot adds a wrong link because someone has added a wrong link on another wiki. When that happens you have to check all interwiki links manually to find out where the error is.

To make it easier to find the wrong link it would be nice if the summary could be changed to tell where the link was found like "Robot: Adding \{\{Commons category|Disney people\}\} - from xx wiki". If possible the bot should list all wikis that has the same wrong link "... - from xx, yy, zz ... wiki".

\*\*\*\* If needed:
C:\Pywikipedia>version.py
Pywikipedia \[http\] trunk/pywikipedia \(r9900, 2012/02/16, 20:41:18\)
Python 2.7.1 \(r271:86832, Nov 27 2010, 17:19:03\) \[MSC v.1500 64 bit \(AMD64\)\]
