TEST RESULTS (5 pass, 0 fail)

• Category:January 1, 2005 (diff)

As expected, sorting was added to the category Category:January 1, and the category was removed from Category:2005 and added to Category:January 2005 with correct sorting. There are no briefs, so the {{Datecategory}} was replaced by {{Datecategory nobriefs}}.

• Category:January 18, 2007 (no diff)

As expected, there were no changes to this category. There are briefs, so the template was unchanged, and the sorting and categories were already correct.

• Category:March 23, 2006 (diff)

As expected, the {{Datecategory}} was replaced with {{Datecategory nobriefs}} as there are no briefs.

• Category:June 6, 2006 (diff)

As expected, sorting was fixed for Category:June 2006, and {{Datecategory}} was replaced by {{Datecategory nobriefs}} because there are no briefs.

• Category:February 4, 2006 (diff)

As expected, sorting was fixed for Category:February 2006. The template remained the same because there are briefs.

Conclusion

In all circumstances, the bot performed its functions as expected, and without any problems.

The only functionality that remains untested on Wikinews is the ability to protect these categories older than a certain threshold (currently programmed as one month prior to today's date, but can easily be changed), which has been successfully tested on my test wiki, but was disabled when run here due to the lack of a sysop flag. If there is a consensus to protect the categories older than a certain threshold, and a consensus to allow this bot to do this, then this could be enabled, and, pending a second test to include this functionality, will be how this bot operates. Otherwise, the unprotection prior to run, and the reprotection after, would have to be done manually (unfortunately, it seems as though AWB does not support this).
