Subject: "category.py move" fails on many pages.
Original description:
In the Wikipedia of Ripuarian languages, we have tons of samples which do not work.
Here is another one:

python /home/purodha/pywikipedia/category.py move -putthrottle:51 -inplace -from:Geschichte\_Nordrhein-Westfalens -to:Noodrhing-Wäßfaale
Checked for running processes. 1 processes currently running, including the current process.
Reading dump from category.dump.bz2
Getting \[\[Saachjrupp:Geschichte Nordrhein-Westfalens\]\]...
Getting 3 pages from wikipedia:ksh...
No changes in made in page \[\[Herzogtum Geldern\]\].
No changes in made in page \[\[Herzogtum Jülich\]\].
No changes in made in page \[\[Herzogtum Kleve\]\].
Dumping to category.dump.bz2, please wait...

This is very likely due to various localized ways to write the name space name "Category:" which possibly pywikipediabot does not know about.

Following the idea that, possibly, not all ways to spell "Category" were known, I created the attached patch which seemed to solve the problem for me.
File Added: family.py.4823.diff.txt

Added first and fourth aliases in r4825. Second and third aliases don't seem to work, please check them again.

I have possibly taken them from the ksh variants which are in the pipeline but not yet committed.

I added all ksh: namespace aliases from MessagesKsh.php in r4828.

Is this bug still valid? Otherwise would close it as outdated.
