...some solution using additional javascript found... has to be activated on a per user basis, thus implemented now.

It does not look like there is somebody out there knowing how the template has to be used with the category parameter, since this is rarely done...

At the moment the bot adds e.g.

{{Check categories|year=2012|month=July|day=16|category=[[Category:Categorized by DrTrigonBot]]}}

and when clicking onto "Check them now!" this template/line is removed but all categories present (some of them added by bot before) are kept untouched, [[Category:Categorized by DrTrigonBot]] too.

How to configure HotCat to remove a specific category, when used on a image description page the bot edited, is not obvious to me - may be not possible at all...

To summarize: the state here is still the same "not working" BUT it is an open question whether "not working" is an appropriate description since it might be possible that the template works perfectly well and I just missunderstood its function and effects.
