Situation
WikiProject History of photography is migrating to WikiProject Photography and in doing so a number of task forces with sub-topics have been created. Articles currently have no task force tags in the WikiProject banners so are all in the main WikiProject Photography.

Proposal
To use article category assignment to identify which task force should be added to the WikiProject banner.

pre-requisites

 * 1) talk pages with duplicate WikiProject History of photography and WikiProject Photography to be addresses so only one banner.
 * 2) agreement from WikiProject participants on naming and organisation of task-forces.
 * 3) redirect of WikiProject History of photography to WikiProject Photography.

Specification
Use AWB automatic bot user in bot mode to


 * Go through article talk pages of articles of:-
 * categories under Category:photographers, Category:cameras and similar categories
 * If article talk page is also in Category:WikiProject Photography (contains WikiProject Photography or associated redirected banner)
 * replace redirect banners name with WikiProject Photography (keeping other parameters as is)
 * add appropriate task force parameter

Method of identifying articles
Go through each sub-category of say... Photogrphers. Then for each subcategory fill a list from that category, remove non mainspace, convert to talk pages, then save that list as a text file. Then fill a list from Category:Wikipedia Photography. Then select "filter", uncheck all the check boxes (except remove duplicate and sort alphabetically), then in the set operations group box, select intersection, open file, navigate to the saved list, press apply.
