I changed the includeonly category weeks ago for this template:

About the same time I moved it to this name:

This image license template previously put images in this category:

When I changed the includeonly category it is supposed to put the images in this category:

It only seems to be working when I put the renamed template on image pages.

None of the images with the old template have been moved to the new category. I hope I don't have to manually change the template name on all the images in the old category. Is there a way around this? --Timeshifter (talk) 13:33, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

The images are now in the correct category. I hadn't checked in awhile until today, and so I don't know how long it took exactly from when I changed the includeonly category on May 18, 2014, and then changed the name of the template later the same day. See template history for May 18, 2014.
It took at least 3 weeks in any case. Note my initial post above on June 7. That was 20 days after the changes on May 18. I had checked the category since then. I don't know if this is a bug in MediaWiki or not. Maybe I will post a bugzilla thread at Mediawiki bugzilla. --Timeshifter (talk) 15:14, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
