• Before anyone asks why add Category:Male Dutch pronunciation instead of just replacing Category:Dutch pronunciation, the reason is because Category:Dutch pronunciation is in desperate need of diffuse by subject, so replacement makes no sense at this point.

  Looks OK for if bot identify voice correctly. But please make edit summaries like MediaWiki:HotCat.js.

  Just another idea. Could you use Wiktionary (or other online dictionary) to identify grammar type of word (noun, verb, etc), its meaning (number, name of plant, etc) or it's phrase? This is based on file name.

• Edit summary will be as follows: "Bot: Added Category:Male Dutch pronunciation) (Task 10)

As for identifying the grammar type of the word, I am still learning about pulling content from other websites/wikis. That would be better suited for another task/operator or myself, but later down the road. Riley Huntley (talk) 21:43, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Its more the language barrier for me than anything that'd make this difficult. Different language wiktionarys/dictionaries result in a different structure and I'd personally like to leave it to someone who speaks the native language or has the time/patience for it.

• Example contributions that I ran supervised on my main account reflect the above suggestion for a modified edit summaries. Riley Huntley (talk) 00:23, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
