    page = pywikibot.Page(site, page_title)

    # Check if the page exists

    if not page.exists():

        print(f"Page '{page_title}' does not exist.")

        return

    # Check if the page already has the category

    if category in page.categories():

        print(f"Page '{page_title}' already has the category '{category}'.")

        return

    # Add the category to the page

    page.text += f"\n[[വർഗ്ഗം:{category}]]"

    page.save(f"കാറ്റഗറി ചേർക്കുന്നു '{category}' ")

def main():

    articles = [

"ദരൂഷ്_മെഹ്‌റൂജി"

    ]

if __name__ == "__main__":

    main()

Run the python file.

NB: Note, there should not be comma after the last title in python and recheck the category name properly.

It is based on wikidata statement: Date of death.

PAWS Fetch the pages from search box

 import requests

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

search_url = "https://ml.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=പ്രത്യേകം:അന്വേഷണം&limit=500&offset=0&ns0=1&search=ഇസ്ലാം+ഇസ്ലാം&advancedSearch-current="

# Send a GET request to the search URL

response = requests.get(search_url)

# Check if the request was successful (status code 200)

if response.status_code == 200:

    # Parse the HTML content of the page

    soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')

    # Find the elements that contain article titles

    title_elements = soup.find_all('div', class_='mw-search-result-heading')

    # Extract and print the article titles

    for title_element in title_elements:

        article_title = title_element.text.strip()

        print(article_title)

else:

    print(f"Failed to retrieve search results. Status code: {response.status_code}")

Paws : Fixing spelling mistake (replace)

import pywikibot

site = pywikibot.Site('ml', 'wikipedia')  # Malayalam Wikipedia

site.login()

# Read page titles from replace.txt

with open('replace.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as file:

    page_titles = file.read().splitlines()

# Search and replace for each page title

search_term = 'അള്ളാഹു'

replace_term = 'അല്ലാഹു'

for title in page_titles:

    page = pywikibot.Page(site, title)

    page_text = page.text

    # Check if the page text already contains the replacement term

    if replace_term not in page_text:

        updated_text = page_text.replace(search_term, replace_term)

        # Edit the page with the updated text

        page.text = updated_text

        page.save(summary='Fixing misspelling')

    else:

        print(f'Skipping page {title} as it already contains the replacement term.')
