 * Does your process touch on categories that have been tagged for moves? Some of the ones I looked at have been tagged far longer than 2 weeks.
 * What is it that makes Comic issues, Comic volumes and images different from item/character/team/whatever pages when it comes to moves? If the bot can detect and edit any string that reads, say, "Peter Parker (Earth-17)", why can't it detect and edit a string like "Building Puncher Comics Vol 1 5"?

No. The bot was specifically built to handle transfer of characters. In cases where the page is similar enough to a character, (has the same sub-pages and link changes), it will still work, but if the page is too different (categories don't have sub-pages, are in the Category: namespace), it doesn't work and a different method has to be created or used. Categories are usually pretty easy except both the current name of the category and the new name have to be entered by hand, which can get arduous.

They use a different naming convention for the page (no reality number, no parenthesis, typically), they have different templates with different fields in them on the page itself, they have different sub-pages (often none, where 'subject' pages have multiple), and they have different related pages that have to be updated based on the name change.

I had developed a comic volume name changer, but it has to be set up a specific way, and I never had it working at 100%. There were always some pages left out for whatever reason.
