Also, after the bot runs, could you sweep the subcats of Category:Isotopes (but not Category:Isotopes itself) and tagged all articles with ((WikiProject Elements|class=|importance=|isotopes=yes)), and assess (same logic as in the physics run, tag with redirect/na when redirects are identified, and so on, and tag as |class=stubs |importance= when under 2KB)? Three exceptions: Category:Environmental isotopes, Category:Isotope table templates, and Category:Tables of nuclides should be left alone.
