  I see, the documentation is missleading. I haven't verified whether the 
manual pages on MediaWiki are valid; surely some of them are outdated. The 
reference information for the whole framework documentation is placed at 
https://doc.wikimedia.org/pywikibot/stable/ and the category script description 
can be found here 
<https://doc.wikimedia.org/pywikibot/stable/scripts/main.html> for example. See 
also T312992 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T312992>.
  
  Calling  `pwb category -help` shows the message //If action is "add", the 
following additional options are supported:// and displays the pagegenerators 
options. That means, these options are only availlable for `add` action. `tidy` 
and `listify` only enables the namespaces filter.
  
  Expanding other actions other than `add` is not trivial because all others 
need a category already to work on, which means that there must be always an 
intersection with pagegenerators then. Anyway your suggestion is very usefull 
and should be implemented I think.
