It will add the text "{{Documentation subpage}}" at the very top of the pages with "Category:Template documentation". Pages which have the text "{{Documentation subpage}}" .
add_text.py -cat:template_documentation -text:"{{Documentation subpage}}" -except:"\{\{([Tt]emplate:|)[Dd]ocumentation [Ss]ubpage" -up
-cat:template_documentation: only target entries categorized in the page of "Category:Template documentation"-text:"{{Documentation subpage}}": add the template "{{Documentation subpage}}" (excluding the quotes)-except:"\{\{([Tt]emplate:|)[Dd]ocumentation [Ss]ubpage": regex commands to exclude entries which have this template already in the page-up: Put the text at the top of the page instead
Another example:
python add_text.py -cat:catname -summary:"Bot: Adding a template" -text:"{{Something}}" -except:"\{\{([Tt]emplate:|)[Ss]omething" -up
[edit] Adding category to pages without any category
This is a real instance that is used on it.wikipedia to put the template in the page without any category.
python add_text.py -excepturl:"class='catlinks'>" -uncat -text:"{{Categorizzare}}" -except:"\{\{([Tt]emplate:|)[Cc]ategorizzare" -summary:"Bot: Aggiungo template Categorizzare"
