From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Teahouse has just reached 1000 archives. 19:29, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

I was here when we hit six million articles. 13:32, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

About me

[edit ]

I mostly use the source editor over the visual editor, (削除) but use the latter for referencing (削除ここまで) and I use ProveIt for citations, as I'm not too good at using the templates. I joined Wikipedia to try and improve the article Gulval. I am currently creating an article on Dingle Farm Tearoom, although I am on-and-off with this.

Searching Wikipedia with regular expressions (regex)
Searching with regex online

To search Wikipedia live with regular expressions, use the insource: parameter, followed by your regex search string enclosed in forward slashes, like this: /regular expression/. Here is an example:

insource:/(Abraham|Abe) Lincoln/

insource searches the wikitext version of articles, and so, wikiformatting codes can be included in the search string. If any characters you wish to find are used as special characters within regex, they will need to be "escaped" by preceding each with a backslash. For a cheat sheet on writing regexes, see Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Regular expression.

For case insensitive searches, include an "i" after the closing forward slash.

Searching with regex offline

To search all of Wikipedia offline using regex, you need to download the Wikipedia database and do the search offline with AutoWikiBrowser's Database Scanner. Activate it from the tools menu in AutoWikiBrowser (AWB). It returns the names of the pages that match your query, which you can have sent directly to AWB's list maker (then you can use AWB to view them all). The Database Scanner has many features, and each query can be easily configured to match, exclude, specify namespaces, ignore redirects, etc. as you see fit.

Other methods of searching Wikipedia with regular expressions
  • To search Wikipedia titles with regex, use Grep .
  • To search within the current page use the edit window:
    • If source editing, use the "Search and replace" dialog by clicking the magnifying glass icon at the far right of the "Advanced" toolbar.
    • If visual editing, type Ctrl-F to get the search box, then click the "(.*)" icon for regular expressions.
    • Regular expressions are also supported by the WikEd text editor gadget.
  • AutoWikiBrowser can do regex search/replaces, on a list of articles that you provide it.
