Thread:Project:Support desk/Magicword.php - group name must start with a non-digit at offset 8

Hi all,

My wiki has started spitting out errors and not displaying pages. A google search tells me this is a known issue, with a fix located at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58640

I'm an amateur when it comes to php - if anyone is feeling kind enough, could you possibly advise on which parts of magicword.php I need to remove and what I need to add? I've tried using the 'side by side' page on the bug report link above but that didn't seem to work. Replacing the file altogether gave me an internal error.

I've left a 'clean' version of magicword.php in place for now, since it just displays an internal error to my visitors rather than a mess of coding and a blank page, but if it helps, my wiki is located at actbus.net/fleetwiki, running version 1.17.0

Thankyou in advance :)
