Extension talk:Replace Text/Archive 2018

Regex (big wish)
Please add regular expressions. That would help to maintain templates.--Jannis 11:27, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I also think that would be the next logical step :) Maybe a good preview (before / after) of the unparsed text would be needed here. --Subfader 18:31, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Search apparently not working after doing first set of replacements
I just did a search to replace " " with "  " within a specific namespace. It replaced that text just fine on about 90 pages within that namespace.

I then wanted to do a similar replace in the same namespace, like this: " " to "  ". However, the search isn't finding the pages in that same namespace saying that no pages were found. My job to replace Template1 seems to have finished about a half hour ago, so I don't think there is any conflicting going on. Also, we have a development instance of our site, and when I try the same search on that site it does pick up all the Template2 instances. Any idea what might be happening? Thanks! --Gkullberg 18:38, 26 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Hard to tell from here, if not impossible ;) --Subfader 20:38, 26 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Yet is there anything you can point me to on the server that I could look at, like processes, error / task logs, or anything where I could troubleshoot myself? --Gkullberg 21:13, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Redirects still getting created
I did a find & replace for a bunch of page names which got moved to new names. I unchecked "Save the old titles as redirects to the new titles", yet redirects still got created. I was hoping that redirects didn't get created. Is that the intended outcome? --Gkullberg 21:12, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
