RegEx documentation
[edit]I asked the Claude Haiku to create a list of regex patterns. Sharing here in case it would be helpful to include. I haven't validated them yet. I was looking for something to parse user replies to Talk pages (and later got some good input here: https://github.com/earwig/mwparserfromhell/issues/345

- The available regex keys are create by textlib._create_default_regexes, the source can be found here. The compiled regex can be retrievied via textlib.get_regexes. But thank you for your proposal. I'll try to fetch it from your repository copy to include it to the master branch. To contribute to Pywikibot refer Manual:Pywikibot/Development. You can upload changes without Developer accoutn commit access via the Gerrit Patch Uploader. Btw. better use Phabricator tasks to report any issue like bugs, feature requests or proposals because this talk page is not on developers scope. @xqt 10:32, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Maybe you should merge this to Pywikibot, as you wish. Vitaly Zdanevich (talk) 13:44, 9 February 2026 (UTC)
