I'm trying to replace HTML-like tags spread across hundreds of pages in my wiki. I'm using regular expressions, e.g.
<repeat>(.*?)</repeat>
but keep getting Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError error suppoedly indicating a software bug. Is there a way around this?
My version is MW 1.30.1, PHP 5.5.9, MySQL 5.7.25 (with ReplaceText for MW 1.30 of course)
