Notice of paid work relating to Wikipedia
Since January 29, 2017, I have been employed as a private contractor by a variety of clients. I’ve used my Wikipedia account in a professional and personal capacity to add factual information to articles related to the clients, only with supporting third party news sources. I have endeavored to make sure all my edits are factually sourced.

The contracts were obtained through a variety of websites. The subjects are checked for notability to the best of my understanding of WP:Notability, etc. Any influence by the client about the actual content of the article are summarily rejected. Independent research is conducted, articles meticulously cited and submitted for review to AFC.

I no longer advertise or actively seek paid work. I, sometimes, continue to work with my previous employers if contacted. However, I am mostly busy with my new career.

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.

What "Ignore all rules" means

[edit]

Rules are mostly made to be broken and are too often for the lazy to hide behind.

— Douglas MacArthur[1]

Rules are for fools

— Unknown. (As used by coaches/motivators)[2]

By all means break the rules, and break them beautifully, deliberately and well. That is one of the ends for which they exist.

— Robert Bringhurst[3]

The code is more what you call "guidelines" than actual rules.

— Captain Barbossa[4]

The rules are only barriers to keep children from falling.

— Madame de Staël[5]

Give me the judgment of balanced minds in preference to laws every time. Codes and manuals create patterned behavior. All patterned behavior tends to go unquestioned, gathering destructive momentum.

— Darwi Odrade[6]
