Regex Fun to RegexFunctions transition
In preparation for a MediaWiki upgrade, all usages of the {{#regex}} parser function from the Regex Fun extension were replaced with equivalent {{#rmatch}}, {{#rsplit}} or {{#rreplace}} parser functions from the RegexFunctions extension. This change was made because Regex Fun is unmaintained and will be dropped from this wiki when the MediaWiki upgrade is complete (sometime soon). - mbc07 (talk) 10:21, 4 April 2026 (CEST)

Error with Slash in Search
Using a forward slash in a search term (i.e. "NA/EU") results in a long set of Wiki errors... "Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Unknown modifier ')' in /home/dolphin-emu/apps/wiki/includes/search/SearchEngine.php on line 1402" Kolano (talk) 22:01, 28 August 2013 (CEST)
Now it's... Warning: preg_match(): Unknown modifier ')' in /home/dolphin-emu/apps/wiki/includes/search/SearchHighlighter.php on line 512 ...but this still occurs. Kolano (talk) 07:04, 13 March 2017 (CET)

Very Odd Query API Error
For some unknown reason, searching for 'SNES' with the Wikimedia API gives a 500 error. Typing in other searches, like 'Super Nintendo Entertainment System', 'SMS' or other games work. There is no other known queries that cause this. I have nailed it down to the 'redirects' parameter being, but it does not make sense why it works with other queries but SNES.
Here is the link in question: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/api.php?action=query&utf8=1&redirects&format=json&prop=info%7Ccategories&inprop=url&titles=SNES
