Another quick update: the Replace Text plugin we were using only supported a limited subset of RegExp functions and that's what was causing the problems. After some discussion with Parlane, Replace Text plugin was dropped and now we have [[Special:MassEditRegex|MassEditRegex]] instead (and as usual, only accessible by admins). MassEditRegex doesn't have the limitations from Replace Text and I'm almost ready, I'll probably start the purging later today. Oh, and I almost forgot, edits made through MassEditRegex are marked as bot edits, so they won't spam [[Special:RecentChanges]] unless you explicitly ask it to show bot edits. - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) 03:13, 20 June 2016 (CEST) | Another quick update: the Replace Text plugin we were using only supported a limited subset of RegExp functions and that's what was causing the problems.

: Okay, I pressed the red button, mass edits finished and apparently everything went well. There are some pages that used non-standard formatting and thus didn't get caught on the RegExp query or that have issues that can still happen when opening the graphics configuration menu. Since the number of pages needing special treatment seems very small, I'll take care of them manually now, everything regarding page purging should be done very very soon :) - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) 04:01, 20 June 2016 (CEST) | |||
