Commons:File description page regular expressions

Shortcut: COM:REGEX This is a list of some regular expressions for localisation and general fixes for bots to do. Some of these are fairly trivial and should be combined with other tasks. Regexes marked as minor should not be run alone. If you have any regexes you use and would like to share, please add them below.

Everything is case-insensitive unless specified otherwise. The expressions should be executed from top to bottom. If any of these cause problems, please report it on the talk page. They're reasonably tested but no guarantees.

Dates[edit]

Most plausible years[edit]

Most digital photos are dated after 2000. So the most plausible year is <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">(200[0-9]|201[0-9])</source>. For example 19082006 gets translated into 2006-08-19.

Thus, convert to normal link and leave for manual cleanup.

Categories[edit]

These are mainly to improve machine-readability when performing other category work.
