Nice! I like it.

There seems to be a limit at "Skip if Contains: .{935,}". This 17 kB page is skipped only if ".{935,}" and lower, but not ".{936,}" and higher. ".{936,100000}" doesn't skip either. Is this an AWB problem or a regex engine one?
I haven't looked through bug reports yet, but will post {{done}} there if I can't fine one.

I think the "skip" regex is being run against each paragraph separately, not the whole article. The longest paragraphs in that article have 935-ish characters.

Nope, [.\s]{936,} doesn't skip either.

Further discussion took place on my talk page; it's now at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:John_of_Reading/Archive_18#Relevent_regex_question
Something strange was indeed happening on Tom.Reding's machine, but it cleared after a reboot.
