Subject: -titleregex only searches mainspace
Original description:
Using the -titleregex parameter to a replace.py on the wikimedia commons only gets me hits in the main \(gallery\) space not in file/image space where I need it to. setting -namespace:6 does nothing and setting -prefixindex:file 'adds' mainspace content with the word file in front. The same result is obtained when attempting to look in userspace \(though I didn't try it with -namespace:\). An example is:
python replace.py -titleregex:".\*Nietzsche.\*" foooooooo bar
version.py output:
