Regular expression magic
Is the prospect of manually updating every article that includes map coordinates with the new {{Navi}} template making you depressed? Then you need new regular expression magic! Automatically insert the {{Navi}} template into articles with just a few key presses! Just follow these simple steps:
- Install and then open Atom.
- Create a new file (control-N).
- Paste the wikitext that you wish to update (control-V).
- Press control-F to open the find panel.
- Press alt-control-/ to enable regular expressions.
- Enter the following into the respective fields:
Find:\(?\s+'*\/navi +([\w-]+) +(\d+)\/(\d+)'*\s+\)?
Replace:{{Navi|$1|$2|$3}} - Press Replace all.
For example, any of the following would be replaced with {{Navi|prontera|146|89}}:
- /navi prontera 146/89
- (/navi prontera 146/89)
- ('''/navi prontera 146/89''')

- Ah, I put a "?" after "/s"...still don't understand why but it work!
Find:\(?\s?'*?\/navi +([\w]+) +(\d+)\/(\d+)'*\s?\)? - If add a "?" after the second "'*" would fail finding. *confusion*
Find:\(?\s?'*?\/navi +([\w]+) +(\d+)\/(\d+)'*?\s?\)?

- For finding (dicastes01 175, 217) to be replaced
Find:\(?\s?'*?([\w]+) +(\d+), (\d+)'*\s?\)?
