My regex skills are pretty poor, and most of the time they make me feel stupid. Can anyone help? This question is more concerned with better mastery of regex than the job of extracting information from mud soup, so if my understanding of the mediawiki template system is flawed, I don't really mind that much. I'll spot it soon enough. I...
