So, I am trying to block based on a regex, but cannot find anywhere which would accept this. Specifically, I want to block editing on Wikipedia for a group of users - so I have a regex that checks Wikipedia site requests for the action=edit part at the end, but as far as I can tell I can only block based on domain, URL or keyword?
Does anyone know how I can do this?
AFAIK it can't be done with regex, but you can achieve your goal.
I've just tested it and it works.
Step 1.
Protect > Web > Categories: add a categorie like this:
Step 2.
Protect > Web > User activities: Create a new activity like this:
Step 3.
Protect > Web > Policies: edit / create a policy ie.:
I've tested this on you're URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unconquered_(1940_play)
I can view this page but can't edit it.
Good luck.

try this:
Now i can't edit, all the other links keep working though...
Hi Peter-Paul Gra,
I followed you suggestion and it only blocks this link : https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Unconquered_(1940_play)&action=edit
All other links works just fine:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Unconquered_(1940_play)&oldid=940588704
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Unconquered_(1940_play)&action=history
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Unconquered_(1940_play)&action=info
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Groove&printable=yes
So Tony Ayre, if you only wants to block : https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Unconquered_(1940_play)&action=edit, follow the steps provided by Peter-Paul Gra.
Thanks,
