        Probably related to overall MetaBrainz issues, if I had to guess. I've had login issues on multiple projects in the past week

        waait I just realised I could possibly fix BB-870 myself, https://bookbrainz.org/identifier-type/23/edit what should I edit the Detection RegEx and Validation RegEx with? (can replace just "authors" with "*" work?)

        I think now pasting an OL author link doesn't work anymore

        • 2025-11-12 31639, 2025

      • ApeKattQuest
        huuuhhh

        • 2025-11-12 31641, 2025

      • ApeKattQuest
        oh no

        • 2025-11-12 31643, 2025

      • monkey[m]
        No no, I think you are absolutely correct with the solution

        • 2025-11-12 31653, 2025

      • monkey[m]
        Let me check the regex

        • 2025-11-12 31658, 2025

      • ApeKattQuest
        lol

        • 2025-11-12 31601, 2025

      • ApeKattQuest
        shait that shouldn't break it because a|b should be "matched a or b according to https://regexr.com/

      • monkey[m]
        For reference, I usually use this to test regexps, and always test with all examples I have at hand because regexps are HARD

      • ApeKattQuest
        yea uh I don't know this

        • 2025-11-12 31624, 2025

      • ApeKattQuest
        what is d+?

        • 2025-11-12 31642, 2025

      • monkey[m]
        OK, I fixed the regex, it needed a "non capturing group" around authors|work

        • 2025-11-12 31643, 2025

      • ApeKattQuest
        the A is for A at the end of the entity

        • 2025-11-12 31648, 2025

      • monkey[m]
        openlibrary\.org\/(?:authors|works)\/(OL\d+?A)

        • 2025-11-12 31658, 2025

      • ApeKattQuest
        what does non capturing mean?

        • 2025-11-12 31616, 2025

      • ApeKattQuest
        i need to learn regex properly orz

        • 2025-11-12 31647, 2025

      • monkey[m]
        ApeKattQuest: See in the top right "explanation" panel, it explains each token:

        • 2025-11-12 31647, 2025

      • monkey[m]
        `\d matches a digit (equivalent to [0-9])`

        • 2025-11-12 31647, 2025

      • monkey[m]
        `+? matches the previous token between one and unlimited times,`

        • 2025-11-12 31659, 2025

      • ApeKattQuest
        what aprt of the regex makes it ignore the bit after the OL2165055A bit?

        • 2025-11-12 31620, 2025

      • ApeKattQuest
        I'll look at this now
