Bug in redirect regex parsing

NoahAndrews

I made a redirect rule that should handle redirecting all Fandom URLs to BreezeWiki that works fine in regex101, but when I try it in Kagi, it doesn't work for wikis that have dashes in their names. The part of the Regex that seems to be failing to match should match against any character that's not a period.

regex101 link (works as expected): https://regex101.com/r/Xeuiue/2
The actual text of the Kagi rule (removes escape characters for slashes): ^https://([^\.]*)\.fandom\.com/wiki/(.*)|https://breezewiki.com/$1/wiki/$2

Fandom wikis that have dashes in their names should get redirected as well.

After posting, I tried un-escaping the periods (besides the one in the first capture group), since the Kagi redirects documentation doesn't escape the periods. Surprisingly, that made wiki names with dashes start redirecting correctly.

Here's the string that works: ^https://([^\.]*).fandom.com/wiki/(.*)|https://breezewiki.com/$1/wiki/$2

The question of why my original version did not work remains, but also, shouldn't we be escaping periods in our redirect rules? In regex, a period indicates "any character". Wouldn't a rule that references "reddit.com" also match against "reddittcom.org"? If Kagi is doing anything special with periods to make it so that periods don't have to be escaped, that should be clearly documented.
