In addition, i believe that if you want to block titles that contain characters in them that are used to affect the patterns (such as \, ?, *), they should be escaped by putting a slash (\) before them. The extention is on the wiki. This isn't quite what I meant by if they are working. I was wondering if the individual expressions themselves are working (through attempting to upload a file that violates the expressions). I would do it but I only have one account and you can't edit anonymously on the wiki.

When you mean "escaped" you are saying, for example,  that the semicolon and the period would be ignored and I could place another special character behind the period? If not, can you provide an example?
