Need Help with crawl-urlfilter.txt

I trying to crawl a wikipedia site.

I want to skip any url which has the term Special:

Eg:
https://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php/Special:Whatlinkshere/Main_Page
https://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php/Special:Recentchangeslinked/Main_Page
https://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php/Special:Watchlist
https://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php/Special:Contributions/SName
https://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php/Special:Recentchanges

This is my crawl-urlfilter.txt
-^http://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php/Special:
-^http://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php/Special:*
-^http://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php/Special:*/
-^http://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php/Special:*/*
-^https://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php/Special:Upload
+^https://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php
-.

But I still see the fetcher logs.

Hi Sriram,

In regex, . matches to any single character, and following . with a *
matches that single character zero or more times. That is,  .* in
combination is a wildcard match.

So modifying your regex to:

-^http://wiki.mydomain.com/index.php/Special:.*

should fix the problem.
