[Tharos]

I need some help (ok, a lot of help) with the metadata. Maybe someone has time to look into my problems.
What is it about. I am trying to change the metadata of several pages via [defaults]. And then later to modify it page specific.

Q1: Although I exclude "Cunning; resourceful and ambitious" via several lines, it continues to be listed in the tags. What am I doing wrong?

Q2: I want to always delete all tags that contain "Cunning". What is the correct entry here? I am trying 4 different ways. None of them works. Why?

Q3: In [defaults] I would like to delete "Arthur Weasley". The entry here does not work. Why?

Q4: What is the difference between "^(Manipulative(.*)?)$" and "^Manipulative$"? I want to delete or change all tags that start with this word. I can't figure out from the examples here in the forum what the right way is.

Many questions, I know. But maybe someone has some time to look over it. I am grateful for any help.
