Any idea why this replace_metadata would fail to remove " (Fandom)"? Regex101 indicates that the pattern matches.

Code:

## Character standardization and dedepublication
## Removing some fandoms first
 characters=>\s(\(Elder Scrolls\)|\(Fallout\)|\(Mass Effect\)|\(Skyrim\))$=>

This works but leaves behind an extraneous space:

Code:

 characters=>\(Elder Scrolls\)|\(Fallout\)|\(Mass Effect\)|\(Skyrim\)$=>

Here's a fic for testing.
