Why is this?
regex is suffering from give me ze code type of questions and poor answers with no explanation. This reference is meant to provide links to quality Q&A.

This reference is meant for the following languages: php, perl, javascript, python, ruby, java, .net.
This might be too broad, but these languages share the same syntax. For specific features there's the tag of the language behind it, example:

Quantifiers
Zero-or-more: *:greedy, *?:reluctant, *+:possessive
One-or-more: +:greedy, +?:reluctant, ++:possessive
?:optional (zero-or-one)
Min/max ranges (all inclusive): {n,m}:between n & m, {n,}:n-or-more, {n}:exactly n

Character Classes
What is the difference between square brackets and parentheses?
[...]: any one character, [^...]: negated/any character but
[^] matches any one character including newlines javascript
[\w-[\d]] / [a-z-[qz]]: set subtraction .net, xml-schema, xpath, JGSoft
[\w&&[^\d]]: set intersection java, ruby 1.9+
[[:alpha:]]:POSIX character classes
[[:<:]] and [[:>:]] Word boundaries
Why do [^\\D2], [^[^0-9]2], [^2[^0-9]] get different results in Java? java
Shorthand:
Digit: \d:digit, \D:non-digit
Word character (Letter, digit, underscore): \w:word character, \W:non-word character
Whitespace: \s:whitespace, \S:non-whitespace
Unicode categories (\p{L}, \P{L}, etc.)
Escape Sequences
Horizontal whitespace: \h:space-or-tab, \t:tab
Newlines:
\r, \n:carriage return and line feed
\R:generic newline php java-8
Negated whitespace sequences: \H:Non horizontal whitespace character, \V:Non vertical whitespace character, \N:Non line feed character pcre php5 java-8
Other: \v:vertical tab, \e:the escape character

Term
Definition
Start of string
At the very start of the string.
Start of line
At the very start of the string, andafter a non-terminal line terminator.
Very end of string
At the very end of the string.
End of text
At the very end of the string, andat a terminal line terminator.
End of line
At the very end of the string, andat a line terminator.
Word boundary
At a word character not preceded by a word character, andat a non-word character not preceded by a non-word character.
End of previous match
At a previously set position, usually where a previous match ended.At the very start of the string if no position was set.
"Common" refers to the following: icu java javascript .net objective-c pcre perl php python swift ruby

D Dollar end only mode.
Groups
(...):capture group, (?:):non-capture group
Why is my repeating capturing group only capturing the last match?
\1:backreference and capture-group reference, $1:capture group reference

What does the 'P' in (?P<group_name>regexp) mean?

Lookarounds
Lookaheads: (?=...):positive, (?!...):negative
Lookbehinds: (?<=...):positive, (?<!...):negative
Lookbehind limits in:
Lookbehinds need to be constant-length php, perl, python, ruby
Lookarounds of limited length {0,n} java
Variable length lookbehinds are allowed .net

Java
Official documentation: Pattern Javadoc ↪, Oracle's regular expressions tutorial ↪
The differences between functions in java.util.regex.Matcher:
matches()): The match must be anchored to both input-start and -end
find()): A match may be anywhere in the input string (substrings)
lookingAt(): The match must be anchored to input-start only
(For anchors in general, see the section "Anchors")

When to not use regular expressions:
Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems. (blog post written by Stack Overflow's founder)*
Do not use regex to parse HTML:
Don't. Please, just don't
Well, maybe...if you're really determined (other answers in this question are also good)
