Hi!

The space is recognized, but in regexes parenthesis have special
meaning, they create a group, and do not match the "()" character.
(the handy regex resource I use for reference :
http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/regex/ )

You'll have to escape the parenthesis for python to understand that
you want to match the character, instead of creating a group. You may
have encountered the same kind of issues with brackets, only \[ will
match [ when using the -regex parameter.

"""
python replace.py -regex " \(from wikipedia\)}}" "}}" -file:sfwn1e
-log:sfwlog -summary:"adding argument to {{from wikipedia raw}}
template - Step 2 of 2, change local pagename to Wikipedia pagename"
"""

will work.

Also, in this case, the -regex parameter is not necessary, because
your appear to match a single given string.
"""
python replace.py " (from wikipedia)}}" "}}" -file:sfwn1e -log:sfwlog

-summary:"adding argument to {{from wikipedia raw}} template - Step 2
of 2, change local pagename to Wikipedia pagename"
"""

will work all the same.
