How to whitelist by domain extension or wildcard?

I wish to allow large swarths of domains but am not having any luck with using standard wildcards.
For instance using "*" or "?" has no functionality.
I have decided just to allow scripts from a domain extention as a last resort.
So how would I allow all from a domain with an extension like ".me"?
So I would like to allow say google.me but not google.com as a example.

Sorry I have no idea what you're talking about, and your last sentence accurately describes the most basic normal NoScript functionality - just set google.me to Trusted and set google.com to Default
Could you please be more specific and detailed about what you would like to do? What specifically would you
ideally achieve here, i.e. not last resort?

No, Every .me domain, "*.me".

It's possible: NoScript Options > Per-site Permissions, manually add "me" (without the quotes) and set it to TRUSTED
But this is not safe - compare to
https://classic.noscript.net/faq#qa1_11: here you're not trusting a specific entity, there's no telling what you are trusting as anyone can register a domain with .me TLD.

Yes it does, I tested it before posting.
Maybe missing something here, but you seem to still be focusing on this -

I just tested it and it is still blocking that domain, possibly because I am using a early version on a portable depreciated browser.

I would like to allow scripts from a specific domain that fit a specific criteria.
In other words I want to allow 1.me through 50.me domain names but not 51.me or 100.me yet allow 101.me through 150.me and so on in no particular order.

If you know the maximum number of these, one option might be to use an external program to programatically generate the list of allowed domains, then paste that into NoScript Options > Advanced > Debug, in the "trusted" list there. Make sure the pasted entries are in the same format as the existing entries, and watch for potential errors involving missing or trailing comma.
Another possibility might be to consider
uBlock Origin custom static filters instead of NoScript for this task.
(A historical note: this would've used to be achievable in NoScript using ABE, but ABE has not yet come back to NoScript Webext.)
