Global renames can be asked on any project. I think we should work forward T101615: Create a blacklist of user who can not use Special:GlobalRenameRequest instead.

MarcoAurelio moved this task from Backlog to GlobalRename on the MediaWiki-extensions-CentralAuth board.Dec 15 2016, 4:31 PM

Besides, requesting a global rename and editing on meta wiki are distinctly different things.

Should this task be merged into that task then?

Per T231384: Advise blocked users to explain and/or solve their block before requesting rename requesting a rename when blocked seems like a valid use case.
