Global rename of Darwinius → DarwIn: supervision needed
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

We have a request on the SRUC page where a user by the name "Darwinius" (50,000 < local edits [Commons/ptwiki] < 200,000) wants to be renamed to "DarwIn". The reason given seems legit. Can a sysadmin supervise this rename?

When do you want to do this?

If you're going to be avalaible in the next hours we can try to do it if you think it's okay and have time.

In which TZ are you? I would rather try to do it sometime in the UTC morning, as the number of edits is pretty high, I would prefer to choose sometime a bit more quieter traffic-wise if possible.

If it helps, my timezone is -3 and I am around almost all day long lately...

Thanks - do you want to try 8AM UTC tomorrow?

I give way to @RuyP to handle this with your coordination.

Ok! Surely. Will you be arround?

Yep! we can coordinate via irc (#wikimedia-operations) or here, whatever you prefer. I will comment here when I am ready.
From your side I would need to send me the meta page with the progress, so I can follow it.

I will probably ease a bit the slow slaves for s2 (ptwiki) and s4 (commons) as the number of edits is quite massive for those two wikis.

The rest of wikis have quite low numbers.

See you at 8AM UTC tomorrow then!

Ok then. If it was a little bit later, it would be easier to me. However, If this is not possible, we'll do 8am (UTC) tomorrow ;)

Thanks - let's wait then and arrange a new day/time whenever that ticket is fixed.

@alanajjar No. @RuyP and @Marostegui are in charge of this one and they'll seek a day between them to perform this rename themselves.

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2017-08-22T09:42:57Z] <marostegui> Renaming user Darwinius → DarwIn - T173159

Commons is done, and some lag is being generated. I have eased a bit the transactional options for the slowest hosts.
Next big one is ptwiki on s2

And s2 also got a lag spike on the slower slaves when ptwiki was done. But it is now gone.
The pending wikis are pretty small,so we should be good.

All done - feel free to close this whenever you like.
Thanks for taking the time to do this in a different timezone from yours!
