Description

Author: maxim.wiki

Description:
On at least two occasions, renames by en.wiki bureaucrats over users with large edit counts (10K+ edits) have caused multiple log entries. Two examples are http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=renameuser&user=The+Rambling+Man&page=User%3AJonathan+Cardy&year=&month=-1 and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=renameuser&user=Rlevse&page=User%3AChet+B+Long&year=&month=-1.

From experience, I think multiple log entries result if a bureaucrat resubmits a rename that has timed out, thinking it has failed. Renames involving users with many edits are most likely to time out.

So it can be something like http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=&user=Maxim&page=Main+Page&year=&month=-1, where the log entries were about 15 seconds apart, and I had done multiple clicks on the confirm button.

Yes, I think it's the same phenomenon.

Might be fixed in r40230.

Does this still occur?
