Move namespace in the English Wiktionary: Wikisaurus → Thesaurus
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Please do this:

  1. Move all contents of the "Wikisaurus" namespace to a new "Thesaurus" namespace.
  2. Keep "Wikisaurus" as an alias to "Thesaurus".

For example, "Wikisaurus:good" should be moved to "Thesaurus:good". "Wikisaurus:good" should automatically redirect to "Thesaurus:good".
Link to this example page: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wikisaurus:good

Note: "WS" is currently an alias to "Wikisaurus" too.

Thank you.

Event Timeline

I checked the prefix index and found no pages that will be broken by this task, so renaming will not cause any problems. A patch will be uploaded now.

Change 374063 had a related patch set uploaded (by GeoffreyT2000; owner: GeoffreyT2000):
[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Rename Wikisaurus namespace on Wiktionary to "Thesaurus"

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/374063

@GeoffreyT2000 Please schedule it for deployment at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments (or, if you wish, I can do it for you at Monday's EU SWAT).

I scheduled it for European Mid-day SWAT next Monday, September 11.

The September 11 schedule was cancelled because of infrastructure, so I have rescheduled this for tomorrow, September 19, again during European Mid-day SWAT.

Looks good!

The namespace's name is now "Thesaurus" rather than "Wikisaurus".
