@Marostegui If you're up for it, this is the only other rename in need of supervision. I can take this one on now.

My time zone UTC+02:00
So here is Monday :)

@@Marostegui can you write your time zone in your profile?

He's a server admin, so more than likely EST which puts us at 21:37. Besides in your time zone no server admin is awake to maintain any site. :)

@Marostegui - still around? If @Cyberpower678 is still not around I can babysit this if that's okay?

When you start, can you paste the progress URL?
Thanks!

I'm also looking this process (at the link given by @Cyberpower678) and it seems to be failed in Meta: the rename progress indicated that "failed" (and not "Done") in Meta-Wiki. How it can be fixed? And also the failed renaming progress at the mentioned project also stopped the renaming who are missing in the remain wikis.

Wait at least 3 hours since the failure because jobs try to restart themselves.

This is why we have sysadmins folks. :p

Cyberpower678 lowered the priority of this task from Unbreak Now! to High.Feb 5 2018, 2:40 PM

As @MarcoAurelio said, we should wait at least 3 hours.
It's happened with me few times, and usually after 1 hours it's fixed spontaneously.

Now the process is done after waiting for some hours. All CentralAuth acounts now have the new name: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Qehath
