@Anomie Based on your comments on T222224#5182855, I am going to suggest to possibly wait for this big rename on dewiki it it can, if you disagree (e.g. because actor going to take a long time) please say so.
I suggested the user to wait and she agreed. I will keep track of the deployment progress and if it gets too delayed, suggest to do it in the old way to not block the rename indefinitely.
Waiting for the actor migration to get to write-new should indeed reduce the amount of work needed to perform this rename. Current plan is for group 2 (which includes dewiki) to be set to write-new on June 3, probably at around 13:30 UTC. It might be prudent to leave some delay after that in case we find a need to roll back, although I'd hope we'd already have detected issues that would require rollback last week (group 0) or this (group 1).
@Anomie Regarding specifically quick renames- is is something that will also need to change after migration or is it already bound to the newer actor codebase?
The Renameuser extension already has code in place to skip the slow updates of names in various tables when the actor migration stage is "write-new".
Thanks anomie! Global renamers will be very happy to hear that. Your comments are very helpful on clarifying the status!
@Anomie might be able to give us more information of the timeline for the deployment.
This doesn't really need a DBA there is no lag replication lag showing up since we replaced all the old hardware
@Itti, there should be no reason to block this anymore, as far as I been told and I can see, renames should be (almost) instant and not longer be an error-prone action. Please confirm when performing this rename.
@jcrespo, thank you very much.
I ask the user today for her ok, but she rejact the rename: https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzerin_Diskussion:Fiona_B.&curid=6496935&diff=190068705&oldid=190062479&diffmode=source.
I´m sorry, I hope you have not had too much work with this request.
Please close the request.
Thank you
