Unless that does not mean breaking it into a two-step process for stewards, that's fine.

Thank you so much for working on this task.

I've never used this API module as well.

Thanks for taking the time to do this in a different timezone from yours!

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

Thanks, @MarcoAurelio and @alanajjar. @Marostegui: can we proceed with this task tomorrow? What about 0h (UTC) (from Saturday to Sunday)? I'll be also available in the morning from 9:00 to 15:00 (UTC) though.

Just out of curiosity. Would it be possible to prevent this from occurring again by blocking further renames whenever there was already 10 renames in progress?

Please do not action this rename until T173419: Unblock stuck global renames at Meta-Wiki is fixed and its reasons known. Thank you.

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

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 ;)

Sure, would 9AM work?

Some accounts are not being auto-created on login wiki during the account creation process again.
Some examples (spambots):
BridgetteShapcot
DwightStuder778

Today I noticed that some spambot and LTA accounts have been created with no loginwiki accounts attached to them, again. These accounts were created in 28 and 29 January.
