I'm not convinced that patch is needed. We already have $staticMappings in
multiversion which should allow the new domain to be pointed to the old
databases.
Also note that Wikibase sitelinks are based on database names like
'be_x_oldwiki'...

My answer already assumed that as the only way, hence the downtime. :-)

As others have pointed out, it's a non-trivial task to rename a wiki.
That said, creating a wiki is actually fairly easy, so maybe we should
investigate a large-scale export and import process instead of renaming.

Thanks for bringing this up, Amir.
I would point out that since there are such a lot of wikis waiting to be
renamed, there is an opportunity for economy of scale here. If all the
departments/people you list were able to set aside a couple of days to sit down
together and rename the 15+ wikis w

Hi,
Is it possible in 2015 to rename Wikimedia domains?
The usual domain name structure for a Wikimedia project is
languageCode.project.org: en.wikipedia.org, it.wikisource.org, etc.
In a few projects the language code in the domain is different from the
actual language code: 'als' is a code for
