Any chance of this getting done? Now each and every bot or Module or script working with something related to the wiki in context of WD has to have some ridiculous workarounds because of this. Like in my CEE Spring statistics bot I have to have lines like
if ("be-x-old.wikipedia.org".equals(wname)) {
wname = "be-tarask.wikipedia.org";
}, Module:WikimediaCEETable has line
if iw == "be_x_old" then iw = "be-tarask" endfor the same thing. This is just stupid besides all the other things it is.
Tarashkevitsa Belarusian isn't that huge of a WP. Can't you just replace all instances of the old name in the db with the new name, then force regenerate those cache pages you are afraid might be broken because of it and have it dealt with thus? If it will involve something like 20 minutes of some WD pages rendered non-perfectly this it pretty bearable temporary side-effect of the work. Well or whatever other way you might see possible. I am very afraid as to this task not to take that much time as the original task leading to this one took.
