the topic)
Due to internal (and growing) complexity of the mediawiki software, and WMF
installation (regarding numerous plugins and services/servers), this is a
non trivial task. It also involves many moving pieces and many

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

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.

In the past when requests to rename such domains were raised, the usual
replies were along the lines of it's impossible or it's not worth the
technical effort, but I don't know the details.
Is this still correct in 2015?

My answer already assumed that as the only way, hence the downtime. :-)
Thank you for raising the discussion!
