--- Comment #1 from Philippe Verdy <[email protected]> ---
Note that Wikipedia should not just rename the wiki, it should still maintain a
domain name alias for preserving links to Wikipedia from other sites.
This means that the two domains will have to be supported, even if "zh-min-nan"
becomes an alias in interwiki prefixes, and as CNAME alias in the DNS. And
these aliases will need to be preserved for long (Interwiki prefixes could be
fixed, but there are tons of templates and pages to change before this becomes
possible).

So the first step is to add the domain name alias as a CNAME and make sure that
the wiki server accepts this hostname (it requires a reconfiguration of the
webserver itself, then adding a CNAME aliasing of "nan.*" to "zh-min-nan.*" to
test that the web server accepts both host names, then chaning the DNS again to
reverse the CNAME aliasing, then adding the interwiki prefix aliasing, and
reconfiguring all other wiki servers to support the new prefix).

This done, we'll be able to start the cleanup of templates, and some bots may
work at ficing the interwiki links spread on lots of pages for each wiki. For
templates this cannot be made safely by a bot.
