--- Comment #20 from Deryck Chan <deryckc...@gmail.com> ---
As I understand from the discussion so far, there are four diferent things that
we are planning to be "rename", listed in ascending order of difficulty:
1. Change the interwiki prefixes (old-style / hard-coded links)
Trivial, because it just involves *adding* interwiki links. In most cases the
old links should remain valid for the sake of backward compatibility.
2. Change the Wikidata language code for centralised interwiki links
3. Change the domain names of the wikis
More difficult, though Philippe seems to have thought it out.
4. Rename the database
It seems that the process is stalled because 4 cannot be done safely at the
moment, but for the be-tarask, zh-min-nan, zh-yue, and zh-classical 4 is far
less unimportant than 1-3. Most editors and users won't encounter the database
names very often.
A reasonable approach would be to single out those four wikis with wrong
language codes, and perform 1-3 without 4, so the editors are happy. The
renaming of the database can be done at a later point in time under the hood.
