Duration to wait for an usurpation[edit]
I noticed that, as of this writing, every pending request on WP:CHUU is set for a one month waiting period, same as on Meta. However, to my understanding (and per the heading below each section), on enwiki we only need to wait one week after informing the target user before renaming. I'm not sure if there was a consensus elsewhere to extend the waiting period to one month.
As far as I'm aware, the current convention is due to the fact that WP:CHUU predates the global rename tool, so some of its procedures were grandfathered in. WP:CHUU is only for usurping accounts whose home wikis are the English Wikipedia; accounts whose home wikis are on other wikis need to be usurped via Meta, and go through the one month waiting period.
If there's consensus to extend the waiting period to one month here, I'm curious to know, but if not, all of those requests can currently be processed, as they're all past the one week waiting period. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 00:45, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- I think a seven-day hold should be enough. We've recently introduced the 30-day hold from Meta, but I don't see any issue with going back to a seven-day hold for future requests. Since the processing time for old requests was also seven days, I'll go ahead and process pending requests for now. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:06, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- Sounds good! —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 22:57, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
