Please add the following text to the top of this page:

{{tmbox
| type = notice
| text = Please note that, due to [[phab:T148242]], '''no renames will be processed''' from '''00:00 November 20, 2016 (UTC)''' till '''00:00 November 27, 2016 (UTC)'''.
}}

That comes out as...

This is to inform editors about the aforementioned global rename blackout so that they'll know why requests aren't being processed for a full week. The notice should be removed after 00:00 November 27, 2016 (UTC). —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 03:05, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

• Done, with a bit more details than initially requested. Please make a new protected-edit-request once the banner can be removed. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 04:31, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Global renames are expected to be disabled for a little while longer although we don't know exactly when. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 12:56, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Due to some technical issues, the changes that were supposed to be done by the script were not completed; renames were reopened temporarily to give global renamers time to clear out the backlog. Renames will be disabled again for about another week, hopefully without any more issues. So, please change the following text:

{{tmbox

The maintenance script is now done, hopefully we won't have another kerfuffle like we did last time. Thanks. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 14:52, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
