Description Maxim 2008-08-29 13:57:21 UTC
On at least two occasions, renames by en.wiki bureaucrats over users with large edit counts (10K+ edits) have caused multiple log entries. Two examples are <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=renameuser&user=The+Rambling+Man&page=User%3AJonathan+Cardy&year=&month=-1> and <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=renameuser&user=Rlevse&page=User%3AChet+B+Long&year=&month=-1>.

From experience, I think multiple log entries result if a bureaucrat resubmits a rename that has timed out, thinking it has failed. Renames involving users with many edits are most likely to time out.

So it can be something like <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=&user=Maxim&page=Main+Page&year=&month=-1>, where the log entries were about 15 seconds apart, and I had done multiple clicks on the confirm button.
Comment 3 Will 2008-08-29 14:25:09 UTC
Yes, I think it's the same phenomenon.
Comment 4 Andrew Garrett 2008-08-29 14:39:17 UTC
Might be fixed in r40230.

Does this still occur?
