Description Bryan Davis 2014-09-09 19:52:52 UTC Add an async javascript check for the availability of the new username. This would be similar to the check done in the new user signup form, but it needs to hit a custom endpoint rather than the user search api endpoint. See design document at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/SUL_finalisation/Renaming_requests_design#Special:GlobalRenameRequest for additional details.
