A Link to the Rename Account Page on a Purged Journal's Page

EDIT: Okay, I edited some of the terminology in this post to clarify that I mean only purged journals. I had been mirroring the FAQs' wording, which use "deleted and purged" to denote purged journals, but this can be obviously quite confusing. ;)

Title
A Link to the Rename Account Page on a Purged Journal's Page

Short, concise description of the idea
For convenience, I would like to have a link to the Rename Account page on any page that says that a journal has been "deleted and purged."

Full description of the idea
The summary says it all. ;) As far as implementation goes, it would just be a text link to the Rename Account page saying something to the effect of, "Want to buy a rename token or use an existing one to claim this username?"
An ordered list of benefits
  • More convenient for someone to start the process of claiming a purged username that they want.
  • Purely speculation on my part, but perhaps a little more revenue for LiveJournal as a side effect from the added convenience.
An ordered list of problems/issues involved
  • The time and trouble for developers to add this to the pages of purged journals.
  • I... really can't think of any other possible reason. =/ Serious ones, anyway. XD

purged accounts, user interface, account renaming, § no status
