…are renamed implicitly, ONLY is not allowed, and the command cannot…(and
drop the mention of table renaming).

Or:

“When applied to a partitioned table’s name only the parent is changed,
partitions must be renamed separately. However, column or constraint
renaming must be done on the parent without ONLY, the corresponding
partition columns or constraints will be renamed implicitly.”

I find the repeated use of “table” “name(d)” and “rename(d)” in one
sentence worth avoiding.
