Template:Rename
From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository
DocumentationThis documentation is transcluded from Template:Rename/doc.
Used to request file rename, so this template is for media only.
- For categories use {{Move}}. For any other pages, use the "move" tab (Special:MovePage/FULLPAGENAME) or {{Edit request}}.
- If you have already uploaded the same file under a new name, use {{Duplicate|the new name}} instead of {{Rename}}.
The template automatically sets the following categories:
- Category:Media requiring renaming, if at least the first parameter is given.
- Category:Incomplete media renaming requests, if the request is incomplete.
- Category:Media renaming requests needing target, if without the first or any parameter.
Usage
{{Rename |1= |2= |3= |user= }}
Or use the shorthand {{rename|The new correct name.jpg|numeric reason|Text reason for rename}}
Named parameter (3= or reason=) must be used when an equal sign appears somewhere in the text of the reason given (as for example, inside a link).
