Media bearing this template are added to Category:Wikipedia files requiring renaming. If no suggestion is made for the new name, the media will be added to Category:Incomplete file renaming requests.

See rename criteria at Wikipedia:File mover § What files should be renamed?

Usage: {{rename media|New title|Reason for request}}

  • Do not include the "File:" prefix.
  • Remember to add the file extension (.jpg, .png, etc).
  • This is for media only. For galleries and templates, use {{move}}. For categories, see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.

Example

{{Rename media|CityisOurscover.jpg|The image's title is misspelled.}} creates:

Commons files

Files uploaded to Wikimedia Commons cannot be renamed by Wikipedia administrators or filemovers. Commons:File naming describes how Commons files should be named. In general, Commons aims to provide stable file names as there might be external file clients and file moving involves significant human and computing resources. Thus renaming should be used with caution. To request the rename of a file at Commons, follow the instructions at Commons:File renaming.
