Hello Gabriel,

Only stewards, administrators and file movers are allowed to rename images (and other files) on Commons.

That being said, users can request a file rename by first activating the gadget RenameLink via Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets subsection "Interface: Files and categories". Then an additional menu option "rename request" appears in the top menu. Subsequently an administrator or file mover (renamed) will evaluate and execute or reject the request.

I apologize if I misunderstood your question.

Regards

Isaac

Hi, I logged in twice to ISA yesterday and today and tried to change the language preference. Was told every time "Something Went Wrong! Isa might be undergoing maintenance".

Is that functional?

Besides: I commend the attempt to clean up but in future we should not have to clean up. I had proposed earlier that there is no point inviting and accepting images which are not properly described and categorized.

Cheers Ingo - Kipala
