The file mover user right allows users experienced in working with files to rename them, subject to policy, with the ease that autoconfirmed users already enjoy when renaming Wikipedia articles.
In general, file mover is only granted to trusted users who:
Experience with the equivalent tool at Commons and other relevant experience with media files may be taken into account.
Tools to assist in evaluating a candidate's suitability:
Note if a request was recently declined for a given user/permission, a bot will comment with a link to that discussion. You may wish to ping the administrator who declined the previous request asking for their input before responding to the new request.
To grant the permission:

To respond to the request:
{{User:MusikBot/archivenow}}
Helper script: The above process can be expedited using the script User:MusikAnimal/userRightsManager.js. Once installed, click "assign permissions" on any PERM page, enter optional closing remarks in the popup dialog, and the script will grant the right with a permalink to the discussion, and issue the corresponding talk page template.
To override where the bot archives, use {{User:MusikBot/override|d}}
for approved, or {{User:MusikBot/override|nd}}
for denied. This will override any other {{
done}} or {{
not done}} templates, and make the bot ignore the user's rights.
To re-open a request, deactivate the resolution template using the code {{tl|template name}}
, as with {{
done}} or {{
not done}}. Strikethroughs like <s>{{done}}</s>
or other means to suppress the original resolution template will still be registered as resolved by the bot. Only deactivating or removing the template will work.
All requests are archived at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Archive as approved or denied. This is done as a historical reference, namely so that admins can review previously declined requests.
N hours after the last comment was made on a request (as specified by the bot's config), the discussion is removed from that page and an entry containing a PermaLink to the discussion is added to the archives, noting the user and the permission. This archiving process is fully automated and should not be attempted manually.
For convenience, the requests for permissions pages are clerked by MusikBot. See User:MusikBot/PermClerk for more information on the tasks and how to configure them.
