I noticed on Wikipedia:File mover section #2.1 What files should not be renamed?, it said files should not be renamed if the renaming consisted of just adding spaces. Now I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason for this. The section itself states it's as a matter of principle. What is the priciple/reason for this policy? -- Dutchy45 ( talk) 15:47, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
Hello!
c:COM:FNC#6 is already pretty much a de facto criterion but can it be made a de jure one? — Preceding text originally posted on Wikipedia talk:File mover ( diff) by Jonteemil ( talk⋅ contribs) 23:07, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
Non-controversial maintenance and bug fixes, including fixing double extensions, invalid or incorrect extensions, character handling problems, and other similar technical issues. [1]
- ^ This is not a catch-all for anything that doesn't fit one of the above. This is for specific technical problems, generally which have a Phabricator task and have been the subject of community discussion.
Pinging @ CptViraj, DannyS712, Davey2010, Emperork, Swarm There is nothing in this policy about double extensions. On the Commons policy, c:Commons:File renaming#Which files should be renamed? this is clearly covered by #6 "Non-controversial maintenance and bug fixes, including fixing double extensions, invalid or incorrect extensions, character handling problems, and other similar technical issues". We don't have this rationale, and that's a bit of an issue as User:Jonteemil has just requested (JUST as I was approved as a file mover!) over 100 moves for double extensions like File:Green Crystal Ties, Volume 1.Garage Band Rebels.JPEG.jpg. — Alexis Jazz ( talk or ping me) 10:06, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
I think the ".JPEG.jpg" may be worth renaming especially if they're recent uploadsbut most of the files in the category were uploaded years ago. — Alexis Jazz ( talk or ping me) 20:36, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
I just dealt with a few requests by User:McVahl. I found excuses to grant all but one. One I very nearly declined was File:Ust civil law logo.svg to File:Coat of arms of the UST Faculty of Civil Law.svg. (I moved it to File:Coat of arms of the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Civil Law.svg instead) I'd argue that in this context "Ust" could be considered an obvious error (should be UST when going with the initialism) and as a whole the name was fairly ambiguous.
But I don't think it's wrong to call the image a logo. (which was the original motivation for the rename request) I think coats of arms are a subtype of logos, especially when used in the modern day. Am I right? — Alexis Jazz ( talk or ping me) 11:49, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
As a matter of principle, it is best to leave all files with generally valid names at their locations, even if slightly better names may exist.— Alexis Jazz ( talk or ping me) 00:08, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
