To discuss the operation of this page, please leave a message at "User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands/talk" or at the Village Pump.

This page is for editors who are not administrators to request for categories to be renamed and for files to be replaced by other files across all Wikimedia projects.

To request for a category to be renamed, go to the "Category moves" and follow the instructions.
To request for a file to be replaced by another file, for example, because the original file has been deleted or renamed, go to the appropriate sub-section of the "Image replacement requests" section and type the following command at the bottom of the relevant list: "{{universal replace|[OLD NAME.jpg]|[NEW NAME OR ANOTHER FILE.jpg]|reason=STATE THE REASON FOR THE REQUEST HERE.}}".
- Requests relating to renamed files is for requesting occurrences of an old file name to be replaced with the new file name it has been renamed to. Click on the link in the sub-section.
- Other requests is for listing other requests such as replacing one file with a different one.
- Manual replacements is for listing files that must be handled manually. This sub-section is for experienced editors.

Please read the warnings below carefully before making any requests. Thanks.

Warnings

Please note:

No controversial name changes. All moves have to follow the language policy. Please do not request name changes that you know may be controversial (this includes, for example, renaming locations into a different local language—even if "that is the official name used there"). Do check file talk pages for objections before requesting a change here. If you wish to request such moves, please add the {{Move}} template to the category pages, or use the Categories for discussion procedure. This allows discussion on the issue to take place and objections—if any—to be made. You may wish to alert other editors to the discussion by leaving a message at the Village Pump.

If you challenge a request added here, please simply remove it and re-paste it below the "Category moves to be discussed" header down this page and add your reason for challenging it. It would also be kind to inform the requester (if signed) and invite them to discuss the requested name change.

Adding interwikis. Please include as many interlanguage links (interwikis) as possible in categories to be moved.

No replacement of images in other formats with SVGs. To avoid World War III, CommonsDelinker will ignore a command to replace an image if the new image is in an SVG format and the original is not.

Updating references to the new category name. It is the duty of the requester of a category move to update all references to the new category name where needed. This part of the task is not automated. (Use the "What links here" tab to find out which categories or pages are still linked to the old category name.)

MediaWiki limitation. If you add hundreds of requests at the same time, note that the MediaWiki software isn't able to process thousands of templates correctly for display. Thus, the statement "0 entries moved, 0 to go" may be inaccurate.

Bot problem. If the CommonsDelinker bot that carries out the tasks on this page is stuck for too long or you encounter other technical problems, please contact Magnus Manske.

Image replacement requests

To request for a file to be replaced by another file while fulfilling your work as a filemover (that is, if you moved a file, not if you feel that a file should be replaced with a better-looking one), use the "Click here to add a request relating only to a renamed file" link below, and add your request to the bottom of the page that loads using the following command: {{universal replace|OLD NAME.jpg|NEW NAME OR ANOTHER FILE.jpg|reason=STATE THE REASON FOR THE REQUEST HERE}}. Don't add any wikitext markup or sign with "~~~~" inside the template. If you are not a filemover or the replacement is not part of your work as a filemover, please add requests to the "Other requests" queue. If a request is potentially controversial, make sure you have sought consensus for it first on the file talk page or at "User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands/talk".

To request for a file to be renamed, do not list it here. Instead, tag it with {{Rename}} or use the "Move" function in the toolbar at the top of the file description page.

Category moves

Category:Pages with template:bots

Request for a non controversial name change of a category:

All moves/name changes have to follow Commons policy. Please do not request changes that may be controversial.

You are fully responsible for the requested category move.

Please remember to include an explanation and your username to new requests. This makes it easier for admins to process them.

If requesting multiple moves for the same reason, please copy-and-paste the reason in.

Good explanations are short, clear, and concise, such as "typo", "full name", "consistency with related categories", and so on. Longer explanations are useful in complicated issues.

Use the following command template (please fill out all fields and stick on the exact format):

{{move cat|Old cat name|New cat name|3=Explanation|user={{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}}

Example

{{move cat|Nice, Palais de Nice|Palais de Nice|3=The first word "Nice" is unnecessary.|user={{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}}

Updating references to the new category name is the duty of the requester. Update all references to the new category name where needed. This part of the task is not automated. (Use the "What links here" tab to find out which categories or pages are still linked to the old category name.)

This page has a backlog that requires the attention of experienced admins. (recount)

Rename Category:Boogie Board (Note-taking device) to Category:Boogie Board (0 entries moved, 7 to go) (Requested by Belbury)
Reason provided: No need for the disambiguation – Admin: Approve

Reason provided: misspelling, as in de:Wurzel-Jesse-Fenster (Groslay), Durchkopplung missing (Leerzeichen in Komposita = misspellings in German) – Admin: Approve

Rename Category:Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche (Vernich) to Category:Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche (Großvernich) (0 entries moved, 14 to go) (Requested by 176.1.20.205)
Reason provided: as de:Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche (Großvernich), de:Großvernich is an Ortsteil of Weilerswist – Admin: Approve

Rename Category:Kuppelmosaik Aachener Dom to Category:Kuppelmosaik im Aachener Dom (0 entries moved, 88 to go) (Requested by 176.1.20.205)
Reason provided: grammar – Admin: Approve

This category name should be in English. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:57, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

Then the names have to be translated. Up to now, there is no English in those names, and they all are misspelled without correct grammar. —176.1.1.46 14:28, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

Rename Category:Sanierung Barbarossaleuchter 2024 to Category:Sanierung des Barbarossaleuchters in Aachen 2024 (0 entries moved, 20 to go) (Requested by 176.1.20.205)
Reason provided: grammar and missing location of the "Leuchter" of the Aachen Cathedral, "Aachen" as in the parent category Category:Barbarossaleuchter (Aachen) – Admin: Approve

Rename Category:St. Hedwig (Wehrden (Saar)) to Category:St. Hedwig (Wehrden, Völklingen) (0 entries moved, 17 to go) (Requested by 176.1.13.166)
Reason provided: to avoid double brackets, and there is no article about the church in any wiki: Wehrden is part of (Stadtteil of) Völklingen in Saarland, not part of the river Saar. – Admin: Approve

Rename Category:Schaffhauser Straße (Wehrden Saar) to Category:Schaffhauser Straße (Wehrden, Völklingen) (0 entries moved, 9 to go) (Requested by 176.1.13.166)
Reason provided: Misspelling without comma behind Wehrden, because there exists no location "Wehrden Saar", and there is no article about the street in any wiki. Better: standard naming with "Stadtteil, city" instead of "Stadtteil, river". Wehrden is part of (Stadtteil of) Völklingen in Saarland, not part of the river Saar. – Admin: Approve

Rename Category:Richter Window in the Cologne Cathedral to Category:Richter window in the Cologne Cathedral (0 entries moved, 25 to go) (Requested by 176.1.13.166)
Reason provided: misspelling, this is a category about a window by the living artist Gerhard Richter, a Richter window, not a proper name of the window – Admin: Approve

Comment: I'm not sure about this category move, because: If Gerhard Richter did not accept the photos here (he is 93 years old and a well-known German artist), they have to be deleted, because there is no FOP in Germany inside churches or other buildings. --176.1.13.166 22:23, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

Rename Category:Charles Knight (stained glass artist) to Category:Stained-glass windows by Charles Knight (0 entries moved, 9 to go) (Requested by 176.1.9.52)
Reason provided: There exists already a person category with his paintings, in this category are only his stained-glass windows and it’s now subcategory of the person category, thus it should have a name now only for his stained-glass windows – Admin: Approve

Comment: If there’s no FOP in England for photos of church windows, then I suppose that the photographs of his windows in England have to be deleted, because he died in 1990. That’s not 70 years ago and he can’t have accepted uploaded photographs taken after his death. And there also are painting in his Category:Charles Knight (1901-1990) that are not old enough. Someone should take a look at all that. He was landscape painter and stained-glass artist, see also en:Charles Knight (artist). —176.1.9.52 16:20, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Rename Category:Die Glasmalerei : Allgemein verständlich. T. 1 (1882) to Category:Die Glasmalerei. Allgemein verständlich dargestellt von Dr. H. Oidtmann. T. 1 (1882) (0 entries moved, 62 to go) (Requested by 176.1.5.94)
Reason provided: misspelling of book title: The category name doesn’t contain all words of the title, and in German, there is never a space before a ":", but the correct book title doesn’t contain any ":", see title page in category description. – Admin: Approve

Rename Category:Stykkisholmúr Rear Range Light to Category:Súgandiseyjarviti (0 entries moved, 27 to go) (Requested by Steinninn)
Reason provided: Obvious error – Admin: Approve

Rename Category:International Islamic University of Malaysia to Category:International Islamic University Malaysia (0 entries moved, 54 to go) (Requested by EmpAhmadK)
Reason provided: The name of the university does not have "of" and must therefore be reflected in the category name for consistency. – Admin: Approve

Rename Category:Promenade Bellerive to Category:Parc de la Promenade-Bellerive (0 entries moved, 112 to go) (Requested by Ptaff)
Reason provided: correctly named on the enwiki article, the name of this park is in fact https://montreal.ca/lieux/parc-de-la-promenade-bellerive – Admin: Approve

Rename Category:The Four Evangelists of Münnerstädter altar to Category:The Four Evangelists of Münnerstädter Altar (0 entries moved, 24 to go) (Requested by 176.1.3.68)
Reason provided: misspelling, German "Münnerstädter Altar" as in Category:Münnerstädter Altar, "Münnerstädter altar" isn’t English neither, because the municipality's name is Münnerstadt – Admin: Approve

Rename Category:Landschaftsschutzgebiet Landschaftsschutzgebiete von 1968 in Bremen to Category:Landschaftsschutzgebiete von 1968 in Bremen (0 entries moved, 44 to go) (Requested by 176.1.17.221)

Rename Category:Elephants with lions to Category:Loxodonta africana and Panthera leo (0 entries moved, 8 to go) (Requested by Ellicrum)
Reason provided: Standardization of titles of similar categories – Admin: Approve

@Ellicrum: There is at least one image of a lion with an Indian elephant in that category, making your proposed name inaccurate. The common names are fine here. The same goes for Category:Leopards with other animals, Category:Lions with other animals, and Category:Giraffes with lions. —Zacwill (talk) 12:56, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Zacwill:

I had also noticed the presence of that illustration of a lion with an Asian elephant in a circus setting. My initial plan was simply to move that file to the more general categories "Panthera leo with other species" and "Elephas maximus with other species". So the category in question here should indeed be reserved for the two African mammals, where there are still a few dozen uncategorized files in savanna environments.

That said, I can understand your hesitation regarding the renaming of this specific category. However, we are not dealing with the same situation for the other categories listed here. Vernacular names can certainly work (and of course, we can keep the redirect), but the idea remains to standardize the titling with all other similar categories, which mostly rely on the scientific names. As for "Giraffes with lions" specifically, I don’t see why we would use the preposition in this case. --Ellicrum _{{bablute [...]}} 21:26, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Comment: The page Institution:Castle of Belœil should also be moved to Institution:Château de Belœil, now it has another name than all the categories for the building, and the page title is not the same as the Wikidata labels in any language or the Wikipedia article pages. —176.1.0.128 20:03, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Thinking about it once again, category names like Category:Gardens of Château of Belœil, Category:Orangery of Château of Belœil, Category:Paintings in the Château of Belœil or Category:Portrait paintings in the Château of Belœil are not only a language mix and without proper name of the château, but also misspellings. Thus, they have to be moved anyway.

There are two possibilities for those kind of category names: 1. with a proper name (if there is one), 4 Wikipedia article names point at "Château de Belœil", or 2. as description of the (only) château in the location Belœil, Belgium (on that en-Wikipedia page it is also written this way: as "château of Belœil" with link to en:Château de Belœil). Then château is an English substantive and has to be written with lower case: "château in Belœil" or "château of Belœil", but never "Château of" with upper case as English substantive in the middle of a category name, that’s language mix and misspelling.

A Category:Château of Belœil may be correct at the beginning (even if users can’t see directly, if this language mix shall be a proper name or a description and leads to confusion), but "château of Belœil" as English substantive has to be written with lower case in a sentence and in the middle of categories, and 4 of the 5 subcategories are misspellings. Therefore, it’s much better to take Category:Château de Belœil as category name as some Wikipedias do, if the 4 misspelled subcategories shall not be moved to names with "château of Belœil" instead, but no Wikipedia takes this as article name. —176.1.0.128 08:58, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Category:Sankt Hippolyt (Eferding)

There are too many bot templates on this page without any of these stained-glass windows request now, therefore I put them onto a subpage now, then all of those template will be shown correctly again. Perhaps that’s better, because there are still so many of them left. That page can be archieved later. —176.1.1.46 05:38, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

Notification of failed moves

CommonsDelinker: Replace File:Map AP dist all shaded.png with File:Ap-districts.png across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: Updated based on changes to borders in 2015.

--Arjunaraoc (talk) 11:13, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

@Arjunaraoc: I would think that such a signficant change of image should be performed manually, rather than by the bot. — billinghurst sDrewth 04:10, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

CommonsDelinker: Replace File:Weltkarte tropen.png with File:Koppen-Geiger Map A present.svg across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: File:Weltkarte tropen.png is outdated (1992) and the equator is placed wrong. File:Koppen-Geiger Map A present.svg uses current data (2016) and has the correct equator. Can some bot please change all uses of the old one for the new please? TIA --User:H-stt 14:29, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

File:Weltkarte tropen.png depicts the position of tropical rainforests, not climate areas. --Achim (talk) 13:36, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Replace images with .svg version

I am active in the SVG project, converting raster graphics into scalable vector graphics (mainly coat of arms). The new images have a better quality but I always need to replace all occurrences of the old image in all articles, templates and in all language wikis by hand which sometimes takes longer than creating the new .svg image. I know that the bot currently will not replace raster graphics with a .svg file. This rule was made 15 years ago (in 2007 maybe .svg were not that popular), has the opinion about this rule changed or is there room for a new discussion?

As I am creating .svgs from raster graphics I need to replaces the old image manually on all sites in all MediaWiki occurrences (Wikipedia (all languages), Wikidata,...). Maxwxyz (talk) 08:52, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

i agree that the file replacement with (verified) svg should be permitted. GioviPen ^{GP msg} 15:05, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

@Krd, You were around during that time, Do you remember the main reason(s) why that rule was created? All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 21:36, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Support I strongly plead for allowing CommonsDelinker to replace PNG with SVG files because in most cases the SVG is much better and should be used instead. ChemSim (talk) 21:22, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
