Template:Rename media
 | The name of this media object is misspelled, incomplete, misleading, cryptic, does not conform to an established naming convention, is largely duplicative to another name, or shadows a file name on Wikimedia Commons. It has been suggested that this media object be renamed. For further information about when to rename, see Wikipedia:File names. This request will be dealt with by an administrator or file mover with the template editor user right. (Note: This page is currently move protected so that only template editors can move the page. Please see the log for details.) Warning: the {{Rename media}} template is not meant to be used outside the File: namespace. Use {{Requested move}} on the talk page of the page that you believe should be moved instead. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
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.
