• Problem/Question: I found an error in the template and my default language is not English. What can I do?
  • Answer: The translation into your language (en) might be outdated. Compare to Template:Rename/i18n, please.

Used to request file rename, so this template is for media only.

• For categories use {{Move}}. For any other pages, use the "move" tab (Special:MovePage/FULLPAGENAME) or {{Edit request}}.
• If you have already uploaded the same file under a new name, use {{Duplicate|the new name}} instead of {{Rename}}.

The template automatically sets the following categories:

• Category:Media requiring renaming, if at least the first parameter is given.

• Category:Incomplete media renaming requests, if the request is incomplete.

• Category:Media renaming requests needing target, if without the first or any parameter.

Usage

{{Rename |1= |2= |3= |user= }}

Named parameter (3= or reason=) must be used when an equal sign appears somewhere in the text of the reason given (as for example, inside a link).
