Media in this category are believed to have incomplete, misleading, or cryptic names, and will be renamed by an administrator or a filemover. To add images to this category, please use the {{Rename}} template. If the template is improperly filled, the file will be added to the Category:Incomplete media renaming requests. If you wish to request the right to rename files, please go to Commons:Requests for rights.

To help the maintenance of renaming requests listed below, you can:

  1. Check if the rename requests conform to the guidelines at Commons:File renaming. If not, you can either leave a note at the image's talk page or remove the {{Rename}} if it is obvious that the file should not be renamed.
  2. Check the files in Category:Incomplete media renaming requests and Category:Media renaming requests needing target and fix the syntax of the {{Rename}} template.
