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.

Other requests

[edit]
CommonsDelinker: Replace File:ChatGPT-Logo.svg (LU,GU) with File:OpenAI logo 2025 (symbol).svg (LU,GU) across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: Replace an independently redrawn and geometrically inaccurate rendering of the OpenAI Blossom with the officially sourced current SVG. OpenAI’s public guidelines at https://openai.com/brand/ require the logo to be used exactly as provided and prohibit modified or unapproved variations. Both files are SVGs and the replacement preserves the intended subject while correcting visual accuracy. COI disclosure: the requester works on OpenAI Brand Identity.

Category moves

[edit]
Latest comment: 6 months ago6 comments6 people in discussion
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.)

Prisoners of war in World War II

Rename Category:World War II prisoners of war by country of detention to Category:Prisoners of war in World War II by country of detention (0 entries moved, 10 to go) (Requested by ~2026-33766-98)
Reason provided: Standardize name with parent category Prisoners of war in World War II – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:World War II prisoners of war held by Australia to Category:Prisoners of war in Australia in World War II (0 entries moved, 1 to go) (Requested by ~2026-33766-98)
Reason provided: Standardize name with parent category Prisoners of war in World War II – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Captives in Slovenia in World War II to Category:Prisoners of war in Slovenia in World War II (1 entries moved, 15 to go) (Requested by ~2026-33766-98)

[edit]
Rename Category:Category navigational templates for municipalities to Category:Category navigational templates for municipalities in Cuba (0 entries moved, 23 to go) (Requested by 176.1.10.36)
Reason provided: All templates in the category are for municipalities in Cuba now, see Category:Category navigational templates for Cuba. A Category:Category navigational templates for municipalities in Cuba is better than 2 categories with the same 15 subcategories. – Admin: Approve
Other idea for this move: Only the content of the category should be moved to the new name. The templates have the category directly in the template, so the bot can move them.
Therefore I created Category:Category navigational templates for municipalities in Cuba, then the bot can't move the category, but only all templates in the category.
Afterwards, the old category can and should be refilled with 3 subcategories and 3 templates that are now in Category:Category navigational templates for country subdivision. —176.1.10.36 17:43, 29 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
Rename Category:Výstavba tramvajového kolejiště na Václavském náměstí (2024) to Category:Výstavba tramvajového kolejiště na Václavském náměstí (3 entries moved, 1,704 to go) (Requested by Osidor)
Reason provided: Correct name is without the year. – Admin: Approve
I don’t understand any Czech, but please read the editnotice above the edit window or read the beginning of this page: no controversial moves here.
Looking at the two version histories of the category now and of the target name of the category, I see some kind of edit war since yesterday about the name of the category, a revert after the move and the category not being anymore on the name, where the older category versions since 2024 were. These are on the target name now, therefore I think, the redirect shouldn’t be deleted now with those old category versions. Is it possible to get the old category versions until yesterday back to the actual category name which has been edited very much since yesterday by merging all those versions there? I’ve rarely seen a Commons category which has been edited so much on one day by so many different users. Another category move now has to be discussed between those users. —176.1.17.247 19:32, 19 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
And please note that there are 1,291 files in that category, so that every move is a big workload for bot and servers. There really has to be a consensus first for a category name, where it can stay without further moves. But it would be a very good idea to create subcategories for those many files. —176.1.16.30 22:10, 20 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
I should leave the year in the category name. Who knows whether there won't be another exhibition soon? --Schlosser67 (talk) 09:14, 5 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Reason provided: Adding a disambiguation (Chiesa di Sant'Ambrogio means just Saint Ambrose's church). I added also template:move because I didn't know this page, but it isn't controversial at all. – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Publishers’ bindings (talk) to Category:Publishers' bindings (186 entries moved, 1,061 to go) (Requested by Thoughtfortheday)

Rename Category:Comparison of Elephas and Loxodonta to Category:Elephas maximus and Loxodonta africana (0 entries moved, 13 to go) (Requested by Ellicrum)
Reason provided: Standardization of titles of similar categories – Admin: Approve
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)Reply
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)Reply

Manual replacements

[Edit]

Non-SVG to SVG replacement
Used on too many pages
CommonsDelinker: Replace File:North America (orthographic projection).svg (LU,GU) with File:Northern America including Mexico (orthographic projection).svg (LU,GU) across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: File renamed: Criterion 2 (meaningless or ambiguous name) · With current name, people keep overwriting the file to add Central America or to remove Mexico. But those are other maps we already have in other files. We also need this one and it must stay as it is.
CommonsDelinker: Replace File:OOjs UI icon puzzle-ltr.svg (LU,GU) with File:Codex icon puzzle.svg (LU,GU) across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: Duplicate: Exact or scaled-down duplicate: File:Codex icon puzzle.svg
CommonsDelinker: Replace File:Flag of France (1976–2020).svg (LU,GU) with File:Flag of France (1974–2020).svg (LU,GU) across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: File renamed: Criterion 3 (obvious error) · The alias for this variant at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Country_data_France is 1974. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_France used to say that this variant was created 1974, citing, https://drapeaux-sfv.org/actus/communications/A-propos-du-bleu-du-drapeau-tricolore. Someone changed that to 1976 without changing the source and without providing an edit summary. I just changed it back (see also my edit summary there: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Flag_of_France&diff=prev&oldid=1368909694).
CommonsDelinker: Replace File:Flag of France (lighter variant).svg (LU,GU) with File:Flag of France (1974–2020).svg (LU,GU) across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: File renamed: Redirect to duplicate file, but the filename was not changed in the language versions because Delinker did not perform the task.

 Comment: The script recorded 361,630 uses for this old redirect alone. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 07:10, 26 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Used on too many pages, older redirects have to be checked, furthermore, the usage in articles and templates must be manually changed.
CommonsDelinker: Replace File:Flag of Honduras (2022–present).svg (LU,GU) with File:Flag of Honduras (2022–2026).svg (LU,GU) across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: File renamed: Criterion 3 (obvious error) · flag has been reverted to older variant 1 2
CommonsDelinker: Replace File:Flag of Honduras (1949–2022).svg (LU,GU) with File:Flag of Honduras (1949–2022, 2026–present).svg (LU,GU) across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: File renamed: Criterion 3 (obvious error) · flag has been reverted to older variant 1 2
Used on too many pages and also older redirects that have to be checked
Used on too many pages on en.wikisource.org & vi.wikisource.org discussion pages
CommonsDelinker: Replace File:Francesco Hayez 027.jpg (LU,GU) with File:Francesco Hayez - Odalisca che legge, 1867.jpg (LU,GU) across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: File renamed: Criterion 2 · name of the painting instead of number
Other
This must be done manually due the many moves.
Not appropriate for batch move, as some usages are for Mars, and others for male + used on too many pages
CommonsDelinker: Replace File:Mars symbol.svg (LU,GU) with File:Male symbol.svg (LU,GU) across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: File renamed: 50:50 ratio is male
Will need to ensure sizing is correct + used on too many pages + Non-SVG to SVG replacement
CommonsDelinker: Replace File:Blank.jpg (LU,GU) with File:3by2white.svg (LU,GU) across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: better svg image
This must be done manually, as some language versions include both variants in their articles.
CommonsDelinker: Replace File:Civil Ensign of Saudi Arabia.svg (LU,GU) with File:Civil Ensign of Saudi Arabia (obverse).svg (LU,GU) across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: This file and wiki pages should contain the commonly depicted obverse side of the flag, not the reverse. After the universal replacement, that file should be renamed to File:Civil Ensign of Saudi Arabia (reverse).svg.
Uncategorized
CommonsDelinker: Replace File:IFIS Vertical normal.svg (LU,GU) with File:FIAV Vertical normal.svg (LU,GU) across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: File renamed: Harmonisation of names of FIAV icons.
CommonsDelinker: Replace File:20W 2026 path.png (LU,GU) with File:Bang-Lang 2026 path.png (LU,GU) across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: File renamed: Named by RSMC Tokyo, provided by Vietnam
CommonsDelinker: Replace File:Yorushika Logo.jpg (LU,GU) with File:Yorushika logo.svg (LU,GU) across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: SVG logo

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

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)Reply

i agree that the file replacement with (verified) svg should be permitted. GioviPen GP msg 15:05, 4 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
@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)Reply
Mostly, because a few svg enthusiasts did very bad conversions to svg, guessing colors etc. and communities got pissed off because we were replacing correct pngs with incorrect svg interpretations of those pngs. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 15:17, 6 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

 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)Reply
 Strong support for allowing CommonsDelinker to replace non-SVG with SVG. Maybe we need a rule of type "do NOT request more than 3 such replacements during one day". PS: CommonsDelinker is currently on strike NOT doing ANY global replacements at all. Taylor 49 (talk) 10:34, 25 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
 Comment Upgraded to RFC and listed at Template:Centralized discussion. My proposal is now:
  • remove the technical restriction from CommonsDelinker making it refuse PNG to SVG replacements
  • make a rule "a user may request maximally 3 PNG to SVG replacements per 24 hours, requests moved by a sysop from an accessible page to a protected page where CommonsDelinker picks them from do NOT count to the limit"

 Oppose SVG being a text format and not a graphics format leads to issues that do not exist with JPG/PNG. Automated changes without regard for local policy and opinion is a bad idea. Traumnovelle (talk) 22:13, 2 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
 Comment You cast your vote after the discussion was closed. Also, the argument "SVG being a text format and not a graphics format" is strange and probably results from lack of understanding how MediaWiki handles SVG. Taylor 49 (talk) 20:18, 5 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

As an admin, I'm going to say that consensus here is clear, and we do not need further discussion about whether to drop this restriction. However, I don't know how to drop the restriction in the bot that does the file moves, nor who normally maintains that bot. Can someone weigh in on that. - Jmabel ! talk 00:54, 5 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

 Comment There are some cases where the transfers are questionable and perhaps should be discussed first. Generally, this is a massive transfer of category names that follows the logic of what's been done in the Spanish Wikipedia, but other Wikipedias (like the English or French ones) don't follow this approach. Therefore, I don't consider the request appropriate, since Commons should have its own criteria and not operate (in this case) as a derivative of a particular Wikipedia.

Category:Journalists from Congo

[edit]
Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Category:Journalists from Congo is empty because Congo is't a country but a river and 2 countries are named after it and have their own categories: Category:Journalists from the Republic of the Congo and Category:Journalists from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

CommonsDelinker: Replace File:Ethiopia administrative boundaries.svg (LU,GU) with File:Central Ethiopia on Ethiopia administrative map.svg (LU,GU) across all Wikimedia projects. Reason: The latter file is more accurate as it shows the recent central region of Ethiopia. The former should be ditched instead.

De l'Ordal > d'Ordal

[edit]
Latest comment: 4 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Rename Category:Muntanyes de l'Ordal to Category:Muntanyes d'Ordal (0 entries moved, 82 to go) (Requested by It's moon)
Reason provided: The place name Ordal does not take an article. The correct form is always without L'. E.g., les muntanyes d'Ordal, vaig a Ordal, la festa major d'Ordal, el préssec d'Ordal, la piscina d'Ordal, visc a Ordal, la serra d'Ordal, Sant Pau d'Ordal. "L'Ordal" is incorrect and should never be used. The only exception being Ca l'Ordal, where Ordal refers to a surname (anthroponym) rather than a place (toponym), and follows the Ca l' contraction for "casa de" (house of). – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Torre de l'Ordal to Category:Torre d'Ordal (0 entries moved, 5 to go) (Requested by It's moon)
Reason provided: Or alternatively, Category:Torre del Telègraf d'Ordal, per the earlier reasoning. – Admin: Approve

Kanstancin Halkoŭski > Konstantinas Galkauskas

[edit]
Latest comment: 1 day ago1 comment1 person in discussion

A Lithuanian composer from Lithuania – Konstantinas Galkauskas, usurped as "a Belarussian composer", allegedly named "Kanstancin Halkoŭski" (used rarely only in Belarussian press; he also had his name alternatively written in Russian and Polish sources respectively in Russian and Polish there and there). Please move to his very standard Lithuanian name – Konstantinas Galkauskas.
