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.

Category moves

[edit]
Latest comment: 3 hours ago20 comments13 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.)

[edit]
Rename Category:Orlando Citrus Bowl Stadium to Category:Camping World Stadium (0 entries moved, 37 to go) (Requested by The Bushranger)
Reason provided: Current name of facility. – Admin: Approve
@The Bushranger: The target category exists already, therefore the bot isn’t able to move a category there. It normally creates a redirect on the category page instead that shall be moved. In the end, there will be two redirects pointing to each other. The target redirect page has to be deleted before the move.
@Auntof6: wrote some days ago that users should request speedy deletion for those redirect pages on the target name before requesting category moves here. Could you please request speedy deletion with COM:CSD#G6 (uncontroversial maintenance) before those kind of requests?
@Mdaniels5757: On User:CommonsDelinker/commands, there is also such a request with existing target page that the bot can’t move: Category:Sports in Miami by year to Category:Sports in Miami, Florida by year, it’s not possible for the bot to move this category page, it can only move the content of the category and create a redirect instead of moving the category. And I think, there have been more of those existing redirect pages for those Florida categories yesterday. If those redirect pages weren’t deleted before the bot got those move requests, it should be checked, if the bot created new redirects to those target redirect pages instead, like it did for example here because of this redirect page. Those categories which weren’t moved by bot should now be moved manually. And such kind of bot requests for category moves should not be placed onto the bot page, if the target page is existing already. —176.1.17.247 08:19, 20 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
176.1.17.247: Thank you for the ping.
@The Bushranger and Mdaniels5757: : I deleted the target page for the move request on User:CommonsDelinker/commands. That move should be processed starting within the next 10 minutes. -- Auntof6 (talk) 09:27, 20 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
Rename Category:Coats of arms of the Latin Empire to Category:Attributed coats of arms of the Latin Empire (0 entries moved, 8 to go) (Requested by Qbli2mHd)
Reason provided: Includes arms of Philip of Courtenay, titular Latin emperor after Byzantium retook Constantinople; these were later attributed to previous Latin emperors. – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Flags of the Latin Empire to Category:Attributed flags of the Latin Empire (0 entries moved, 9 to go) (Requested by Qbli2mHd)
Reason provided: Designs based on the arms of Philip of Courtenay. – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Ziba King cemetery to Category:King Cemetery (Fort Ogden, Florida) (0 entries moved, 14 to go) (Requested by The Bushranger)
Reason provided: The correct name of this cemetery is "King Cemetery": [1] – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Rose Hill Cemetery (Tarpon Springs, Florida) to Category:Rose Cemetery (Tarpon Springs, Florida) (0 entries moved, 10 to go) (Requested by The Bushranger)
Reason provided: Correct name of cemetery is "Rose Cemetery", not "Rose Hill Cemetery" [2], [3] – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Dodge Journey (JS) to Category:Dodge Journey (JC/JS) (0 entries moved, 145 to go) (Requested by The Bushranger)
Reason provided: The chassis code for the Journey was changed from JC to JS, so both are valid – Admin: Approve
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
@Belbury: I think the disambiguation is needed. There is something else commonly called boogie board. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:34, 30 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Rename Category:Wurzel Jesse Fenster (St. Pantaleon) to Category:Wurzel-Jesse-Fenster (St. Pantaleon) (0 entries moved, 2 to go) (Requested by 176.1.20.205)
Reason provided: misspelling, as in de:Wurzel-Jesse-Fenster (Groslay), Durchkopplung missing (Leerzeichen in Komposita = misspellings in German) – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Wurzel Jesse Fenster (St. Pantaleon) (Replika) to Category:Wurzel-Jesse-Fenster (St. Pantaleon) (Replika) (0 entries moved, 2 to go) (Requested by 176.1.20.205)
Reason provided: misspelling, as in de:Wurzel-Jesse-Fenster (Groslay), Durchkopplung missing (Leerzeichen in Komposita = misspellings in German) – 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)Reply
Rename Category:Sanierung Kuppelmosaik Aachener Dom to Category:Sanierung des Kuppelmosaiks im Aachener Dom (0 entries moved, 18 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)Reply
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)Reply
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)Reply
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)Reply
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: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)
Reason provided: one "Landschaftsschutzgebiet" too much – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Landschaftsschutzgebiet Im Landkreis Saarlouis - Im Bereich Der Gemeinde Rehlingen to Category:Landschaftsschutzgebiet im Landkreis Saarlouis - im Bereich der Gemeinde Rehlingen (0 entries moved, 17 to go) (Requested by 176.1.17.221)
Reason provided: misspellings: lower case for prepositions and article, as the other categories in Category:Protected landscape areas in Landkreis Saarlouis – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Kerk van Sondel to Category:De Haven, Sondel (0 entries moved, 18 to go) (Requested by 176.1.14.14)
Reason provided: as the proper name in Friesian: fy:De Haven (Sondel) (such as the churches Category:De Fontein, Oudemirdum and Category:De Hoekstien (Nijemirdum) in Friesland) – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Gebrandschilderd raam in de kerk van Sondel to Category:Stained-glass window of De Haven, Sondel (1 entries moved, 2 to go) (Requested by 176.1.14.14)
Reason provided: English language instead of Netherlands, especially for the "stained-glass windows" categories, the church name as the proper name in Friesian: fy:De Haven (Sondel) – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Fjallfoss to Category:Dynjandi (0 entries moved, 70 to go) (Requested by Steinninn)
Reason provided: This is a common mistake, but the correct (and most commonly used name, is Dynjandi – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Category navigational templates for municipalities to Category:Category navigational templates for municipalities in Cuba (0 entries moved, 15 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:Stained-glass windows in Paňa to Category:Stained-glass windows of the Church of All Saints in Paňa (0 entries moved, 8 to go) (Requested by 176.1.2.217)
Reason provided: Name as its parent category with the church name, otherwise it would be wrong as subcategory. All windows in the category also seem to be of that specific church. – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Holiday Park to Category:Plopsaland Deutschland (0 entries moved, 36 to go) (Requested by Luke2101)
Reason provided: the park has been renamed – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Narre Warren railway station to Category:Narre Warren railway station, Melbourne (0 entries moved, 6 to go) (Requested by Numbermaniac)
Reason provided: Consistency with rest of Category:Pakenham railway line – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:CIF cream cleaner to Category:Cif cream cleaner (0 entries moved, 23 to go) (Requested by Belbury)
Reason provided: Not an acronym, not capitalised on the packaging. – Admin: Approve
Rename Category:Výstavba tramvajového kolejiště na Václavském náměstí (2024) to Category:Výstavba tramvajového kolejiště na Václavském náměstí (0 entries moved, 1,291 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

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

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)Reply
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)Reply

Category:Sankt Hippolyt (Eferding)

Please move Category:Sankt Hippolyt (Eferding) and its subcategories to the name "Pfarrkirche Eferding" as in German Wikipedia.
"Sankt Hippolyt (Eferding) - Stained glass windows" => "Category:Stained-glass windows of Pfarrkirche Eferding" has been done already in the section for stained-glass windows below, the others should follow.

Categories for Carlos Botelho (1899–1982)

[edit]

And can anyone please create a redirect from Carlos Botelho to the disambiguation category:Carlos Botelho? The page looks now as if there would be no gallery for any Carlos Botelho, but there exist two galleries for those two painters. I linked them on the disambiguation category, but I’m not allowed to create a redirect to that category. —176.1.14.14 14:19, 8 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Khatumo categories

[edit]

There are 441 subcategories that also need to be renamed.

Comment: English Wikipedia waits for an official English name to come (maybe) and has a discussion about the article rename (and has not even hundreds of categories for this). As long as the new English name is not clear enough and English Wikipedia doesn’t move even an article, no 441 categories should be moved here that perhaps need to be moved to another name afterwards. This rename still seems to be in discussion there and here, therefore it’s not a case for a bot rename at the time.
All Wikipedias except so-Wikipedia have still Khatumo names for the articles, English Wikipedia has the name en:Khatumo State. Commons shouldn’t go alone with renaming so many categories and then have to rename them once again after the discussion(s).
The name at so-Wikipedia is so:Waqooyibari, not Waqooyi Bari, and there is Northeastern State an alternative name for that state in the article. Also the proposal at English Wikipedia is to rename the article to en:North Eastern State of Somalia, not to Waqooyi Bar. And as I’m seeing now, someone already created a new article en:North Eastern State of Somalia for that new state. Therefore I suppose, the articles won’t get renamed into Waqooyi Bar, and the Commons categories shoudn’t either be renamed to that name then.
And the official name until now has been Maamul-goboleedka SSC-Khaatumo ee Soomaaliya, Khaatumo with double-a, but the categories weren’t named with "Khaatumo" either.
I propose a normal category discussion with arguments for the moves to whatever name and to remove this from here for now. This comment with its arguments can be transfered onto such a new category discussion page. —176.1.2.217 11:12, 4 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
I have struck through my proposal and deleted the prompt, because IP 176 provided a decent rationale. Thank you for your feedback. Girligaanshub (talk) 21:43, 4 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
@Girligaanshub: Could you perhaps open a new category discussion about those categories, link to the former discussions and put my comment above there, so that there can be a normal discussion about it? Then, in the end of that discussion, there could be a bot request with link to such a normal category discussion, when the new name for the state will be clear in a few weeks or whatever time it needs.
Do you know that page: COM:Rename a category? Especially the section about rename types, see "Controversial fixes", because the new name has to be found and discussed before moving all those categories. A discussion at Commons:Categories for discussion would be fine for that. My comment above could be something for such a discussion and should be moved there, and maybe your answer, but the rest of this section can be deleted then. Thank you. —176.1.6.109 09:05, 6 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
You can and should also take "Waqooyi Bari" as target for your propose there again, then my comment above will not be displaced there, and then all users can comment the propose and find a good name for those categories. You can also strike your original propose there and then propose other target names after that, if you want. But for consistence, it would be best to take "Waqooyi Bari" as original target again. —176.1.6.109 09:10, 6 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Categories: "stained glass windows" => "stained-glass windows"

[edit]

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)Reply

Replace images with .svg version

[edit]

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
I cannot find any evidence. PNG by PNG, SVG by SVG, GIF by PNG, no PNG by SVG ever. Were all the piss-bad replacements done manually? Taylor 49 (talk) 21:57, 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"
