message: I'm an admin on the YPPedia, the wiki for the Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates community.  We have oodles of user generated artwork along with numerous screenshots and illustrations from the game itself being uploaded every day.  While a lot of it does follow guidelines for naming the stuff that doesn't is often left behind while work continues on other administrative tasks.  What I've seen of this project so far is really impressive - it adds a much missed function of Mediawiki to the administrator's toolbox.
Is it possible to set up something similar for other wikis, or can someone involved in the project give some advice on how to do it?  I personally have no experience in writing bots which is why I came to the much larger Mediawiki community here at Wikipedia. Thanks.--Fiddling Frog (talk) 19:17, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Can this be used on other wikis? 

message: The main page of this article says that in order to be able to use this tool, I have to put my name at the bottom of a list on this talk page. But I'm here and I don't see any list of names.
What I need to do is rename several maps I've uploaded to Wikipedia. Newer versions of those maps are now uploaded to Wikimedia, but the old ones on Wikipedia have a unique file history that shows the evolution of these maps (from first draft to newest updates).
Thus for example, I'd like to rename the East-Hem_323bc.jpg to East-Hem_323bc_old.jpg. That would allow Wikipedia to use the new maps from Commons, while also being able to access the older drafts of each map by adding _old before the .jpg. Thomas Lessman (talk) 13:48, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no preference as to whether I am added to the list of potential image renamers or whether an administrator does it instead, but I'd like to see the file Image:IPA chart 2005.png renamed to Image:IPA chart 2005_old.png — for the same reason as is cited by Thomas Lessman above. I have already copied the latest instance of the Wikipedia file to Commons so that it, too, has the latest version wth the highest available resolution. Now we just need the Wikipedia file renamed. Thanks. -- Objectivesea (talk) 07:10, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I've just noticed that User:GeeAlice has been indef blocked as a sockpuppet of User:Jeeny. The user should be removed from Wikipedia:Image renaming/checkpage, which is a protected page. - ✰ALLST☆R✰ echo 16:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Obsolete? 

message: The main page still references this page as part of a process to become a trusted user. If this is no longer part of the process than someone should change the main page.
To be honest this whole this is horribly confusing. The process also seems broken, as I have had an image I requested to be renamed 3 months ago and it is still not done. ( :File:Alberta Highway 1A.svg).
Hopefully someone can give the whole process some attention and fix it up. --Svgalbertian (talk) 02:15, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I tagged the main page with . The bot and its user that was responsible for carrying out the actual behind the scenes work of this process, is currently banned from Wikipedia. Maybe he will return or another user and bot take over the process. - ALLST✰R▼echo wuz here  04:18, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
