message: I noticed on Wikipedia:File mover section #2.1 What files should not be renamed?, it said files should not be renamed if the renaming consisted of just adding spaces. Now I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason for this. The section itself states it's as a matter of principle. What is the priciple/reason for this policy? --Dutchy45 (talk) 15:47, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

message: Hello!
c:COM:FNC#6 is already pretty much a de facto criterion but can it be made a de jure one? — Preceding text originally posted on Wikipedia talk:File mover (diff) by Jonteemil (talk⋅contribs) 23:07, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Support. Things like double extensions (example.jpeg.jpg) can be quite confusing.  — Preceding text originally posted on Wikipedia talk:File mover (diff) by Alexis Jazz (talk⋅contribs) 12:00, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Addition of criterion 

message: There is nothing in this policy about double extensions. On the Commons policy, c:Commons:File renaming#Which files should be renamed? this is clearly covered by #6 "Non-controversial maintenance and bug fixes, including fixing double extensions, invalid or incorrect extensions, character handling problems, and other similar technical issues". We don't have this rationale, and that's a bit of an issue as User:Jonteemil has just requested (JUST as I was approved as a file mover!) over 100 moves for double extensions like :File:Green Crystal Ties, Volume 1.Garage Band Rebels.JPEG.jpg. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 10:06, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I also noticed that enwiki lacked an equivalent to #6 at Commons. I therefore requested it be added at Wikipedia talk:File mover#Addition of criterion.Jonteemil (talk) 11:49, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  I moved the discussion to this page, because this is where the criteria are. (Wikipedia:File names is transcluded on Wikipedia:File mover) — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 12:05, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  We are now stuck with 139 files in :Category:Wikipedia files requiring renaming. I'm not currently comfortable renaming them without a rationale in policy, and writing policy probably takes about.. long? How do you propose we resolve this? — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 19:19, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: That sounds sound. If the proposal goes through the files will be renamed and if not, my edits will be reverted. I don't think a conclusion will take that much time.Jonteemil (talk) 19:22, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think accepting proposals takes long, and in the meantime the category is difficult to navigate. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 19:26, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The closest that I can associate this is to WP:FNC#5 for the meantime until there is any explicit mention about double extensions. The commons policy seems to treat it like that. — Emperork (talk) 00:56, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

text:  Thank you. I wanted to help maintain the category and right away run into this, rather scary. I actually did move a few of them, specifically those of the "svg.png" variety. Those can clearly be confusing. But .JPG.jpg? It's really odd and ugly, but it's clear that it's a JPEG file. And what about "BitBucket SVG Logo.svg"? It's straight from the DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment, but is it confusing? On AN,  said  but most of the files in the category were uploaded years ago. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 20:36, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: My comment was less "don't do it" and more "beware the unseen risks". Moving files can break links, which is why we shouldn't move files freely and why we should be more careful moving older files. That's not to say we should never do so, but those are the harms you need to weigh against the benefits of a sane file name. Like Swarm, I seriously doubt anyone would have a problem with you fulfilling these requests under F5, but you should be aware that some may be judgment calls and shouldn't be rubber stamped. As long as you mitigate the harms by cleaning up after yourself and fixing back links, this seems like an unambiguous improvement even if minor.  — Wug·a·po·des​ 20:56, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Isn't there a bot that takes care of updating articles which contain moved images? If not, I'll have to figure out how to make the Commons gadget work here. Also, while redirects are left, hotlinked images on external sites still break. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 21:20, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Double extension 

message: I just dealt with a few requests by User:McVahl. I found excuses to grant all but one. One I very nearly declined was :File:Ust civil law logo.svg to :File:Coat of arms of the UST Faculty of Civil Law.svg. (I moved it to :File:Coat of arms of the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Civil Law.svg instead) I'd argue that in this context "Ust" could be considered an obvious error (should be UST when going with the initialism) and as a whole the name was fairly ambiguous.
But I don't think it's wrong to call the image a logo. (which was the original motivation for the rename request) I think coats of arms are a subtype of logos, especially when used in the modern day. Am I right? — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 11:49, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: , if you'll see the article University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Civil Law, there are two "logos" appearing in the infobox (coat of arms, and square version). I think it would be more appropriate use the term "logo" in naming the files for square versions. All other UST faculties and colleges actually have two types of logos. – McVahl (talk) 13:24, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
