Forum:Image maintenance project

Forum:Stickied threads Hello all,

I want to propose for us to kick off an image renaming project. It's as simple as that, a project for users to take part in which consists of simply renaming any misnamed files you can find.

This is going to be over several months, so there is no rush or deadline that we need to be "finished" by.

Why should we do this? There are thousands of files with improper names. Renaming them would greatly improve the organisation of our many images.

Currently only admins and custodians can move images (and suppress the redirects, which is important). So any user who is very interested in helping and has a reasonable amount of experience will be given the custodian rights if they do not have them already. We could also make one or two awards for users who contribute greatly to this project.

So do people want to do this? I think it would be a good group effort which would have noticeable results.

Discuss below please!
