Please describe what you are intending to rename. If it is manually, why shall it be done by a bot account? --Krd 11:46, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As example, to add prefix "StPetersburg-" to all photos from Category:2019 in Saint Petersburg (as first step of attribution). --Kaganer (talk) 13:08, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don‘t think this is in line with the rename policy. If you disagree please elaborate. --Krd 13:16, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaganer: ? --Krd 17:17, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

These filenames should be changed to be more descriptive. This is first step. I'm may be make this "by hand", with "mass rename" tool, from my main account. Running from bot accout will be these same action. --Kaganer (talk) 23:21, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Doing it by hand is still not in line with rename policy. Please elaborate. --Krd 09:26, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Krd: hm. This case, as I see it: (1) the uploader forgot to give the files acceptable names; (2) I recognized that some of the photos belong to St. Petersburg; (3) There are too many of these photos so that I can rename them individually. My actions? --Kaganer (talk) 22:31, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

PS: please ping me with reply. --Kaganer (talk) 22:33, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd not consider moves like File:20190129-P1722665 42.jpg useful. Keeping the request open for additional opinions. --Krd 13:48, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think it'll be better if bot will collect files with meaningless names into category/galleries, but new name decision will be left to humans. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:06, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Declined per discussion. --Krd 14:02, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
