The user right is not normally given to brand-new editors, regardless of the number of files uploaded.
If you wish to request File mover rights for yourself or another user, please see . Administrators do not need to request or add this user right for themselves or other administrators; it is automatically granted as part of the administrator tools package.
There are currently file mover users, which makes the total number of users with this permission 1,650 (the rest are administrators).
If you're not a file mover, you can place {{}} on the image description page, which will put the page into . A file mover will perform the move, if it conforms to the guidelines described below. File movers should follow the instructions on the template.
File movers cannot move a file if precisely the same file name exists on Commons. Administrators, however, can do so, because they have the 'reupload-shared' right.
There is a helpful user script for moving files: User:Splarka/ajaxfilemove.js.
As when a page is moved, a redirect is left when moving files. In most cases the file redirect should remain on the original page, except if the original name falls under one of the revision deletion criteria (purely disruptive, grossly insulting, privacy breaching, etc.) or shadows a file on Commons.
After moving the file, please replace all uses of the old file link with the new one.
If the file was moved per WP:FNC#9, after all of the links have been updated, please place {{}}
on the leftover redirect (file movers), or delete the leftover redirect using the summary generated by {{}}
(administrators). Please see speedy deletion criterion G6 for more information.
Additional naming conventions and exceptions from the above list might be discussed for specific projects.
As a matter of principle, it is best to leave all files with generally valid names at their locations, even if slightly better names may exist. So, for example:
However, situations that could cause confusion are to be avoided.
