Hi, you nominated a series of images to be renamed. As an argument you gave: "Artist name first for better categorization / Standardization" Note that this is not a requirement, and not a valid argument for moving a file. A filename only has to be descriptive and correct. It does not need standardization such as articlenames. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 15:38, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That is just fine, but for instance a file that is named "Artist - 01 - songname.jpg" is fine too. And "songname by artist.jpg" is correct as well. There is no "strict" naming convention, they just have to be without errors, without unnecessary chars that makes the filename them hard to write and it has to be descriptive. I'm just saying, don't put too much energy in the name of a file, it matters much less than the name of an article. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 16:07, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You remove the sortkey from the category ? Seems easiest. Like i said, renaming a file should not be done for standardization (which is not required for filenames) or for categorization purposes (for which we have sortkeys). —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 19:06, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
