Mass rename
[edit]Is there a place on Commons where I can request mass rename files in one category? My files, obvious error in names, I would like to rename them. There is 83 files, it would take a lot of time to request rename for each separately. Ma▀▄Ga 18:25, 9 October 2025 (UTC)
- User:MaGa, I do not know of any way to do that. There seems to be some javascript to do mass renames, see Commons:File_renaming#Mass_rename. Maybe you can get it to work. Also if you go to Commons:Requests_for_rights#Filemover and request to have rights to move files yourself, I will grant you those rights, if that is helpful. --Jarekt (talk) 20:49, 9 October 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for trust in me, but I don't want filemover rights. I will add request for each file as usual procedure (with standard gadget). Thank you again for your help. Ma▀▄Ga 15:31, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
Tech News: 2025-42
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- Last week, improvements to account security and two-factor authentication (2FA) features were enabled across all wikis. These changes include user interface improvements for Special:AccountSecurity, the support of multiple 2FA methods via authenticator apps and portable security keys (previously users could only enable one method), and a new Recovery Codes module which facilitates fewer account lockouts due to lost two-factor apps and devices. As part of the Account Security project, work is continuing through the rest of 2025 on further user experience improvements, and support for passkeys as an alternate second factor.
Updates for editors
- Another part of the Account security project is making 2FA generally available to all users. Along with editors with advanced privileges, such as administrators and bureaucrats, 40% of editors now have access to 2FA. You can check if you have access at Special:AccountSecurity. Instructions for activation are on the linked page. The plan is to continue increasing availability if it is determined that the user support capabilities are able to support global usage. [1]
- This week, users at wikis where talk page Usability Improvements are already available by default (everywhere except the 12 wikis listed in T379264) will gain the ability to Thank a comment directly from the talk page it appears on. Before this change, Thanking could only be done by visiting the revision history of the talk page. You can learn more about this change. [2]
- Users who have not verified their email address will soon be receiving monthly Notification reminders to do so. This is because users who have verified their email can more easily recover their account. These reminders will not be sent if the user is inactive or removes the unverified email from their account. [3][4]
View all 21 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a fix was made for an occasional error with saving translated paragraphs in the Content Translation tool, and the related error messages are now easier to see. [5]
Updates for technical contributors
- The Unsupported Tools Working Group has chosen Video2Commons as the first tool for its pilot cycle. The group will explore ways to improve and sustain the tool over the coming months. Learn more on Meta.
- Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Updates for editors
- To optimize how user data is stored in our databases, the saved preferences of users who haven't logged in for over five years and have fewer than 100 edits will be cleared. When those users return, default settings will apply. [6]
View all 20 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, there was a broken link from the GlobalContributions interface message to the XTools GlobalContributions page which has now been fixed. [7]
Updates for technical contributors
- The work to reroute all traffic to API endpoints under the
rest.phproute through a common API gateway is now complete. If any issues are observed, please file a phabricator ticket to the Service Ops team board. - Edits to Wikidata references or qualifiers will now be shown in RecentChanges and Watchlist entries on other wikis less often, reducing unnecessary notifications. This will reduce the overall quantity of 'noisy' entries. Wikidata's own pages remain unchanged. [8]

Hi. What would it take to get a new section added to the template? Trade (talk) 21:27, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
- Trade we mostly do not touch the main {{Information}} template, which remained mostly unchanged since it's inception in 2006. We add additional fields to other templates like {{Information2}} , {{Artwork}}, {{Book}}, etc. Other way is to use {{Information field}} template to add your own fields to any of the above templates. --Jarekt (talk) 03:47, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
