Sta pàggina cunteni li struzzioni supra comu “rinuminari” o “spustari” na catigurìa, n manera di assuciari un nomu apprupiatu ô tema trattatu (n Commons:Catigurìi è prisenti la difinizzioni di catigurìa e sunnu difinuti li struzzioni pi numinari li catigurìi).

Commons havi diversi bot e script ca ponnu aiutari ntô prucessu. Si è currettu o no utilizzàrili addipenni dô tipu di rinòmina.

Siccomu spustari tutti l'elimenti s'havi a fari ancora manualmenti, li "edit wars" supra lu nomu currettu dâ catigurìa putìssiru èssiri cumplicati. Si hai dê dubbi supra quali avissi a èssiri lu nomu currettu, addumanna prima cunzigghiu a l'àutri. Discùtiri nun costa tantu. Spustari 300 elimenti di A a B e viciversa, n'anticchia chiossai.

Idintificazzioni di l'argumentu

Zocchi segui prisupponi ca la catigurìa c'havi a èssiri rinuminata havi n'argumentu ùnicu ca pò èssiri idintificatu e ca st'argumentu segui li pulìtichi di Commons.

N casu cuntrariu, li catigurìi avìssiru a èssiri svacantati e appoi cancillati (sicunnu li Règuli pâ cancillazzioni). Esempi:

• Catigurìa:Pirsuni curaggiusi dâ Svìzzira (argumentu nun spicìficu)
• Catigurìa:Sali e zùccaru (accustamentu nun adiguatu)
• Catigurìa:Saccheru (argumentu nun esistenti)

Lu tìtulu di na catigurìa è ditirminatu dê paràmitri siguenti:

• nomu attuali dâ catigurìa
• testu ntâ pàggina dâ catigurìa
• culligamenti interwiki
• catigurìi supiriuri

Notice that the contents (categorized pages and files) of the category don't matter, because each page or file has to be categorized according to appropriate subjects, and this process is not bound with any association of names to these subjects. In particular, most of the contents of a category could be wrongly categorized.

Tipi di rinòmina

Pi "canciamenti contraversi", pi favuri discùtinni prima

• Currizzioni nichi: currizzioni di errura di battitura, maiùsculi o singulari/plurali (li noma cumuni avìssiru a èssiri ô plurali, p'esempiu Catigurìa:Cosi nveci ca Categurìa:Cosa). Chisti ponnu èssiri fatti dê bot senza ntirventu dâ cumunità. Arricorda ca sunnu accittati sia la dizzioni ngrisa ca chidda miricana.
• Currizzioni nun ambìgui: standardizzari lu nomu dâ catigurìa chê lìnii guida supra li lingui di Commons (attualmenti: latinu pê formi di vita, ngrisi pô restu) e li suggirimenti ntê lìnii guida pi numinari na catigurìa. Agghiunci lu template {{Category redirect}}; un bot sposta lu cuntinutu â catigurìa curretta. Catigurìi ca fannu sulu di redirect nun ponnu èssiri catigurizzati. Si na catigurìa cunteni tanti elimenti, cunzidirala na currizzioni ambìgua.
• Controversial fixes: where a category name has been in use for a long time or a lot of items, or where the naming policy is unspecific. Any category that has a corresponding Wikipedia article which has had a naming controversy over that article definitely falls into this lot. Tag these with a {{Move}} notice. Start a discussion on a talk page, and link to it from any other relevant categories, consider posting a note on Commons:Categories for discussion (which is usually best done by clicking the "Nominate category for discussion" tool on the category page) and/or the Village pump; the latter should typically only be used for discussions affecting (roughly) ten or more categories or thousands of photos. Let consensus develop before going on with a bot rename.

Rename process

If you want to do the move yourself, you need to do two things:

• Move the category page using "move" tab from the top bar of the category page
• Move the included pages (files, subcategories, galleries etc.) from the old category to the new category. You can use Cat-a-lot tool which can be activated in your personal preferences.

If appropriate, also mark the old category page for deletion as described below.

Bot

• User:CommonsDelinker/commands – put your requests on the talk page. Use the template {{move cat|Old name|New name|3=Explanation|user={{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}}.

Any bot doing category moving should receive community approval first as noted on the bot description page.

Deleting the old category

Shortcuts

• COM:REDCAT
• COM:CATRED

In cases where it's likely that a new user might try to use the old category by accident, it's best to retain it as a redirect. This might include alternatives that are equally valid or synonyms; older and outdated terms; translations; or some other correct expectable name for the category. In such cases, the old category should be marked permanently with a {{Category redirect}} template.

If the old category is a simple typo or you are the only person who ever used the category and you are the one fixing it up, it can safely be deleted. Request it for speedy deletion by marking it thus:

{{bad name|new name}}  

o

{{speedydelete|moved to [[:Category:…]] because …}}

Don't delete categories that were fine (and had the correct name) for historic objects (notably countries or subdivisions): they have a distinct history and most often not the same geographic definition and we have a lot of historic documents and photos that relate to these historic entities. Use {{Category redirect|new category name}} instead (it is much easier to revert: a deletion is destructive, it removes all page history, and this just wastes the precious time spent in properly collecting the relevant documents!).

We cannot sort everything according to the most current modern definition that will mix everything, with various unrelated contents, forgetting that some regions were part of the history of another country: at least the redirects are easy to recover and we don't lose the useful distinctive information.
