Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/File mover/Administrator instructions

The file mover user right allows users experienced in working with files to rename them, subject to policy, with the ease that autoconfirmed users already enjoy when renaming Wikipedia articles.

Prerequisites
In general, file mover is only granted to trusted users who:
 * 1) Regularly work with media files
 * 2) Have demonstrated familiarity with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines surrounding renaming this type of media
 * 3) Should be well-versed in how the renaming process works, best demonstrated by any rename requests they have made
 * 4) Have had an account for a reasonable amount of time. File mover is not normally given to brand-new editors, regardless of the number of files uploaded

Experience with the equivalent tool at Commons and other relevant experience with media files may be taken into account.
