Description Félix M. (elfix) 2012-07-26 20:14:57 UTC
It appears that after renaming a user, the file history associated with the files the user uploaded still bear the user's former name.

See this for example: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chateaudeselves.jpg

The uploader's name should have been updated, but it hasn't.

[Also, please do not mention the uploader's former name here. The rename was made in order to prevent websearch engines from indexing their name.]

Thanks!

You can use my case instead:

Comment 2 Félix M. (elfix) 2012-07-26 20:27:23 UTC
By the way, I'm noticing that the description page history has the same problem.
Comment 3 db [inactive,noenotif] 2012-07-29 12:34:46 UTC
Renaming takes some time.

If not fixed now, please give the old and the new name here. Thanks.
Comment 4 Félix M. (elfix) 2012-07-29 18:35:10 UTC
It seems the problem is more isolated than I thought, since the file history I pointed out has been updated meanwhile, although I find it strange that a 1-edit account takes so much time to be renamed.

As to matanya's file, the old name was "Matanya (usurped)"; the new name should be "matanya" (Right, Matanya?).

yes.

File is deleted. Is this still a issue?
Comment 7 Félix M. (elfix) 2012-09-08 20:20:36 UTC
Nope, it no longer is, but I hope that problem won't arise again
