Forum:Long image file names

This is more of a question than a cry for help, am I being retentive because I've thought about asking some users not to upload files with long complicated name like 'File:75d8caa95d9bfac7502b75c85c8fa45c.jpg'? I know it's simple to do a copy and paste of the file name. But they're really quite long file names. Does anyone think there's an optimum file name length (or am I just obsessing over nothing)? Thanks. --Tangerineduel 11:48, December 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately it is a hassle to look after long file names like that, but luckily you can move images to a more appropriate name (and if you're an admin,suppress the redirect). I don't believe there is a limit on length, not that I'm aware of. -- 13:39, December 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * The problem of those names is not that they are long. The problem is that such name has no meaning to the image, so do a search for the image will fail. Long names shouldn't be a problem if they are meaningful. A note about image move: only admins can move (rename) uploaded images. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 19:08, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
