Title: Rename Requests
Post by: looper231 on May 14, 2025, 14:01:33

If you're looking for a module to be renamed for a specific reason, link the module in question in this topic and specify what should we rename it to.

What increases my chances for a request to be approved?

• If you're the song author and want to follow naming conventions for some of your old tracks.
• If the filename had a random string of numbers at the end to avoid dupe names.

What kinds of requests are surely to be rejected?

• If you changed your alias and want to rename tracks under your old alias. Since the old track was released under that alias, we prefer not to change this associating
• The track is not your own work. Please don't consider renames post uploads. We encourage you to either follow naming convention or keeping the original filename untouched.
  
  Files in the screening queue are not affected by this. Your request will be considered if the module hasn't been added to the archive yet
  

Check the naming convention here (https://modarchive.org/index.php?faq-upload-guide)

It's good to follow naming conventions. I'll allow such a change. All renamed

https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=66074
rename to "bruno_-_jum-hop_of_stranger.mod"

reason: why not? this song isn't listed on bruno's "guessed artists" page and there's no credit in the sample text
proof that it's by bruno: https://demozoo.org/music/2375/

Please don't use "why not" in your reasonings next time. This is a very nuanced case. I'll allow it, since, as you've mentioned, there is no other credit on the site.

https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=116601
rename to "tempest_and_reed_-_polish_xmas_v2.mod"

reason: this is an updated version of this mod: https://modarchive.org/module.php?165944
both have the same song title so some adequate distinction between them would be nice

Who uploaded these? That's a lot of modules. "Descriptive" doesn't sell it to me

After discussion, I'd prefer to keep the original filenames intact, because those were uploaded years ago. There are also some issues with naming, that I'll have to further explain in the OP.

Rejected.
