Forum:Reuploading images with searchable file names

I was curious about others' thoughts on this. I've noticed some images on the wiki that are not searchable at all when adding pictures to an article--titled, say 1338549screen005.jpg--and I worry this will lead to a lot of repeat images. I'm tempted to reupload the images with a searchable file name related to their content, replace the non-searchable images in any article that uses them with the new ones, and mark the old files for deletion. What do people think about this?

Just link an admin to the images with what they should be named as, and they can hit rename. You can use Special:Whatlinkshere on the image pages to make sure the pages the images were on still show the image after the rename. 00:51, November 18, 2012 (UTC)

Cool, sounds good. Thank you!
