[[Image:Renaming Petition.png|thumb|An example of a gallery renaming petition that has successfully changed the name of a gallery.]]

Renaming allows users besides the gallery uploader to change the name of [[E-Hentai_User_Gallery_System|a user uploaded gallery]]. Typically this makes the gallery easier to identify or find via searches.

==Process==
*Renaming normally occurs once a petition reaches 100% power. A user's vote is equal to their [[mod power]]. Votes can exceed 100% power.
*If multiple petitions exist past 100% power, the one with the highest percentage will take priority.
**For this reason votes are blocked if a petition option is already above 100%, unless there are others with even higher percentages.
*Users may choose to withdraw or change their vote on a petition at any time. Select ◯ Blank Vote to withdraw vote. Withdrawing votes can cause a gallery to revert to its original name, if no names on the petition are past 99% power, or a different rename, if another one is over 100%.
*Petitions left incomplete for more than 7 days are automatically purged.
*Petition options with 0 votes are automatically removed to avoid clutter.
*Ideally, a gallery that has not changed should only require '''1''' renaming at most.

==Naming Style==
The basic styles are as follows:

==Anatomy of A Gallery Name==
;Convention Name
:The convention where the work was sold. Use shorthand whenever possible ([[#Formatting|see below]]). Never applies to [Digital] releases.
;Circle Name(s)
:The group names under which the artist(s) work. Never to be used on works where a circle is not credited. Artists can work under multiple circles or can change at any time; therefore users should never assume the circle name based on the artist name (and vice-versa).
;Artist Name(s)
:Writer names are also accepted for more [[novel]]-like works but they should never be [[tagged]].
;Title(s)
:May include its translated name after a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_bar vertical bar] if the work is translated (e.g. ''Nurse wo Kanojo ni Suru Houhou | How to Go Steady with a Nurse''). Sub-titles should be separated with a hyphen.
;Magazine or Tankoubon Source
:The publication source of the scan. For magazines use title and date only. If a magazine title combines English and Japanese (e.g. COMIC真激) add a space between the English and Japanese portions of the title.
;Parody Name(s)
:Names of the series being parodied. Most common in [[Doujinshi]] galleries. For the romanized field they are preferred how they are in romaji followed by how they are [[tag|tagged]]. e.g. ''Ah! Megami-sama'' is preferred over ''Ah! My Goddess''.
;[[:Category:Language_Tag|Language]]
:Must be the language's equivalent name in English (e.g. ''[Spanish]'', ''[German]''). Thai and Vietnamese must include their in-language equivalents (''[Thai ภาษาไทย]'' and ''[Vietnamese Tiếng Việt]'').
;Translator(s)
:While square brackets are generally preferred {curly braces} and 【sumistuki】 are also acceptable. They are preferred how the translator writes them (such as on their archive files). Not needed in the '''J''' field.
;[[#Special_Indicators|Special Indicator(s)]]
:Decensored, Colorized, Incomplete, Digital, Sample, Textless, etc.

==Usage==
*Only known and applicable information should be used. Any unconfirmed information should be left out. New rename petitions can be made to amend any missing information.
*The primary focus of renaming is adding or correcting major data (e.g. serious spelling mistakes, wrong convention). It is recommended not to rename galleries simply to correct minor mistakes in their formatting (e.g. wrong brackets used, improper casing).
*Multiple entries in any portion must be separated with commas.
**For lists in the Japanese field ideographic commas (、) are preferred over batsus (×) and ampersands (&). Ordinary commas are also acceptable; e.g. "<span style="color:green">大熊狸喜、かん奈</span>" over "<span style="color:red">大熊狸喜×かん奈</span>".
*Unlike tags, names allow for all symbols.
**Symbols such as "☆" are mandatory for the Japanese name but are optional for the Romanized field.
**Marus (○) or other censors are to be corrected in the Romanized field if the information being censored is known.
*Japanese names should follow the publication data page / colophon as well as any information from the covers (including any sub-titles).
*In cases where the colophon and the title do not match the colophon wins.
*If the any of the creator/parody names exceed 3 in number, it is preferred to state "Various" instead.
**[[Anthologies]] need no creator indicators.
***Stand-alone anthologies should simply be "[Anthology] ''Title''".
*Languages should only be indicated for translated/rewritten works or wherever such languages would not be expected.
**e.g. "Japanese" is not needed because it is the default language.
*A space should exist between "Vol." / "Ch." and the number(s) in the Romanized field.
*Leading zeros are best left out whenever possible unless they appear explicitly; e.g. "<span style="color:green">Ch. 7</span>" not <span style="color:red">Ch. 07</span>", "<span style="color:green">COMIC1☆3</span>" not "<span style="color:red">COMIC1☆03</span>".
*If the romaji is obviously spelling out an English word, then use the correct English word instead of the romaji version of it; e.g. "シスター" is "<span style="color:green">Sister</span>" not "<span style="color:red">Shisutaa</span>", "ラブ" is "<span style="color:green">Love</span>" not "<span style="color:red">Rabu</span>".
**Shortened or clipped English stays as is.
*Kanji representing numbers should be romanized as words, not as numbers; e.g. "九" is "<span style="color:green">Kyuu</span>" not "<span style="color:red">9</span>".
*Any chapter collection should include the chapter numbers, except complete ones.
*Use [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_case#Headings_and_publication_titles Title Casing] whenever capitalization isn't otherwise specified.
*Use hyphens for any sub-titles unless otherwise specified.
*Translator group names supersede individual members' names.
**The order of names is not important.
*Use hyphens to separate names/pronouns from honorifics; e.g. "<span style="color:green">Onii-chan</span>" not "<span style="color:red">Oniichan</span>".
*A translation of a [[rewrite]] is still a [[rewrite]] and thus follows that format.

<div id="Do Not"></div>

==Do '''NOT'''==
*Use "同人誌", "同人CG集", "同人ソフトCG", "同人ゲームCG", "アダルトコミック", "エロ", "コスプレ", "成年コミック", "非エロ", or "総集編"; these are all redundant / irrelevant.
*Use "Complete", "End", or any other variants to indicate the end of a series or its completeness.
*Use "Original" or "オリジナル" as a parody. This is already assumed for any gallery without a parody indicator.
*Use "Raw" as a language. This is already assumed for any gallery without a language indicator.
*Use publisher or website names. Some exceptions apply (typically when no other creator names can be associated with the work).
*Put the date in any brackets if it's part of the name; e.g. "<span style="color:green">Comic Megastore 2011-10</span>" not "<span style="color:red">Comic Megastore [2011-10]</span>".
*Rename a gallery to describe the its contents (rare exceptions exist if the existing title is pejorative or very misleading).
*Include a translated title in the Romanized field if the gallery is not in that language unless the translator/uploader has used a title from a third language.
*Indicate the quality of the work in any fashion; e.g. "Version 2", "Hi-Res", "High Quality", "300 DPI", etc.
*Use convention indicators for [Digital] releases.
*Use alternative alphabetic characters (such as full-width) in the Romanized field; e.g. "<span style="color:green">Nudism Zone</span>" not "<span style="color:red">Ｎｕｄｉｓｍ Ｚｏｎｅ</span>".
*Use the Digital indicator for CG sets as it is redundant.
*Rename [[expunged]] galleries (unless they are due for de-expunging or administrative purposes).

==[[Rewards]]==
Renaming galleries (as well as [[expunging]] them) rewards points for the [[Toplists#Cleanup_Toplists | Cleanup Toplist]]. Users receive 5 points for being the first to petition and 1 point for voting on an existing petition. Points are only awarded on the day that the petition is successful and will not be rewarded if the petition does not pass.

[[Image:Point.png]] Note that repeated poor use of rename petitions may result in the user being [[banned]] from using them further.
