Allow deleting or renaming your own uploads on Commons
Open, Stalled, LowPublicFeature

Description

This is pretty awful UX. You can't delete a file you've just uploaded seconds ago. You can't rename a file you've just uploaded seconds ago. There *is* a giant dialog box that lets you submit a request for a rename, but it's pretty ugly and I'm not sure how you get feedback. There's presumably an opaque deletion requestion process, but it's not hooked into the UI.

For deleting function community consensus is needed.

What exactly is the request here? The ability to delete or rename files you upload, even if you don't have the relevant rights, for a short period after uploading?
