File history not updated upon name changes
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

It appears that after renaming a user, the file history associated with the files the user uploaded still bear the user's former name.

See this for example: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chateaudeselves.jpg

The uploader's name should have been updated, but it hasn't.

[Also, please do not mention the uploader's former name here. The rename was made in order to prevent websearch engines from indexing their name.]

Thanks!

By the way, I'm noticing that the description page history has the same problem.

Renaming takes some time.

If not fixed now, please give the old and the new name here. Thanks.

It seems the problem is more isolated than I thought, since the file history I pointed out has been updated meanwhile, although I find it strange that a 1-edit account takes so much time to be renamed.

As to matanya's file, the old name was "Matanya (usurped)"; the new name should be "matanya" (Right, Matanya?).

You can use my case instead:

File is deleted. Is this still a issue?

Nope, it no longer is, but I hope that problem won't arise again
