I feel it would be logical and prudent for any person uploading to to give it a uneque description. Multiple files with identical filenames with identical extensions are problematic (example: Example.png and Example.pNg). Mediawiki currently allows the upload of files with identical filenames and extension with only diference being case diference. I see no use of having Example.png and its diferent variants (case diferences) aside from inflicting confusion. I was also informed that there had been issues of Wikia logos being the wrong case. There is the matter of existing images requiring a rename... but that can be dealt with later. Firtly we should prevent any newer images with wierd cases.
We got *tons* of images with .PNG or .JPG; eventually a script could clean up 'em all.
I support this idea. I'd prefer having all the image names in lowercase, but even partial solution like preventing uppercase filename extensions would be good.
