Don't upload files with generic, non-specific file names.</td></tr></tbody></table> <p><b>Wikipedia file names</b> should be clear and descriptive, without being excessively long. While the image name doesn't matter much to the reader (they can reach the <a href="/wiki/Help:Image_page" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Image page">description page</a> by simply clicking on the image), it matters for editors. It is helpful to other contributors and for maintenance of the encyclopedia if images have descriptive or at least readable file names. For example, "<a href="/wiki/File:Skyline_Frankfurt_am_Main.jpg" title="File:Skyline Frankfurt am Main.jpg">File:Skyline Frankfurt am Main.jpg</a>" is more helpful than "<a href="/wiki/File:Wiki.jpg" title="File:Wiki.jpg">File:Wiki.jpg</a>". </p><p>To avoid accidental overwriting of images or other media, very generic filenames should not be used when uploading. For example, a picture of an <a href="/wiki/Album_cover" title="Album cover">album cover</a> should not be given the name "<a href="/wiki/File:Cover.jpg" title="File:Cover.jpg">File:Cover.jpg</a>", as sooner or later someone else will try to do the same thing and overwrite the old image. The new image will then appear wherever the old one was used—in this case, an album article would then show the wrong album cover. </p> <div id="toc" class="toc" role="navigation"
