Rename Special:Imagelist to Special:ListFiles to keep the consistence
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Rename Special:Imagelist to Special:ListImages to keep the consistence. All lists are named List* (ListAdmins, ListBots, ListGroupRights, ListRedirects, ListUsers), thus this one should be as well. Keep Imagelist as an alias.

Well, this is not the fix I had in my mind. The php files should be renamed. This is just aliasing thus on non-English wikis the default name will be shown, which is Imagelist.

Also, we're calling them files, not images :)

Yeah, forgot to update the summary... ;-)

A) There's several special pages in which the filename of the class doesn't correspond to the page in question (SpecialResetpass.php and Special:ChangePassword come to mind offhand). It's not a really big deal what the filename is :)

B) The default is now FileList, with ImageList being the fallback (just confirmed on my local install). Translators will take care of the non-EN names :) 'Imagelist' as a key name has no bearing on the page's name.

Bah, major typo. Default is ListFiles, with fallbacks being FileList and ImageList :)

The canonical name (wgCanonicalSpecialPageName) should be ListFiles. That's what I request here.
