Batch renaming is a form of batch processing used to rename multiple computer files and folders in an automated fashion, in order to save time and reduce the amount of work involved. Some sort of software is required to do this. Such software can be more or less advanced, but most have the same basic functions.
On Wikipedia, renaming might refer to: Moving a page to a different name; most users can do this, via the Move tab (you must be autoconfirmed to have a Move tab) . If you can't do this on a page you wish to move (note that some pages are move-protected), you can make a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves.
If a user wishes to stop using a personally identifying username (e.g. their real name or a name connected to it) this request should usually be performed. It should be noted, though, that the rename log will contain a permanent record of the name and that total privacy is only possible by creating a new account. See also m:Right to vanish.
This template automatically populates the relevant category with the user page. If and when the user account gets blocked, or approximately eight weeks pass with no further action, that categorization is automatically removed. This standardized template conforms to guidelines by the user warnings project.

Auto save settings file every 10 edits — If set, AWB will automatically save the currently loaded settings file after every 10 successful saves. This function is useful for backup, and may prevent loss of data if AWB corrupts.
The terms "rename" and "move" mean the same thing in this context. They just refer to different models for picturing the operation: rename: keep the page but give it another name; the page history is now attached to the new name; a new page with the old name is created which redirects to the new name and whose page history records the renaming.
This page lists template parameters which AWB should automatically rename in the en-wiki main and category namespaces, as part of AWB general fixes. The rule list is loaded live each time AWB is run (with general fixes enabled). Before adding a rule here, you must ensure that there is consensus in favour of the parameter renaming.
