Is it possible to exclude certain file categories or extensions from the returned search results? For instance, there are tons of PDF books uploaded to commons (like commons:File:Conserves de fruits et de légumes en boîtes de fer-blanc - comment les faire chez soi (IA conservesdefruit00aren).pdf) that seems to be returned with pretty much every search and that are always irrelevant.

Thanks!

I think the info in the page is oudated. In every Wikimedia Fountadion project I can use Wikimedia Commons media (but not yet global templates.

On the other hand, I cannot see the subscribing signs here to include them ~~~~ , <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags and a preview botton. BoldLuis (talk) 13:40, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

I use InstantCommons and I'm very happy with it.

I know how to change the local description, but I don't know how to rename the file (= giving a local name on my wiki). How to do that?

Try making a redirect at the local wanted name.
