    Well, it's not exactly necessary to rename a level, unless you're a perfectionist. Are you talking about the name of the page when displayed on the site? To change that, simply change the name of the level in the box when you're uploading it. To change an existing level's name, click the blue pencil on your level page and change the name.

    UPDATE: It is now requested that all uploads have the same title as the one given to the card being uploaded.

    It is increasingly difficult to manage levels scanned into the Mekorama app. The problem to re-find those levels later in the forum is then compounded by the number of levels uploaded with titles such as "Image," "Screenshot_***," "IMG_***," "Mekorama," or something completely random. Sometimes even if the upload title is just a bit different, it is enough that using the search feature in the forum doesn't help find the upload and then ratings/comments/questions cannot be made. This is particularly true when the author on the card is not set or is different from the member's name on the forum.

    Setting the title during the upload is easy and is described in the How to Share a Mekorama Level attached here. And for the sake of convenience, in the following spoiler is a screenshot of the relevant section of the document:
    [​IMG]
    Note that in this image, "Gepeto_not-so-simple" is not recommended. The underscore is not well recognized by the search engine and the dashes may be confusing. The best title would be "Not so simple" or "Not so simple - Gepeto."

    Please ensure to remove any underlines between words (if they were added) and thus keep the upload title as exact to the card title as possible. You can always add to the title though such as including a subtitle, version number, or clarification (such as the author name or the name of a series that the level belongs to).

    Thanks!
