How to change file name of a file uploaded inside wiki while keeping change history?

Question

inside wiki I have this: [[file:MF - AAA - QC Sheet.pdf]], which links to the actual PDF file.

What I need.

I need to change the file name (remove AAA -), while keeping change history of the file, but so far have had no luck.

What I have tried

directly editing the link (which does not change file name but breaks the link)
uploading a new file (with a new file name) and changing the link (for some reason wiki says I have broken links and does not let me click to the file)- plus, now I have two files, and wiki gives me a duplicate file warning)

How can I do this?

What you should try is to move the file. Go to http://yourdomain/wiki/Special:MovePage/File:MF - AAA - QC Sheet.pdf and enter the new name.
