Change URL on lists and libraries in SharePoint 2013

I have been told that this is impossible several times. Still I had a requirement to do this, and in SharePoint online its easy. I thought to myself that it should be as easy in the on-premise version so I decided to google it.

After reading through a couple of blogs I still somewhat in the dark. I found one that said it was as easy as to open SharePoint designer 2013 and rename the list(just as in 2010 they said). This however did not work.
I opened the list, changed the name, but the URL was still the same.

But after some searching I found the solution in the comment field of this blog post http://www.idubbs.com/blog/2012/sharepoint-2013-list-library-app-naming/.

SharePoint designer is the way to go. This is how to do it:

• Go to All files
• Find the list in the Lists folder or library in the root of All files
• Rename it 
• That's it

For those who don't have access to SharePoint Designer:

If you don't have option to open the site in SharePoint Designer then you must save the list as site template and create a new list with that template. But, make sure dependencies like lookup columns, workflows, event receivers etc.

I would say that I would not mind if the SharePoint team made this possible directly from the browser in on-premise SharePoint too, but I guess they have their reasons?
