Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

  • Please make sure you really need technical assistance before making a request here. In particular, if the target page is a redirect back to the source page that has only one revision, you can usually move the page normally.
  • To list a technical request: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
    {{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
    
    This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
  • If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
  • If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Clearly, WP:RECENTISM is a factor in this sports player's current popularity. (This is just a comment, not an objection.) —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:55, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Request edited to reflect the actual intent, which is to move User:JMartin75/sandbox to Troubador Press. This is not an expression of opinion on the merits. Regarding "approved", this was self-approved by the nominator. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:21, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Contested technical requests

It appears that he used "Ernest C. Drury" during his political career, and that is used at goverment historical sites (e.g. [1]) and on the current school named in his honor (Ernest C. Drury School for the Deaf). That should probably be the title of the article, which would be acceptable under WP:MIDDLE. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:20, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Cinaroot Since the article falls within a WP:CTOP, any page moves can be considered controversial and should be consensus based through a RM. cyberdog958Talk 05:13, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jason Lagos "Cathedral of Our Lady" is not an administrative division, so "Antwerp" is not a higher-level administrative division. Therefore WP:COMMADIS does not apply --Ahecht (TALK

Thank you for your answer, though I am a bit surprised by it, as I would consider a building to be a "place", albeit not a geographic one. If WP:COMMADIS does not apply here, can we at least agree that a comma is preferable as per WP:TITLECON? I have seen relatively few articles on buildings with city names between brackets, and this is the only one among the Roman Catholic churches in Antwerp, which makes it somewhat of an anomaly.

@Anohthterwikipedian Since the merge of Capital ẞ into ß was the result of a discussion at Talk:ß/Archive 1#Merge Capital ẞ here?, I think a discussion would be needed here to move the the uppercase letter, especially given how recent and controversial the uppercase form is. --Ahecht (TALK

@BroJac5246 This primary topic grab doesn't seem clearly correct to me. jlwoodwa (talk) 18:09, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, I would recommend this be a full RM discussion, not a technical request. jlwoodwa (talk) 18:12, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Altenmann Article has been moved back from draft to main after draftifying so will need RM consensus to return to draft, per WP:DRAFTNO CoconutOctopus talk 19:20, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
