Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shortcuts

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:..."

If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

  • If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please submit it for review at Articles for creation, by adding the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft or user sandbox page instead of listing it here.
  • Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself.
  • If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.
  • 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.

Technical requests

Edit this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests

[edit]
Most requests should be placed below this heading.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

[edit]
If your request involves reverting a recent move, place it here.
Article gets single-digit daily pageviews and is unlikely to be the primary topic. This can be uncontroversially moved to Red Stone (video game). A discussion can be started if you want to argue for the undisambiguated Red Stone. 162 etc. (talk) 04:41, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is a request to revert an undiscussed move from 17 May, so must be reverted first. Then anyone can initiate a move request to a longer title. Station1 (talk) 13:35, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The move to Red Stone was actually undiscussed itself. 162 etc. (talk) 16:22, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Contested technical requests

[edit]
Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
@AHI-3000 the current title was the result of a move discussion in 2018, so changing it should require another discussion. ASUKITE 19:39, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It was purposely moved away from that due to being too vague, so I'd heavily recommend against attempting to move it back there. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:39, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The move in the other direction was five years ago, so it cannot be reverted speedily. The article says Blak Prophetz was a group, not an individual person. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:49, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Clarityfiend The pageviews do not agree that it is the obvious primary topic, and it shows that there are several entries that are not even listen on the DAB page. cyberdog958Talk 08:21, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Yyannako There is sufficient discussion here that shows that this move is not entirely uncontroversial so an RM should be performed. cyberdog958Talk 03:56, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator needed

[edit]
Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.
