Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

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.

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

Uncontroversial technical requests

Yamani (Shiism) → Yamani (currently a redirect instead to Al-Yamani) (move · discuss) – WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, no other article with the exact same title. Al-Yamani is a disamb. primarily based on Yamani. AimanAbir18plus (talk) 13:14, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Cyanogaster → Cyanogaster noctivaga (currently a redirect back to Cyanogaster) (move · discuss) – Genus is no longer monotypic. Need to create a genus page Big Blue Cray(fish) Twins (talk) 12:52, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Parechovirus B → Ljungan virus (currently a redirect back to Parechovirus B) (move · discuss) – Obsolete scientific name to common name. Velayinosu (talk) 02:26, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
American Sailing Association → American Sailing (move · discuss) – This company has rebranded itself 47.152.33.156 (talk) 03:52, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Template:USL divisions → Template:United Soccer League (currently a redirect instead to Template:USL Championship) (move · discuss) – I'd like this navbox to adopt the name of the primary topic it covers. The current redirect to Template:USL Championship is not currently being used [1]. This is my second request for this move, after the first was removed despite nobody actually opposing it: [2][3]. — AFC Vixen 🦊 05:11, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Óscar Scarione → Oscar Scarione (currently a redirect back to Óscar Scarione) (move · discuss) – This is the correct spelling (and pronunciation) of the player's first name in his home country. The spelling Óscar is *incorrect* in this case. I would make the move myself, but the new page contains a redirect page from the correct spelling (Oscar) to the incorrect spelling (Óscar). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Merrrlo (talk • contribs) 16:50, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Cerambycinus dubius → Cerambycinus (currently a redirect back to Cerambycinus dubius) (move · discuss) – monotypic taxa articles are more commonly at the genus rank rather than species rank. Lavalizard101 (talk) 22:30, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Discoscapa apicula → Discoscapa (currently a redirect back to Discoscapa apicula) (move · discuss) – monotypic taxa articles are more commonly at the genus rank rather than species rank. Lavalizard101 (talk) 22:30, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Gurnetia durranti → Gurnetia (currently a redirect back to Gurnetia durranti) (move · discuss) – monotypic taxa articles are more commonly at the genus rank rather than species rank. Lavalizard101 (talk) 22:30, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Southern Soldier → Draft:The Southern Soldier (currently a redirect back to The Southern Soldier) (move · discuss) – Move blocked by already-existing page. User used the button on the AfC submission template, which moves the page to draft space, but moved it to article space instead. ~ Rusty ^meow ~ 04:27, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hugues de Payens → Hugo de Paganis (currently a redirect back to Hugues de Payens) (move · discuss) – there is a longstanding dispute about their name and origin, which we already detail in the article (§ Name and Origin and early life), and the Latin name is the only one every single source agrees upon, hence being the most neutral and common. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 04:44, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

List of guests at the state funeral of Elizabeth II → List of dignitaries at the state funeral of Elizabeth II (currently a redirect back to List of guests at the state funeral of Elizabeth II) (move · discuss) – It should be moved back to its original title to be consistent with articles in the Category:Lists of funeral attendees. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 06:27, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Contested technical requests

Diamante (wrestler, born 1991) → Diamante (female wrestler) (currently a redirect back to Diamante (wrestler, born 1991)) (move · discuss) – Article moved to differentiate from the male wrestler now known as Luis Mante, following his unmasking. Propose moving article back to previous disambiguator, as there are number of male wrestlers who go by Diamante or variations of the name, such as Diamond and DMT Azul. APM (talk) 16:59, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing is technically stopping you from moving this yourself. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:46, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. WP:NCSPDAB asks us to avoid gender-specific language. Principe Diamante and Diamante Azul are WP:PTMs and are not ambiguous. 162 etc. (talk) 02:16, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it does ask us to avoid that, as long as the disambiguation works well and actually clarifies something, but I don't think that's the case here. Before clicking on it and reading the page, I could never guess which Diamante the page is about, among the ones APM mentioned and many others. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 05:03, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

AO World → AO.com (currently a redirect back to AO World) (move · discuss) – AO or AO.com is the WP:COMMONNAME as this is the trade name the company on its publicity material, and most reliable sources refer to the company as AO.com or simply AO. UltrasonicMadness (talk) 16:54, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That website states that the name of the company is "AO Retail Limited". 162 etc. (talk) 16:55, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Khushiyan → Khushiyaan (currently a redirect instead to Khushiyan) (move · discuss) – Misspelled: Spelling as per official logo of the show on YouTube 103.87.143.249 (talk) 06:46, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@UtherSRG: you reverted the proposed move two years ago, citing it as "move vandalism", just wondering why that is? At first glance it looks plausible, and the source in the article uses the two As version... — Amakuru (talk) 14:33, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
See the article history and the talk on the offending user's talk page: User_talk:Shekhawat.1953chaitanya. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:16, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wat Chulamani → Wat Chulamani, Phitsanulok (currently a redirect back to Wat Chulamani) (move · discuss) – Many temples in Thailand are titled 'Wat Chulamani', the page is better reserved for diasmb. See thwiki: th:วัดจุฬามณี, and commons commons:Category:Wat Chulamani. It just happens so that this is currently the only temple with this name on enwiki. Chainwit. (talk) 18:38, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A good point, but not necessarily relevant until there are additional articles about other temples of the same name. Also, if this one were to be moved, I think naming conventions would require Wat Chulamani (Phitsanulok province). ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:47, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali → Siti Hasmah (currently a redirect back to Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali) (move · discuss) – Siti Hasmah is the common name of the subject (supported by here) and the current article should be move to conform with WP:COMMONNAME. 183.171.113.23 (talk) 03:46, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There has been a prior RM on the talk page, which arrived at the current name, so at best should be discussed. Also worth bearing in mind that her recently-stated personal preference is not to include the Siti part, although sources don't seem to necessary follow that.[1] — Amakuru (talk) 16:12, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
FC Zhetysu → FC Jetisu (currently a redirect back to FC Zhetysu) (move · discuss) – "Jetisu" is the more concise and commonly used form, consistent with naming of the region on Kazakhstan (e.g., Jetisu and Jetisu Region). "Zhetysu" is also Russian transliteration. Ashkazakh (talk) 18:06, 21 April 2025 (UTC) Ashkazakh (talk) 18:06, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I contested this last time, so you really shouldn't be bringing this to WP:RMT again.

"Zhetysu" is the correct BGN/PCGN romanization. No English-language sources cited. Note that the Jetisu article title is the result of an undiscussed move, and should probably be reverted and go to discussion. 162 etc. (talk) 22:10, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Prithvi Vallabh (TV series) → Prithvi Vallabh – Itihaas Bhi, Rahasya Bhi (move · discuss) – disambiguation needed 103.87.143.227 (talk) 09:36, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Current title already includes a disambiguation and the the requested title is less concise Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 14:10, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Udo (disambiguation) → Udo (move · discuss) – Putting disambiguation as the primary target CMD (talk) 04:40, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Demotion of a primary topic does not seem obviously uncontroversial, and no rationale was provided for the action. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:46, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
When I google Udo, the top hit is our page U.D.O., not even one of the entries. The second is a person (Udo Dirkschneider), but the third is a Merriam-Webster page on a plant[2]. Other first page hits include a company, a street dance competition, and the University of Derby. Please provide your thoughts on why an SIA is a primary topic over these. CMD (talk) 01:23, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Romanian revolution → Romanian Revolution (currently a redirect back to Romanian revolution) (move · discuss) – Per MOS:MILTERMS, more commonly capitalized than not. Revert undiscussed move. 🐔 Chicdat ^{Bawk to me!} 12:57, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Uppercase-versus-lowercase for the word "Revolution" has been rather contentious in recent RMs (including two RMs that are currently ongoing and one that was closed in favour of lowercase), so this is not uncontroversial. It is also not a revert of a recent undiscussed move, since the mentioned renaming was nearly two years ago. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:10, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Uppercasing seems correct per the n-grams which reflect the trend of uppercasing successful revolutions after a few decades have passed, as in this case. Good idea Chicdat, but this is controversial and would have to be discussed in a full RM. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:26, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree this is controversial. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 14:20, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Money Box (radio programme) → Money Box (currently a redirect instead to Piggy bank) (move · discuss) – Unnecessary disambiguator Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 21:29, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Is this obscure radio program really both notable and the primary topic over Money box redirecting to Piggy bank? Pppery (alt) (talk) 03:42, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jean-de-Nivelle A discussion would help resolve any questions regarding the primary topic for this primary redirect target. Also - I could see other topics contending for this title, such as Donation box. I'll add the caveat that "Money Box" is uppercase, (WP:SMALLDIFFS), but that edge case is still best resolved in a discussion. ASUKITE 15:21, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see that User:Amakuru has retargeted the redirect to "piggy bank" in any case, leaving 50-odd links pointing to an inappropriate page. I'll let someone else fix this mess. Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 20:57, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed the links. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 14:55, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Božidarević → Bosdari (currently a redirect back to Božidarević) (move · discuss) – Pretty much all notable members of this family are referred to as Bosdari according to modern bibliography. Kj1595 (talk) 01:09, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure this is uncontroversial... there is some brief chatter from 2009 on the talk page, in which editors suggested it should be Božidarević, and then a 2014/2015 bold move as proposed here was reverted. The premise is plausible, but it probably needs a full RM with evidence. — Amakuru (talk) 12:22, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Lukarić → Luccari (currently a redirect back to Lukarić) (move · discuss) – Same with the Luccari family whose name, like the Bosdari, is slavicized, in contradition with modern bibliography. Kj1595 (talk) 01:09, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Similar to Božidarević, a prior move was also reverted to again, probably controversial. — Amakuru (talk) 12:23, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Zaxby's → Zaxbys (currently a redirect back to Zaxby's) (move · discuss) – Correct name per website and sources Yeshivish613 (talk) 12:59, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
More of the sources have the apostrophe than do not. Bensci54 (talk) 14:23, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agro Nocerino Sarnese → Agro nocerino-sarnese (currently a redirect back to Agro Nocerino Sarnese) (move · discuss) – the name is dashed (without a dash, it gets a different meaning in Italian) and adjectives don't get capitalized in Italian, check it:Agro nocerino-sarnese and the sources on page Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 02:41, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ineligible for a technical move request here and must go through a full discussion as a potentially controversial move. Please see also Talk:Agro nocerino-sarnese#Requested move 20 February 2021 2. In fact, most recent move—back to the longstanding, stable article title—in the history is because Justlettersandnumbers told the admin (just three weeks after the RM) that your technical move request was against consensus. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 09:49, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Stibinin → Stibabenzene (currently a redirect back to Stibinin) (move · discuss) – more correct 62.18.105.107 (talk) 15:53, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In what way? (On the off chance this is obvious to somebody more familiar with chemistry, I won't hold this up!) ASUKITE 16:01, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is not obvious that the proposed move is "more correct" or more common. This should go through RM. Mdewman6 (talk) 22:45, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
