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

Uncontroversial technical requests

[edit]
Most requests should be placed below this heading.
But, it doesn't appear Yusuke Suzuki (footballer) was deleted? Mdewman6 (talk) 22:48, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Per the logs, it had been WP:PRODded and was undeleted following WP:RFU#Yusuke Suzuki (footballer). Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 23:36, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Talk:Prostitution in the State of Palestine cannot be moved to Talk:Prostitution in Palestine because the talk page redirect has history that blocks the move. A page swap may be needed. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:55, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

[edit]
If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

[edit]
Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
Wikipedia basically never formats a title in a way as redundant as this – i.e., including an acronym and its corresponding spelled-out words. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:42, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Kuripenjwen Given the edit history, it would great if you have more sources before pushing this to mainspace – robertsky (talk) 06:01, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@DataNomad Note the above. – robertsky (talk) 06:03, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This was previously contested here and an RM is open on the talk page. Tenshi! (Talk page) 15:45, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It seems like a class of substances. There is an exception in WP:SINGULAR for such cases. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:56, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, there is a chembox for the specific compound, but then most of the body of the article is about the class. The singular seems consistent with articles for analogous compounds, but happy to discuss at RM (at least, there seems to be enough uncertainty here to merit an RM).
This is definitely potentially controversial and should go through a normal RM. Mdewman6 (talk) 22:45, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Contentious topic partially nominated for deletion (twice). Article has only existed for a few days. Spirited discussion on the article's Talk page. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:59, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Seems WP:PCM then. Mdewman6 (talk) 22:48, 2 May 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.
