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]
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.

Contested technical requests

[edit]
Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
@Nederlandse Leeuw It appears that "State cuisine" is a lot more common looking at Category:Indian cuisine by state or union territory, so probably the first sentence should be updated instead, agree on the capitalization of cuisine though. Or maybe "West Bengali cuisine" in line with the parent article Bengali cuisine - also note there's an eponymous category - Category:West Bengal cuisine that should probably stay in sync if there's a change to the article title.

@Finnusertop It is currently a list article of recipients, so the current title seems appropriate in line with WP:NCLIST - are you planning to change the scope of the article to actually explain the Paralympic Order award in greater detail and transform the article from the list article that it currently is?

It looks like this has previously been contested and someone meant to open an RM but didn't. I will open one so that it can be discussed. Toadspike [Talk] 13:11, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Kwamikagami Not done – this move was contested back in 2022 [1] and will have to go through an RM. Toadspike [Talk] 13:44, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Diana0134 Another article exists at that title, you will need to start a requested move if you believe this one takes priority CoconutOctopus talk 14:28, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mvcg66b3r The current title follows WP:USPLACE. An argument could be made that groups of cities should be treated differently from individual cities, but this is complex enough that it should be discussed at a move request. Please click the "discuss" link in your request if you wish to open a discussion. Toadspike [Talk] 09:23, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Libraa2019 A similar search for "Seemi Raheel" also turns up plenty of results. This should be discussed in a Requested Move discussion; please click the "discuss" link in your request to open one. Toadspike [Talk] 09:51, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Yyannako The talk page has two recent failed RMs proposing similar changes, so this is not uncontroversial. Toadspike [Talk] 16:38, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Yyannako Per above – if the other move is controversial, I doubt this one is uncontroversial. Please open an RM by clicking the "discuss" link in your request if you wish to pursue this further. Toadspike [Talk] 16:40, 6 July 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.
