Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

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:..."

• To list a technical request: 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.

  Is this a "round-robin"? If so, I have page mover right and would like to try doing it as I never did one before. Would that be in order? Maybe someone could check I did it OK? Selfstudier (talk) 12:37, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Administrator needed

Edit this section if your request requires an administrator (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.

• The London (song) (currently a redirect to The London) → The London (move · discuss) – Unambiguous. There is some page history at The London however, and I'm unfamiliar with the procedure regarding that. 162 etc. (talk) 04:58, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Moving this to admin section as it will require either history merge (or speedy deletion) of The London into its current redirect target prior to making the move.Polyamorph (talk) 05:26, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
