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:..."

• 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: 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.
• To request a reversion of a recent undiscussed move: Review the guidelines at WP:RMUM of whether a reversion of an undiscussed move qualifies as uncontroversial and if so, the Requests to revert undiscussed moves 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. Note that in some cases, clerks, such as administrators or page movers may determine that your request for a reversion does not pass the criteria and may move the request to the contested section or open a formal requested move discussion for potentially controversial moves on your behalf.
• 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. A bot will automatically remove contested requests after 72 hours of inactivity.

Uncontroversial technical requests

• Fata Morgana (mirage) → Fata morganaFata morgana (currently a redirect instead to Fata Morgana) (move · discuss) – Per WP:BROADTOPIC and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC PhotographyEdits (talk) 15:57, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
• Come Live With Me Angel (song) (currently a redirect to Come Live with Me Angel) → Come Live with Me Angel (move · discuss) – Previous article for song was redirected to album; new article was started at unnecessarily disambiguated title. Histmerge has been done; request pageswap so that article resides at the non-disambiguated title. 2406:3003:2077:1E60:C998:20C6:8CCF:5730 (talk) 18:24, 17 August 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.

Contested technical requests

• Morta (queen) (currently a redirect to Morta of Lithuania) → Morta of Lithuania (move · discuss) – This will be a page name that will not only honor her status but will also distinguish her as there are few other historical figures as high ranking as Morta OnePurposeAccount2022 (talk) 11:48, 16 August 2022 (EET)
  • OnePurposeAccount2022 Are there any other queens called Morta? From a quick search and looking at Morta I'm inclined to contest this unless there are WP:CONSISTENCY issues. -Kj cheetham (talk) 21:56, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
