If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below.

- 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: Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:

Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- James Lyon (Footballer) is invalid. Must create James Lyon (Footballer) before requesting that it be moved to James Lyon (footballer).– WP:NCCAPS 2A00:23EE:19C8:BA81:48C:2DFF:FEC5:9914 (talk) 18:33, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Eurasia Drilling Company limited (currently a redirect to Burovaya Kompaniya Eurasia) → Eurasia Drilling Company (move · discuss) – WP:NCCORP 2A00:23EE:19C8:BA81:48C:2DFF:FEC5:9914 (talk) 16:41, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Aepytus I of Arcadia (currently a redirect to Aepytus (son of Elatus)) → Aepytus (son of Elatus) (move · discuss) – Sources do not refer to him as "Aepytus I of Arcadia". "Son of Elatus" is the phrase used to distinguish him from other figures in Greek mythology called "Aepytus" in, for example, the index of Robin Hard's Routledge Handbook of Greek mythology. – Michael Aurel (talk) 09:29, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Amaniganj, Faizabad (currently a redirect to Amaniganj, Ayodhya) → Amaniganj, Ayodhya (move · discuss) – The parent article Ayodhya District has been moved away from Faizabad District and is stable there. Per WP:CONSUB, this clearly merits a move a well. Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 17:59, 22 July 2023 (UTC) Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 17:59, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
- Star Sports Network India (currently a redirect to Star Sports (India)) → Star Sports (Indian TV network) (currently a redirect instead to Star Sports (India)) (move · discuss) – Unexplained/ undiscussed page move. "Star Sports" is the common name. Refs - 1 2 3 4 Dhruv edits (talk) 13:10, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Azad Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly (currently a redirect to Azad Kashmir Legislative Assembly) → Azad Kashmir Legislative Assembly (move · discuss) – As far as I know, there was no discussion held to move the original title to the current one. WP:COMMONNAME applies and this should be reverted back to its original name, to ensure that it aligns with the articles on Azad Kashmir, Government of Azad Kashmir, President of Azad Kashmir, Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir. Until and unless there is further consensus, there is no reason to retain the new title. Mar4d (talk) 15:40, 22 July 2023 (UTC) Mar4d (talk) 15:40, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
- Mubarak Mosque, Tilford → Islamabad, Tilford (move · discuss) – The article can be expanded a lot more if the it covers the entirety of Islamabad, rather than just the Mosque HolyArtThou (talk) 23:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- @HolyArtThou: Fixed request to state that the article to be moved is Mubarak Mosque (Tilford), not Mubarak Mosque. However, is there any reason you can't develop an article out of the redirect at Islamabad, Tilford? Skarmory (talk • contribs) 00:06, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- @HolyArtThou: This seems like a full change in subject, from an individual building, to the town the building is in. This is a WP:PCM. If you wish to continue with your request, click the discuss link in your request to begin a formal WP:RM discussion. Once you've done that, or if you do not wish to continue, please remove your request. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 11:56, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- @UtherSRG: Islamabad seems to be a religious campus, including a mosque, in the village of Tilford. rather than a town. As the move has been disputed a RM makes sense. TSventon (talk) 12:27, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Seems the template needed to be updated ... again ... since the article was moved elsewhere. (See this move by Necrothesp.) Steel1943 (talk) 20:47, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
