Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Exercise and cerebral palsy (currently a redirect to Management of cerebral palsy) → Management of cerebral palsy (move · discuss) – revert undiscussed page move by new editor, with odd edit summary "Publish page to mainspace: new article", and without moving its talk page. Stable title since 2017 consensus move, following discussion at WTMED (93). 2A00:23EE:1848:7FA:98EC:F7FF:FE49:F927 (talk) 06:14, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- Olha Kharlan (currently a redirect to Olga Kharlan) → Olga Kharlan (move · discuss) – the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources); 789K vs 57K google hits; the current name should still be a redirect 2603:7000:2101:AA00:2CF5:4959:8F33:F1E (talk) 04:19, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
Contested technical requests
- Northcote Lodge School (currently a redirect to Broomwood school) → Broomwood School (currently a redirect instead to Broomwood school) (move · discuss) – School name changed in rebrand SuzieO2608 (talk) 16:13, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- The school's website at [1] suggests this change will happen in September 2023, so at best this is premature. Also needs to show that WP:NAMECHANGES is satisfied. — Amakuru (talk) 16:27, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- Vostok Games (currently a redirect to VG Entertainment) → VG Entertainment (move · discuss) – Company's official announcement:'VG Entertainment Ltd (the head company) announced the decision to discontinue to use the Vostok Games trademark. For now, the studio will be operating under the name of VG Entertainment, and use a new logo. More details: https://vgentertainment.com/our-news/we-become-vg-entertainment/' Coregal (talk) 02:29, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- WP:NAMECHANGE is applicable, until there are third party independent English sources, we then can consider moving to the official name. – robertsky (talk) 10:20, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Vidisha (actress) (currently a redirect to Vidisha Srivastava) → Vidisha Srivastav (currently a redirect instead to Vidisha Srivastava) (move · discuss) – Her professional name has always been Vidisha Srivastav. Srivastav is her WPM: COMMON NAME and is used everywhere including social link pages, media accounts and websites. Ulises70+- (talk) 13:35, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Ulises70+-: That is not a proper application of WP:COMMONNAME. Gsearches for "Vidisha" "actress" -Wikipedia return orders of magnitude more results than for "Vidisha Srivastav". 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) 13:44, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- XAI (company) → XAI (currently a redirect instead to Xai) (move · discuss) – Remove unnecessary parentheses/disambiguator Strugglehouse (talk) 17:57, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- Contesting. Target of the redirect was recently changed – I'd be more inclined to point XAI to Xai until the company is deemed to be the primary topic (which, for clarification, is named xAI). Skarmory (talk • contribs) 22:35, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- Pretty sure it is the primary topic. Google "xAI". Almost all the sources refer to this company. Strugglehouse (talk) 22:42, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- Explainable AI gets a decent amount of hits too, and it predominates in books (unsurprisingly, given the company is a few months old – this also may be a case of recentism as such). Long-term significance is another one of the primary topic criteria.
- This is only really a problem because of the way Wikipedia handles the first letter of names – if we could title the article xAI, there'd be no issue. I'm not entirely sure the procedure for PTOPIC in cases like this, but I assume both xAI and XAI are included in the calculation. It's not a very common case, and I'm sure someone else other than me would see this as controversial, so it should go through the full RM process. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 23:10, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- Template: Lowercase title can be used, so the title of the page can be displayed as xAI. A hatenote, such as Template: Distinguish, can be used to link to Xai and Explainable Artificial Intelligence. Strugglehouse (talk) 00:09, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

- Khowar language (currently a redirect to Khowar) → Khowar (move · discuss) – Perform requested move, see talk page (permalink) SilverLocust 💬 22:35, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- Khowar language is move protected. This appears to be the first requested move, though there have been prior cut-and-paste moves. (So this also requires a round-robin move.) SilverLocust 💬 22:35, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
