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 this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.
This is not an uncontroversial technical request, for the rationale given the move would need to be raised per Wikipedia:Requested moves. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 09:58, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.

@GreatLeader1945: This technical request has been contested. As such, it would require a requested-move discussion, which you can begin by clicking "discuss" on your request. You can remove this request after opening a discussion (or if you do not want to continue). SilverLocust 💬 05:34, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely not uncontroversial, there have been multiple page moves and at least one RM. Please open a discussion by clicking the discuss link next to the proposed title, or remove your request. – MaterialWorks 16:31, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't see how this is a tautology. "Stereotypes in the United States" would be the base of the tree. This article by its title should be about stereotypex existing in the United States about a subset of its citizens, those of East Asian extraction, then East Asian Americans. If you saw "Stereotypes of African Americans in the United States" would you also say it should be "Stereotypes of Africans in the United States" (of Africans in Africa, for example) ? Clearly stereotypes of African Americans and stereotypes of Africans are different, are they not? Indeed Stereotypes of East Asians in the United States (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) should be a separate article on this different topic. -- 65.92.244.99 (talk) 03:59, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Administrator needed

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.
