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.
  • 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.

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.
@Pogenplain There were two attempts to move this in 2013 at Talk:Kutub_al-Sittah. While it's very likely that usage or opinions could've changed in the last 11 years, it would require a new discussion. Please click the "discuss" link in your request above to open a full move request. --Ahecht (TALK

@Peter G Werner This has been moved two times in the past so I suggest starting a requested move discussion to avoid issues. C F A 💬 00:28, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Denniscabrams Per MOS:BIOEXCEPT an overwhelming majority of sources use "JR", as it's short for "Junior" not an initialism. --Ahecht (TALK

  • Gray Television (currently a redirect to Gray Media) → Gray Media (move · discuss) – New trade name per press release [1] Mvcg66b3r (talk) 05:29, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Support: Yep, the offical website of Gray Television/Media even calls it Gray Media. mer764KCTV5 / Cospaw the Wolfo (He/Him | t • c) 13:13, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    FYI, per WP:NAMECHANGES we don't just take new names directly from the source (so this press release & the official site aren't sufficient), we use the common name, but I did find a source that appears to use the new name (which is what we do need to see): 1, my only issue is that it's effectively a reprint of the press release, and I'm not seeing a lot of other coverage indicating a change in common name.

    @Mvcg66b3r Why did you submit this as a technical request? You are autoconfirmed and neither title is move protected, and this page is only for when you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons. If you want to open a move discussion, you can do so by following the instructions at WP:PCM. --Ahecht (TALK

@Mvcg66b3r Moved to contested due to common name issue & fact that it can be moved by the requester. I won't dispute this if you move it yourself, but if somebody reverts it, you will need to open a move discussion. Thanks! ASUKITE 15:44, 19 July 2024 (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.
