Shortcuts

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.
  • Awol (currently a redirect to Desertion) → AWOL (currently a redirect instead to Desertion) (move · discuss) – I am performing a split (with consensus) and accidentally created the new page at the un-capitalized title, when the all-caps version (currently a redirect page) is correct and common use. My bad! Since the page already exists, it seems I have to make a request here. Also, I'm not sure how this works, but the old title should redirect to the new one (I can re-create the redirect manually if that's best) Just-a-can-of-beans (talk) 20:28, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fall of Zinjibar and Jaar (currently a redirect to Fall of Zinjibar and Jaar (2015)) → Fall of Zinjibar and Jaʽār (2015) (restricted by the titleblacklist, which page movers can override) (move · discuss) – per rm here Wont let me move since this title is on some blacklist. >>> Extorc.talk 06:05, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The parenthetical is unnecessary and Fall of Zinjibar and Jaʽār seems unambiguous. Also, I note that Aljazeera uses "Jaar", what justification do you have for the extra diacritics? 162 etc. (talk) 15:48, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Intrisit: Page movers can only suppress redirects if it's part of a round-robin move they're performing, it's not appropriate to leave the non-redirect dangling for a potential future action by another editor. A page mover could complete the three-way move of Template:USL divisions → Template:USL Championship 2025 → Template:USL Championship, but I'm a bit confused since Template:USL divisions is a redirect to Template:United Soccer League and doesn't seem appropriate for that title. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 21:23, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well noted! But you're an admin now, previously a page mover who also had other user rights I wish I had! Since I needed an admin to execute this due to my user rights restrictions, this should have moved to the "Admin needed" section. But since you responded, AFC Vixen wanted a move from the "Template:USL divisions" title to the "Template:United Soccer League" one which I used the {{db-move}} tag (a CSD G6 sub-tag) to execute. The "Template:USL Championship 2025" title was just a placeholder since I could only move the {{USL Championship}} template over a redirect to the "Template:United Soccer League" title.

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.
Needs discussion, including overwhelming WP:COMMONNAME evidence of the lowercase "r". 162 etc. (talk) 17:27, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. WP:NCSPDAB asks us to avoid gender-specific language. Principe Diamante and Diamante Azul are WP:PTMs and are not ambiguous. 162 etc. (talk) 02:16, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it does ask us to avoid that, as long as the disambiguation works well and actually clarifies something, but I don't think that's the case here. Before clicking on it and reading the page, I could never guess which Diamante the page is about, among the ones APM mentioned and many others. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 05:03, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No objection to Diamante (American wrestler), if consensus prefers. 162 etc. (talk) 19:56, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jean-de-Nivelle A discussion would help resolve any questions regarding the primary topic for this primary redirect target. Also - I could see other topics contending for this title, such as Donation box. I'll add the caveat that "Money Box" is uppercase, (WP:SMALLDIFFS), but that edge case is still best resolved in a discussion. ASUKITE 15:21, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I see that User:Amakuru has retargeted the redirect to "piggy bank" in any case, leaving 50-odd links pointing to an inappropriate page. I'll let someone else fix this mess. Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 20:57, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've fixed the links. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:55, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@AimanAbir18plus There is two other people with "Yamani" in their name, perhaps it would be better to move the disambiguate to Yamani instead. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 02:48, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
German name is the WP:COMMONNAME for the movie. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 02:48, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Sophisticatedevening WP:PRIMARYTOPIC changes are not uncontroversial and the pageviews for all the links on the DAB page do not help the argument that there is not a primary topic. cyberdog958Talk 00:34, 28 April 2025 (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.
