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.
It appears that he used "Ernest C. Drury" during his political career, and that is used at goverment historical sites (e.g. [1]) and on the current school named in his honor (Ernest C. Drury School for the Deaf). That should probably be the title of the article, which would be acceptable under WP:MIDDLE. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:20, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.
The proposed title is a primary redirect to a different article. Revert back to Muhammad al-Sadr (jurist), the longstanding stable title. 162 etc. (talk) 22:04, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
#Requests to revert undiscussed moves seems like the appropriate place for this. Legend of 14 (talk) 19:42, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Got it. Thank you! TenthAvenueFreezeOut (talk) 19:44, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Literally Satan This reverts a 2023 move by @InfiniteNexus that appears undiscussed? Bensci54 (talk) 16:35, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I had trouble figuring out the move history so if it belongs in this section rather than the one I put it in then so be it. I continue to request the move for the reasons stated above. -Literally Satan (talk) 04:52, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Title has been in place for two years, disqualifying it as an auto undo of an undiscussed move. However, consider this just as a just regular new technical request, seemingly in line with the naming policy WP:NOUN over a hyphenated adjective. —Bagumba (talk) 12:37, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Bagumba: Where is this policy or guideline declaring that two years is too long to qualify as a "reversion of an undiscussed move"? NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player had an undiscussed move reverted more than five years afterwards. Left guide (talk) 18:15, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WP:TITLECHANGES. YMMV. But it seems moot, as I'm proposing to avoid WP:BURO and just process this as a policy-based technical request. —Bagumba (talk) 18:44, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
It appears that both spellings were used during his lifeltime, probably due to careless translation. But "Mattie" appears on currently his in-print biography [3], and (most importantly) his government-sanctioned historic site [4]. I recommend leaving the article as-is and adding some text on how his first name is spelled differently in some sources. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:58, 27 May 2025 (UTC
This is not an uncontroversial technical request. See WP:PCM. 162 etc. (talk) 21:53, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not done, per WP:CONCISE a shorter title without an unnecessary parenthesis is preferred. CoconutOctopus talk 12:13, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There is a WWE Evolution (2025) article for the upcoming event, support. 162 etc. (talk) 18:10, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Cinaroot Since the article falls within a WP:CTOP, any page moves can be considered controversial and should be consensus based through a RM. cyberdog958Talk 05:13, 27 May 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.
