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.
  • To request a reversion of a recent undiscussed move: Review the guidelines at WP:RMUM of whether a reversion of an undiscussed move qualifies as uncontroversial and if so, edit the Requests to revert undiscussed moves 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. Note that in some cases, clerks, such as administrators or page movers may determine that your request for a reversion does not pass the criteria and may move the request to the contested section or open a formal requested move discussion for potentially controversial moves on your behalf.
  • 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. A bot will automatically remove contested requests after 72 hours of inactivity.

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.
  • C. Chhunga → Ch. ChhungaCh. Chhunga (currently a redirect back to C. Chhunga) (move · discuss) – Academic articles use this name, this is the one that news and books use. C. Chhunga does not yield the addressed figure as much. Taitesena (talk) 11:11, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Hemant Dabral, since you moved this to the proposed title and back several years ago, could you please comment on this rationale? Toadspike [Talk] 06:31, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I was adhering to the standard of singular letter forenames common on wikipedia. As I have become well versed in this research and culture, the naming conventions are different in Mizo name. Most books and journals use Ch. Chhunga short for Chalchhunga, most government reports, news and other formal publications. It should be in alignment with this and thus I want to correct my mistaken move of before. Taitesena (talk) 10:04, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Page should be titled either C. Chhunga or Chalchhunga (full name) as Ch. Chhunga is an unlikely search term. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 12:36, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves a technical request for reverting a recent undiscussed move, place it here.
Moving these both to contested; please cite reliable sources. 162 etc. (talk) 01:58, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
162 etc. which one of the four sources I've cited are not reliable? Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 02:38, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have no opinion on the correct title, but the article cannot be moved to My Life in Pink and Ma vie en rose at the same time. @I am bad at usernames: Do you have reliable source evidence to support your proposed title? 162 etc. (talk) 14:15, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@162 etc. since the title is contested before any move discussion begins, the article should go back to its stable longstanding title. Ma vie en rose had been the title from 2006 until it was moved yesterday without discussion. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 15:06, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if they have been contested.
There are no dedicated articles for the other stations on these requests, so I don't think disambiguation is necessary. Bensci54 (talk) 19:27, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Delhi station appears to be the primary topic, with over 30x the page views. Bensci54 (talk) 19:29, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Mn1548 WP:AS refers to article size, you may have meant WP:AT, specifically the section "Deciding on an article title". I am in agreement with you that sponsored names are problematic, for pretty much the same reasons, however a lot of our community is prone to disagree, given the number of RMs which end up supporting sponsored names. I would like to see us less beholden to the whims of corporate sponsors, but I will also say that these are inherently controversial, if not because of the above, but because of multiple moves in recent history.

  • Pibb Xtra (currently a redirect to Mr. Pibb) → Mr. Pibb (move · discuss) – rebranded to Mr. Pibb and reformulated.[1] TheUSConservative (talk) 21:02, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Too soon per Lee, Virginia (October 21, 2025). "NACS Show Observations: Protein, Caffeine Everywhere". FoodInstitute.com. The company also plans to relaunch Pibb Xtra under the Mr. Pibb name (emphasis mine). Found only Pibb Xtra on the official Coca-Cola site, no press releases yet on official social media.

  • Ford I4 DOHC engine → Ford DOHC engineFord DOHC engine (currently a redirect back to Ford I4 DOHC engine) (move · discuss) – The new name is used on the cover page and forward to Ford's technical reference (copy here: https://voitec.com.pl/sierrafan/docs/dohc/dohc.pdf), and at websites like motomobile (https://www.motomobil.com/en/faqs/faqs-technical-information/engine-types/dohc-20-23l) Kumboloi (talk) 01:55, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Re "new name", did the engine previously have a different name? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:01, 20 October 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.
