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 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.

Technical requests

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

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed in this section, at the bottom.

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.

I am open to persuasion, but I don't think this is an uncontroversial technical request. PatGallacher (talk) 22:32, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Atchom: Because this move is potentially controversial, 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 💬 08:00, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TheMainLogan: The current title is used as her name in JKT48's profile, as well as her Twitter (at that link) and Instagram (at the article). While this may not be her common name, there may be a need to disambiguate from other singers named Freya [1]. Because this move is potentially controversial, 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 💬 09:10, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. There is another active institution at The Lincoln Academy of Illinois, which has the state in its official name but I don't think that allows the Maine academy to have the basic namespace here. We also have Lincoln Academy (Kings Mountain, North Carolina), which is defunct but still of historical interest and therefore equally notable to the Maine academy. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:34, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Mrn5768: This is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. See pageviews. - Station1 (talk) 19:08, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter whether the other institutions are currently operating or not. That has nothing to do with choosing Wikipedia article titles. (The one in Greensboro, North Carolina is also currently operating – see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 August 11#The Academy at Lincoln.) —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 23:45, 11 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.
