Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

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:..."

  • 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.

@Jay1279 If the municipality is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, then adding "Municipality" is unnecessary disambiguation. If you're arguing that the city should be the primary topic instead of the municipality, that would require a formal move discussion (click the "discuss" link in your request above). --Ahecht (TALK

@Official-Sensitive Not necessarily uncontroversial. The majority of sources refer to it as "HMP Prison Forest Bank." See WP:COMMONNAME. I suggest starting a RM discussion. You can do this by clicking "discuss" next to the page link above. C F A 💬 16:19, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Official-Sensitive: Do you have a link to this guidance? Graham (talk) 04:54, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@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
