Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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:..."

  • 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

[edit]
Most requests should be placed below this heading.
User:Chicdat could you please give some examples of similar severe tropical storm articles with only "tropical storm" in the title? I am inclined to perform the move, but I couldn't find a category of severe tropical storms to easily verify the consistency claim. Toadspike [Talk] 20:50, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Using Jarry1250's article title search tool, I find this is the only article on Wikipedia that has "Severe Tropical Storm" in its title. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:11, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

[edit]
If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

[edit]
Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
@MimirIsSmart Colons are commonly used to separate subtitles from the main title of a work. See the end of WP:SUBTITLE. References in this article also show that the name with a colon is commonly used. Toadspike [Talk] 10:59, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Noting that although most of the references use a colon, the official website doesn't (at least on the couple of pages I visited). But I think that just means we can't tell from the official site whether it's a subtitle or not, rather than being definitive. Musiconeologist (talk) 18:46, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If most independent reliable sources use a colon, Wikipedia should too – regardless of what an "official" source does. See WP:OFFICIALNAME. Officialness is basically irrelevant here. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:17, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I do not have access to the offline sources cited in the article, so I cannot assess which name order is most common in English-language sources, but this rationale is not consistent with WP:Manual_of_Style/Japan-related_articles#Modern_names, which says to follow sources and default to Japanese name order (surname first).

@Kaffet i halsen As this has been moved several times, it's not uncontroversial. You can start a requested-move discussion by clicking the "discuss" link next to your request. C F A 16:01, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@J4keeS237 See WP:OFFICIALNAME. C F A 16:02, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry if I didn't clarify better, but it shouldn't be moved just because it's the official name, but it's the most common one and that's how everyone would refer to the club, this is the name that's used throughout other pages on Wikipedia or any other source. J4keeS237 (talk) 16:34, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
[1][2][3][4] all use "Sukhumi". Do you have any reliable sources that demonstrate "Sokhumi" is the common name? C F A 16:40, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MimirIsSmart I moved it to Bassmasters (The Ren & Stimpy Show) since the redirect has been stable pointing to the unrelated fishing competition for 17 years. You can open a full move discussion (making sure to notify Talk:Bassmaster Classic) about whether it's the primary topic for "Bassmasters". --Ahecht (TALK

@Iranian112: This should be discussed, if you'd like to please click the discuss link above to open a full RM; the year already disambiguates Tahmasp's campaign of 1731 from Campaign of Tahmasp I (1552). Happily888 (talk) 02:30, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Fgnievinski This page was previously moved away from (espionage) Special:Diff/496883498. That means this request is potentially controversial – please click "discuss" in your request to open a move discussion. Toadspike [Talk] 11:12, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Dissident93 This was moved away from the proposed title in 2021 Special:Diff/1029652184. As this is a potentially controversial request, please click the "discuss" after your request to open a move discussion. Toadspike [Talk] 11:17, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not so sure consensus was reached in that Talk page discussion. It's 4-3 in favor of the move, with the supporting votes largely resting on the popularity of the Kendrick album. The opposing votes have valid points on a complex move history and WP policies on avoiding confusion with the Jimmy Smith album with the nearly identical title. I think it needs more discussion, and if there's an impasse or lack of consensus, the current arrangement is not a pressing problem that demands an immediate resolution. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:20, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I second this. Please wait for the RM to be closed. I am moving this request to the contested section. Toadspike [Talk] 20:48, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I see consensus, personally. The supporting !votes aren't just gesturing broadly at the Kendrick album's popularity, they're pointing at WP:INCDAB, a guideline which holds that a partially disambiguated title can be appropriate in cases with a sufficiently wide gulf in notability between topics. While the SMALLDETAILS line of argument went both ways in the discussion, the only opposition to the INCDAB argument was hinged on blanket opposition to partial disambiguation in general, which contravenes the current guidance. (Also, if we're talking numbers—one opposer later switched their !vote, and the 4–3 count doesn't include the nominator, so the numbers ultimately shake out to 6–2 in favor.)

The RM has been closed (by the editor who submitted the RMTR request, and within the same minute – 17:57, 28 January 2025 (UTC)). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:23, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator needed

[edit]
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.
