Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

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.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Stronghold: Crusader → Stronghold Crusader (currently a redirect back to Stronghold: Crusader) (move · discuss) – No mention of any : in the title MimirIsSmart (talk) 05:17, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Contested technical requests

Nuda (disambiguation) → Nuda (currently a redirect instead to Beroidae) (move · discuss) – There doesn't appear to be a primary topic for "Nuda". Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:18, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Revirvlkodlaku The current redirect at Nuda serves as a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. GTrang (talk) 04:30, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so can that be changed? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 10:06, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Beroidae should stay as the primary meaning, because the rest are just works of art. — Petr Matas 13:49, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain what you mean? Are works of art seen as having lower importance? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 13:59, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Works of art may not have lower importance, but real-world meanings come to the mind first. For example, Mammals are a biological class, exactly like Nuda. Other meanings are only artworks and art bands and the primary meaning is the class. — Petr Matas 14:47, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lexico → Oxford Dictionaries Online (currently a redirect back to Lexico) (move · discuss) – Talk:Lexico § Move to Oxford Dictionaries Online. Daask (talk) 20:06, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure this is uncontroversial. The history of the sites and the intellectual property is convoluted. It may benefit for full discussion. older ≠ wiser 13:50, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Daask, I agree to the above, open an RM with the discuss button. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 08:34, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Trans (*) → Trans* (move · discuss) – Per this comment. LIrala (talk) 05:21, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It requires historial swapping. LIrala (talk) 05:21, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There is no valuable history at Trans* (only a bunch of redirects to various targets), so it can simply be deleted to make way for the content of Trans (*). -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:52, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's cause it was created since a decade already. LIrala (talk) 08:48, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LIrala Wait for Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2025_January_14#Trans* to close first --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 20:39, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OKay. LIrala (talk) 08:49, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Blood-oxygen-level-dependent_imaging → Blood oxygenation level-dependent imaging (move · discuss) – Page is named with a common misabbreviation of BOLD. To correctly reflect the abbreviation in the original paper by Ogawa et al. 1990, PNAS, it should be blood oxygenation level-dependent. Skmri (talk) 01:16, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Skmri there was a discussion back in 2017 leading to the current title. Even though the change is relatively small, it may be worth having a discussion to make sure this doesn't get reverted ASUKITE 15:29, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! That discussion is regarding hyphenations, not the misabbreviation itself. Blood oxygen level is not the same thing as Blood oxygenation level. The page correctly refers to three papers by Seiji Ogawa in 1990 that first describe the phenomenon, all referring to it as Blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signal (paper 1, paper 2, paper 3). Skmri (talk) 03:34, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to comment on this that the hyphenation it should most definitely be Blood oxygenation level–dependent imaging with an endash since "blood oxygenation level" is a multi-word phrase and is modifying "dependent". See WP:ENDASH. I'll leave the distinction between oxygen and oxygenation to the RM. Bensci54 (talk) 17:09, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I agree. Skmri (talk) 03:35, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Taipei Economic and Cultural Mission in Turkey → Taipei Economic and Cultural Mission in Ankara (currently a redirect back to Taipei Economic and Cultural Mission in Turkey) (move · discuss) – The article was moved in April 2022 from WP:COMMONNAME. News reports and official websites use the former title. Taiwan does not have an official representative office in Istanbul but has wanted one since the 2000s. Maybe when it gets done there could be a namechange for the article to encompass both. DA1 (talk) 00:11, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sámi languages → Sami languages (currently a redirect back to Sámi languages) (move · discuss) – Moved for consistency in this edit, then moved back a month later in this edit without discussion and proper rationale. Florian Blaschke (talk) 14:28, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The previous move discussion on 5 March 2019 resulted in not moved to Sami languages. IMO, better to have a discussion than to move back and forth boldly. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 18:48, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Florian Blaschke Best to discuss. C F A 18:53, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bistrica, Novi Sad → Novo Naselje, Novi Sad (currently a redirect back to Bistrica, Novi Sad) (move · discuss) – I propose moving this article to Novo Naselje, Novi Sad, as this name better reflects local usage and aligns with the name used on the Serbian Wikipedia (Novo Naselje, Novi Sad). Nidzovantije (talk) 13:38, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Nidzovantije Neither name is obviously more common. Feel free to start a requested-move discussion by clicking the "discuss" link next to your request. C F A 18:56, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Zhou-class submarine → Type 041 submarine (currently a redirect back to Zhou-class submarine) (move · discuss) – Should be made WP:CONSISTENT with other PLAN submarine class article names. laptop bird ^talk _contribs 03:19, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Laptop bird "Zhou-class submarine" appears more common. Feel free to start a requested-move discussion by clicking the "discuss" link next to your request. C F A 19:12, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

John Vaughan Blake → Vaughn Blake (currently a redirect back to John Vaughan Blake) (move · discuss) – Common name for subject is Vaughn Blake; redirect blocking move Jweiss11 (talk) 19:38, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Probably best to wait while the AFD plays out. 162 etc. (talk) 19:04, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
GNOME LaTeX → Enter TeX (move · discuss) – The developer of GNOME LaTeX has renamed the project to Enter TeX and the article should be updated to reflect the change. The old title should become a redirect. CameronLP (talk) 02:01, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- CameronLP, see WP:NAMECHANGES. C F A 19:14, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Artificial cardiac pacemaker → Pacemaker (currently a redirect back to Artificial cardiac pacemaker) (move · discuss) – per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CONCISE. The vast majority of people searching for a "pacemaker" will go to this article, and the long title name may throw them off. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 03:07, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeffrey34555 This has been through an RM before [1], so this move would have to go through an RM. Toadspike [Talk] 08:48, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lodhi Colony → Lodi Colony (currently a redirect back to Lodhi Colony) (move · discuss) – updating name to match Lodi dynasty this colony is named after, Lodhi is a mispelling confused with a different Lodha/Lodhi caste. RevolutionaryPatriot (talk) 08:14, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you have a source for this? C F A 19:03, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@RevolutionaryPatriot One of two sources in article use current spelling, the one using it being more WP:RS. Agree with CFA ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:06, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The existence of the use of the spelling "Lodhi" is an established common sense fact and is also totally irrelevant to the matter.

Also I'm confused on what you're asking a source for, is it the fact that it's named after the [[Lodi dynasty]]? RevolutionaryPatriot (talk) 13:44, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nguyen Manh Tuong → Nguyễn Mạnh Tường (currently a redirect back to Nguyen Manh Tuong) (move · discuss) – Currently the page with the name with Vietnamese diacritics redirects to the article, where the title lacks diacritics; I feel it should be the other way around so that the main article title is the version with diacritics Tusurikusun (talk) 19:15, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This was moved in 2011 following the discussion about diacritics in Vietnamese articles. See Special:PermanentLink/1257912514#Requested move: Removing diacritics. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 20:59, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
New Mexico bootheel → New Mexico Bootheel (currently a redirect back to New Mexico bootheel) (move · discuss) – Fix case for proper noun Kehkou (talk) 02:23, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kehkou Was moved the other way in March. If you want to proceed with the move, please start a full RM using the discuss link above. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 03:04, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
