Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

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: 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

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

• Evening Standard British Film Awards 2009 → Evening Standard British Film Awards 2008 (currently a redirect instead to Evening Standard British Film Awards 2007) (move · discuss) – The article's description stated that the 2009 Evening Standard British Film Awards are intended to honor British and Irish films of 2008 and just happen to be held the following year and not at the end of the filmmaking year like the BIFA Awards do, for example. Even the Evening Standard British Film Awards main article itself refers to 2009 winners as 2008 ones (see that year in the 2001–2010 Winners section), so to avoid confusion, it is better to be renamed according to the main page article.

• Gējì → Geji (currently a redirect back to Gējì) (move · discuss) – Per WP:ZHNAME the non-diacritical name of Geji is preferred. However, I cannot make the change because "Geji" currently just exists as a redirect. Brocade River Poems (She/They) 20:48, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

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.

• Mount Kaba (Ibaraki) → Mount Kaba, Ibaraki (currently a redirect back to Mount Kaba (Ibaraki)) (move · discuss) – I made the name change, but I made a mistake, by putting Ibaraki with a double I. The system does not let me correct it, or I do not know how to correct it. Place names in Japan, form: name, prefecture. Examples: Mito, Ibaraki, Machida, Tokyo, Hannan, Osaka. For this case it should be: Mount Kaba, Ibaraki Jkasutoro (talk) 01:54, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

@Jkasutoro: The bracketed dab seems to be the standardised dab if you looked through Category:Mountains_of_Japan_by_prefecture. I have reverted your move back to the bracketed version as it is a mispelling as well. Do open a move discussion if you wish to update the disambiguator for all mountain dabs. – robertsky (talk) 09:34, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

• Hollywood blacklist → Hollywood Blacklisting (move · discuss) – First, the word "blacklist" should be capitalized. Second, the article is not merely a list of those who were blacklisted, but rather a documentation of the entire phenomenon. Thus, it should be named "Hollywood Blacklisting", as it refers to the lead up, diedown, and specific people and grander background politics involved.

  @Narfhead: Per MOS:CAPS, blacklist would be capitalized here if consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of sources. Google Ngrams shows that "Hollywood blacklist" is instead the most common form. I also don't see how adding -ing would expand the scope of the article. If you would like to request this move anyway, you can begin a requested-move discussion by clicking "discuss" on your request. You can remove this request after opening a discussion (or if you do not want to continue). SilverLocust 💬 14:55, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

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.
