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

Sheikh Hasina Medical University Khulna → Khulna Medical University (currently a redirect back to Sheikh Hasina Medical University Khulna) (move · discuss) – Change to Khulna Medical University, as it is the common name and match with the district and division name[1], and Sheikh Hasina Medical University is also mentioned in the article. 2400:C600:4716:BD5A:1:0:6B8E:7FA6 (talk) 16:14, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Prayagraj → Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad (currently a redirect back to Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Prayagraj) (move · discuss) – At offical website ( https://www.mnnit.ac.in/ ) and everywhere elese it still has "Allahabad" in name, which is not replased by Prayagraj but Prayagraj is added after Allahabad as city name. It has a sister university/institute National Institute of Technology Calicut which also has old name of city in the name like it. 175.184.252.190 (talk) 19:24, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Impact Wrestling Unbreakable → TNA Unbreakable (currently a redirect back to Impact Wrestling Unbreakable) (move · discuss) – Unbreakable 2025 was announced yesterday and has the TNA branding on it Unknownuser45266 (talk) 23:46, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
2018 Assam local election → 2018 Assam local elections (currently a redirect back to 2018 Assam local election) (move · discuss) – WP:CONSISTENT — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 08:17, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Template:Odyssey navbox → Template:Odyssey (currently a redirect instead to Template:Cite Odyssey) (move · discuss) – Per discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2025 February 5#Template:Odyssey, there is consensus in favor of renaming this template. Trailblazer101 (talk) 09:44, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
LADOK (currently a redirect to Ladok) → Ladok (move · discuss) – LADOK has changed name to Ladok, there is some old redirect page (Ladok->LADOK) that I cannot overwrite for some reason. Fredrikdomeij (talk) 10:18, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Yenisey → Yenisei (currently a redirect back to Yenisey) (move · discuss) – Undiscussed sudden move followed by a simple search-and-replace throughout the article, always a warning sign. "Yenisei" is not a romanisation, it's the traditional spelling of the river in English; note that the category is still spelled with I. Florian Blaschke (talk) 17:33, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Not done. That move was done more than four years ago, which by WP:TITLECHANGES easily makes it the stable title. Best to open a discussion rather than to revert it after all this time. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 23:00, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Contested technical requests

Wikipedia community → Wikipedians (currently a redirect back to Wikipedia community) (move · discuss) – better name Astropulse (talk) 06:55, 15 February 2025 (UTC)Astropulse (talk) 06:55, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The current title indicates that the article covers larger phenomena than just the vague mass of people called Wikipedians. Also, "better name" according to whom? ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:37, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This deserves a full discussion. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:41, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
2025 Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras season → 2025 SE Palmeiras season (move · discuss) – Per main article. Also for the previous seasons 2024, 2023,..., 2008. Svartner (talk) 02:15, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Svartner, are you suggesting to change the entire category of articles? ie. Category:Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras seasons. – robertsky (talk) 11:27, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, they changed the name of the main article and forgot to change the relative forks. Svartner (talk) 16:36, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Mason & Associates → IAMJAMES (move · discuss) – The company rebranded, this is the correct title now Jamesmasonusyd (talk) 00:46, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Source? The company website is still referring to it by the old name. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 05:32, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jamesmasonusyd This has already been contested on your talk page prior to this request, plus your article you created for this title has been denied. As such, this is a contested move and cannot be handled at this venue. You can start a full RM by clicking discuss next to your request above, but be prepared to present evidence that complies with WP:NAMECHANGE TiggerJay (talk) 05:45, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We need this a consensus for this per TiggerJay, and need a source that "IAMJAMES" is the new name of the company. ROY is WAR Talk! 21:59, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This article is now up for AfD as it seems to fail GNG. Also of note is that this page has been largely copy-pasted to Draft:IAMJAMES which is currently held up for RS issues, which is the basis for the AfD of this source article. TiggerJay (talk) 15:31, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Garhwal Kingdom → Kingdom of Garhwal (currently a redirect back to Garhwal Kingdom) (move · discuss) – More appropriate when talking about kingdoms in the past. S.S Rautela (talk) 16:52, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't follow that logic at all... "Garhwal Kingdom" and "Kingdom of Garhwal" both seem to mean the same thing, with the former slightly more concise and ngrams not hugely conclusive.[2] I think I'd like to see a more concrete reason for this move if it's to be deemed uncontroversial. — Amakuru (talk) 10:05, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@S.S Rautela Contested - FlightTime (open channel) 18:17, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mark to model → Mark-to-model (currently a redirect back to Mark to model) (move · discuss) – standardize with Mark-to-market Tule-hog (talk) 22:50, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The comparison is named Mark-to-market accounting so the hyphenation makes sense. Mark to model by itself would likely not need hyphenation. –CWenger (^ • @) 02:32, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note it is hyphenated throughout the article regardless of an appended 'accounting'. Tule-hog (talk) 07:13, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Feldenkrais Method → Feldenkrais method (currently a redirect back to Feldenkrais Method) (move · discuss) – per MOSCAPS Primergrey (talk) 06:58, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Primergrey: You haven't provided any reason to believe that this phrase isn't "consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources" (MOS:CAPS). A Google Ngrams search suggests that it likely is. This move is potentially controversial, so it would require a requested-move discussion. If you decide to open one, I would urge you to explain why you believe the standard of MOS:CAPS is not met. You can remove this request after opening a discussion (or if you do not want to continue). SilverLocust 💬 08:32, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
From the MOSCAPS page, phrases like "Hermitian matrix or Lorentz transformation, Down syndrome" are not capped. Every move is potentially controversial, so unless you yourself have a problem with it...Primergrey (talk) 09:50, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not so sure that MOS:SCIMATH applies to alternative medicine. And as noted here at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Controversial, the discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. SilverLocust 💬 11:16, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Siberian Wikipedia (2 nomination) → Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Siberian Wikipedia (2nd nomination) (currently a redirect instead to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Siberian Wikipedia (3rd nomination)) (move · discuss) – Ordinal numbers are used for WP:AFD nominations instead of cardinal numbers. PK2 (talk; contributions) 00:11, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@PK2: I don't think that's a good idea – it would break all existing links to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Siberian Wikipedia (2nd nomination) that are intended for the 2010 discussion rather than the 2009 discussion, including links in edit summaries (which cannot be altered). jlwoodwa (talk) 01:36, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Gaye holud → Gaye Holud (currently a redirect back to Gaye holud) (move · discuss) – Grammatical error Ahammed Saad (talk) 20:37, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not clear what you mean by "grammatical error", the rest of the article seems to use the term in lowercase. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:56, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ahammed Saad Please give a clarification to the above. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 07:48, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Gaye Holud is Bengali term for the ceremony is a proper noun. So it should be capitalised I guess. I will fix the word after being moved. Ahammed Saad (talk) 13:10, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Bangabandhu Military Museum → Bangladesh Military Museum (currently a redirect back to Bangabandhu Military Museum) (move · discuss) – official name changed . After the fall of the Sheikh Hasina led Awami League government, Bangabandhu Military Museum was renamed to its previous name Bangladesh Military Museum. Niasoh ❯❯❯ Wanna chat? 16:55, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Niasoh: The website doesn't indicate an official name change – the URL is still BangabandhuMilitaryMuseum.com. My Google search shows use of both names, so I'd suggest a requested move if you think Bangladesh Military Museum is the WP:COMMONNAME. Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 20:28, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Lord Bolingbroke Thanks for your response,

The website URL hasn't been updated yet, I know, but after the fall of Hasina's government, many things have changed, but their official website URL has not changed yet; just the name has changed. [3][4][5] Bangladesh Military Museum was its old name, and from 1987 to 2016, and then former PM Hasina renamed it after her father, so Bangladesh Military Museum is kind of a common name, but from 2017 to 2024, it's known as Bangabandhu Military Museum. Niasoh ❯❯❯ Wanna chat? 20:59, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Niasoh: Thanks for these sources. While the articles mention a number of institutions that had "Bangabandhu" removed from their name, I'm not seeing any mention of a name change for the museum specifically. Since the name change was fairly recent, there's a strong case to move back to Bangladesh Military Museum per WP:COMMONNAME, but I still think it would be better to discuss to avoid any controversy.

Administrator needed

User:Rusalkii/Johnlock → Johnlock (move · discuss) – Publishing a draft. The page is admin protected (!) Rusalkii (talk) 22:23, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Endorsed Appears to meet GNG. At the very least, this should be discussed at AfD if notability is a concern. Looks like the salted title was never the subject of an AfD. Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 00:34, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Lord Bolingbroke it was not salted for notability issue but, fans were repeatedly recreating the page with absolute rubbish (by rubbish, I mean things like spamming "PLEASE KISS" in the content or having a one sentence page with no references or anything else). There simply wasn't a serious effort at producing a proper article. I will leave it to other admins to work on this as I am pressed for time to be able to continue here. – robertsky (talk) 00:46, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
