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.

• The Game (rapper) → The Game (move · discuss) – I think the rapper is the primary topic.

If he isn't, speedy close this. ErceÇamurOfficial (talk) 08:46, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

• Aldol reaction → Aldol Addition (move · discuss) – Confusion issue. Aldol reaction (singular) refers to Aldol additions in English. While in other languages its referring to the general set of reactions. So for German Wikipedian chemists (which is fairly common within Wikipedia chemistry) it caused some editing mistakes. The majority of the page is about aldol addition, but there were some sections about the overall pair of reaction which have since been moved to Aldol reactions. I've done the necessary redirect cleanup work to make the rename possible. LoomCreek (talk) 23:56, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
  • If done, this should use lowercase "addition". —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 05:42, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
• – Moving from user space to mainspace. Not sure if the histories can be merged or not. Cukie Gherkin (talk) 05:40, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
• Fatimah bint Musa (currently a redirect to Fatima bint Musa) → Fatima bint Musa (move · discuss) – To match the recent move Fatimah --> Fatima, which is the shorter and more modern transliteration of the Arabic name (فاطمة). Albertatiran (talk) 08:53, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
