Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests
Appearance
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:..."
If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

- To list a technical request: Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
the - 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.

Contested technical requests
- Fukuyama → Fukuyama (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to Fukuyama) (move · discuss) – Francis Fukuyama is the clear primary topic. 122.60.197.214 (talk) 13:38, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Fukuyama, Hiroshima gets more than 10% (1,174) of the views as Francis (10,790)[[1]] so its unlikely that there is a primary topic for the single word. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:08, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima (currently a redirect to Hatsukaichi) → Hatsukaichi (move · discuss) – Dismabiguation not needed. 122.60.197.214 (talk) 13:08, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Onomichi, Hiroshima (currently a redirect to Onomichi) → Onomichi (move · discuss) – No disambiguation required. 122.60.197.214 (talk) 12:51, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Tanabe, Wakayama → Tanabe (move · discuss) – No disambiguation required. 122.60.197.214 (talk) 12:29, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah, Tanabe probably just needs to be turned into a dab page (look at the number of articles in here). – Uanfala (talk) 20:35, 7 August 2021 (UTC) -- Adding that "Tanabe" appears to be a dab page on the Japanese Wikipedia (ja:田辺), and many other wikis. – Uanfala (talk) 23:23, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Why have Hatsukaichi ad Onomichi been contested? 122.60.197.214 (talk) 22:35, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Those two were moved into the "contested" section by In ictu oculi without an explanation [2]. Assuming this was not a misclick: In ictu, care to elaborate? – Uanfala (talk) 23:21, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
