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.
Technical requests
Edit this section if you want to move a request from Uncontroversial to Contested.
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Teodors Bļugers (currently a redirect to Teddy Blueger) → Teddy Blueger (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME, per sources cited in article 162 etc. (talk) 15:35, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
- Talk:Balkan Turkish is invalid. Must create Talk:Balkan Turkish before requesting that it be moved to Talk:Balkan Gagauz Turkish.– Talk page was moved separate from main article Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 17:45, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
- TimedText talk:Tertiary Sources is invalid. Must create TimedText talk:Tertiary Sources before requesting that it be moved to Tertiary Sources.– New user, presumably playing with the namespace drop-down. Bot has edited the new redirect, so I can't simply move the page back over an unedited redirect. ⁓ Pelagic ( messages ) 18:18, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
- Bindlacher Berg Airport (currently a redirect to Bayreuth Airport) → Bayreuth Airport (move · discuss) – Incorrect name: The airport is located in the location "Bindlacher Berg", but its name is "Bayreuth Airport" (according to, inter alia, the operator). Legally speaking, the German "Verkehrslandeplatz Bayreuth" would also be okay. I cannot make that edit because I violated the copy-paste rule, so Bayreuth Airport (a redirect) needs to be deleted.

Administrator needed
- Put requests that require an administrator (e.g., because the page to be moved is move-protected or the target is creation-protected) here. Do not place a request here if it only requires a page mover.
- Verizon Media (currently a redirect to Yahoo! Inc. (2017–present)) → Yahoo (company) (currently a redirect instead to Yahoo! Inc. (2017–present)) (move · discuss) – discussion closed as moved, but the page is currently move-protected. ASUKITE 15:09, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
- User:MjolnirPants/No Nazis → Wikipedia:No Nazis (move · discuss) – User has left the project and so I'd like to move this essay out of their userspace (and consensus clearly existed to do this on the talk page even before they left), but there already exists a redirect that must first be deleted. Loki (talk) 17:51, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
- José Maria de Eça de Queirós (currently a redirect to Eça de Queiroz) → Eça de Queiroz (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME, per sources cited in article 162 etc. (talk) 15:35, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
- Sergejs Žoltoks (currently a redirect to Sergei Zholtok) → Sergei Zholtok (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME, was never referred to as Žoltoks during his career 162 etc. (talk) 15:31, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
- This is an 11 year old move, and the title has remained ever since then. This should be carried forward through a procedural RM. ─ The Aafī (talk) 17:32, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
