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

Ebrahim Ismail Ebrahim (currently a redirect to Ebrahim Ebrahim) → Ebrahim Ebrahim (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME Park3r (talk) 23:50, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

9GAG (currently a redirect to 9gag) → 9gag (move · discuss) – Moved without discussion to the current title in 2013. The 9gag capitalization should be used, per a 2012 RM. 162 etc. (talk) 01:12, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm hesitant to revert a move that's been in place for 10 years without further discussion, even if the title was at one point determined by an RM (it's also a fairly weak consensus, with just 4 !supports, though no opposes). I think this should probably go back to RM, just on principle, though I'm not going to outright contest it myself. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 02:08, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps 162's request could be treated not as a "revert" based on WP:RMUM but rather as a slightly bold but uncontroversial move based on clear MOS:TMRULES, given that nobody has explained why it should be at 9GAG (including Merovingian during or around his unexplained move). There has been a talk section since 2015 urging it to be moved back to 9gag with no responses. {{replyto|SilverLocust}} (talk) 03:21, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would have to agree with the sentiments made above. The editor is correct that the latest decided consensus is in favor of the lowercase, rather than the uppercase, and therefore the move appears to be in good form, and while the RM is from a vast amount of time ago, it remains the last RM to be made.

Contested technical requests

Mizo people → Lushai (currently a redirect back to Mizo people) (move · discuss) – As most ethnic article titles use the English name I requested this change so as to increase recognizability and to shorten it. Sangsangaplaz (talk) 10:54, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This requester only made a move recommendation at the article's talk page a few days ago ([1]), with no response from anyone else yet. I suspect that changing the article title for an ethnic group is unlikely to be uncontroversial, as experience here indicates. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:59, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sangsangaplaz: This is a WP:PCM. If you wish to continue with your request, click the discuss link in your request to begin a formal WP:RM discussion. Once you've done that, or if you do not wish to continue, please remove your request. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 11:02, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
DMA's → DMA'S (move · discuss) – capitalization Dommy Dingo (talk) 23:23, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This does not appear to be non-controversial. I see edits disagreeing about how it should be capitalized. Also, a quick websearch shows results spelling it each way. (Of course, the band does stylize its name in all-caps.) SilverLocust (talk) 01:45, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:CCGS John Cabot is invalid. Must create Draft:CCGS John Cabot before requesting that it be moved to Draft:CCGS John Cabot (2020).– There's more than one ship with this name, and a more historically involved one is drafted at Draft:CCGS John Cabot (1965) ; add the year to the draft name makes the draft's topic clear -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 11:44, 5 July 2023 (UTC) 64.229.90.172 (talk) 11:44, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not needed as there is no mainspace article at this title. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:55, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@UtherSRG It is needed as the requestor is an IP. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 12:23, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Zippybonzo: There is no CCGS John Cabot, so no dab is needed on the draft. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:05, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@UtherSRG: There is another draft that is ambiguous. Just because an article isn't in mainspace doesn't suddenly mean there's no ambiguity between titles in the same namespace. (Also, if these both get accepted, they will need to be disambiguated anyway.)

Side question: Can drafts go through RM? Skarmory (talk • contribs) 04:52, 6 July 2023 (UTC) added "isn't" to "isn't in mainspace" at 00:56, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Probably Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 09:12, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just because they can, doesn't mean they should. (Also see WP:NOTRM.) -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:25, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I checked there, but I didn't know if it was an unwritten rule or written somewhere else since it seemed weird that it'd be allowed. (I really don't think this is a good idea to send through RM, but I'd still like to see the move performed, so I'm not really sure what to do...) Skarmory (talk • contribs) 00:56, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say, let the move proceed. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 06:36, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jubaland Darawiish → Jubaland Darawiish Force (move · discuss) – Full name per article and similar to the other somali states paramilitary forces Galmudug Security Force, Puntland Dervish Force 223.123.89.94 (talk) 13:47, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No evidence that the proposed name is actually used, and if it is, it certainly isn't a proper name. Seems the current title is fine. — Amakuru (talk) 13:54, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
BlueMaxima's Flashpoint (currently a redirect to Flashpoint Archive) → Flashpoint Archive (move · discuss) – Project has rebranded and changed domain Colin9691 (talk) 05:51, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please see WP:NAMECHANGE. There needs to be some evidence that sources now use the new name instead of the old one. – Material Works 09:45, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
