Requests to revert undiscussed moves
Contested technical requests
- Aden airport attack → Aden Airport attack (currently a redirect back to Aden airport attack) (move · discuss) – capitalization per Aden International Airport. Thepharoah17 (talk) 00:47, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Witch (word) → Witch (currently a redirect instead to Witchcraft) (move · discuss) – This page should be moved to witch, which currently redirects to witchcraft, but the craft is the craft; the witch its practitioner. The practice and the practitioner are not the same subject. To mix the two is like mixing mathematics and mathematician. "Witch" is the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the title "Witch". The directly parallel male term is warlock, and this page should additionally also be consistent with in its naming, per WP:CONSISTENT. Iskandar323 (talk) 16:32, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Noting Witch is protected since 2009 with a note about moving: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=21113092 -Kj cheetham (talk) 16:41, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Given the mess around what information people want to sit at what article, there's no possible way this is uncontroversial. I certainly wouldn't expect the main entry at "Witch" to be a glorified WP:DICDEF. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 16:45, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
