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.

• – This is the actual name of the settlement GeographicAccountant (talk) 10:07, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
• Morrison–Knudsen → Morrison Knudsen (currently a redirect back to Morrison–Knudsen) (move · discuss) – No dash in company name per official website Kolmeweet (talk) 03:53, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Kolmeweet sources were more or less consistent with the usage of dash in the corporation's name. See WP:OFFICIAL. If you can find other more recent sources without the dash in the name, I suggest raising a Move Request discussion. – robertsky (talk) 08:36, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

On second look, it seems that the styling by sources is inconsistent. I will leave it to the others to evaluate if this should be moved uncontested. – robertsky (talk) 12:34, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

@GeographicAccountant: No need for the disambiguation. See various Zambia geo location categories. 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) 13:59, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.

• Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs (South Korea) (currently a redirect to Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs) → Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs (move · discuss) – Move over redirect. McPhail (talk) 11:40, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Really the only one ever? In ictu oculi (talk) 13:32, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

@In ictu oculi: - it's certainly the only with by this name with a Wiki page. "Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs" currently redirects to "Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs (South Korea)" so the parentheses are not needed. McPhail (talk) 12:06, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

• List of foreign politicians of Chinese descent → List of foreign politicians of Chinese origin (currently a redirect back to List of foreign politicians of Chinese descent) (move · discuss) – WP:CONSISTENCY with other articles of similar name. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 05:26, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Actually it should probably be the other way around and the others should also be moved to this style. "Descent" is the common term throughout Wikipedia and is actually far more accurate, as "origin" suggests only people who were born in China. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:07, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

    'Origin' simply suggests that their ancestors were originally from China, not they were 'born' in China. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 04:10, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

    'Origin' is much more ambiguous than 'descent'. —Tamfang (talk) 05:27, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

• R Praggnanandhaa → R. Praggnanandhaa (currently a redirect back to R Praggnanandhaa) (move · discuss) – Dot. The Doom Patrol (talk) 19:43, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

@The Doom Patrol: This is not an uncontroversial request due to the two previous RMs held over this page. 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. – MaterialWorks 20:03, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

It's per MOS:INITIALS. No R. v R discussion on previous RMs. Let an admin decide.--The Doom Patrol (talk) 11:31, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Administrator needed

Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.

• Air Penguin (video game) (currently a redirect to Air Penguin) → Air Penguin (move · discuss) – Apparently the page was protected for totally unrelated vandalism reasons. However, there is now an article about a notable video game with that name that requires moving to that location. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 03:10, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
• The Impossible Quiz (Flash game) (currently a redirect to The Impossible Quiz) → The Impossible Quiz (move · discuss) – unnecessary disambiguator, and the target title is salted with a link to a 2011 ANI discussion about a long list of protected article titles, which doesn't mention this title by name.
