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.

• Black Cake (TV series) → Black Cake (currently a redirect instead to Rum cake) (move · discuss) – No need to disambiguate here NathanielTheBold (talk) 22:44, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Rum cake is known as black cake. Is DIFFCAPS really enough here? 162 etc. (talk) 04:44, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

• Cà Mau Airport (currently a redirect to Ca Mau Airport) → Ca Mau Airport (move · discuss) – Non-diacritic name, to harmonize with other airport names in Vietnam (see Category:Airports in Vietnam). Đại Việt quốc (talk) 18:00, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

There was a renaming in 2010 to add the diacritics, with an edit summary about consistency with other Cà Mau renames, so this seems like a WP:PCM. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 20:36, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

@BarrelProof: That's because they were not aware of the fact that almost all of other airport names are still diacriticless. The airport name should be consistent with other airport names, not with other city or town name. This move completely broke the consistency. For example, Buôn Ma Thuột and Buon Ma Thuot Airport, Đồng Hới and Dong Hoi Airport. Why did no one move these two titles to diacritics for consistency with the city names? So the solution here would be: either move all of the others to diacritics, or move these back to diacriticless. I'm fine with either. Đại Việt quốc (talk) 19:02, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

• Điện Biên Airport (currently a redirect to Dien Bien Airport) → Dien Bien Airport (move · discuss) – Non-diacritic name, to harmonize with other airport names in Vietnam (see Category:Airports in Vietnam). Đại Việt quốc (talk) 17:57, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

There was a renaming in 2017 to add the diacritics, so this seems like a WP:PCM. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 20:33, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

• 2008 City of Melbourne election (currently a redirect to 2008 Melbourne City Council election) → 2008 Melbourne City Council election (move · discuss) – Keeps in line with other election pages (YEAR/PLACE/TYPE) and all other Melbourne City Council election page names Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 12:17, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

  "All other" pages are thus named only because the OP moved them in the last day or two. I've reverted those, and suggest this go to a full discussion. If nothing else, the fact that mayoral election is also included means it may be better as it is.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:17, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

• 2017 Greater Geelong local election (currently a redirect to 2017 Greater Geelong City Council election) → 2017 Greater Geelong City Council election (move · discuss) – Keeps in line with other election pages (YEAR/PLACE/TYPE), more accurate naming Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 12:17, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

  per Amakuru, the only reason the other pages are named this way is because you moved all of them as such. Darling ☔ (talk · contribs) 15:19, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

• Shha → He (Cyrillic) (currently a redirect back to Shha) (move · discuss) – In no language whatsoever is this letter called 'shha'. The letter is named 'ha', or more commonly, 'he'. – anlztrk (talk) 08:59, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

  @Anlztrk: While I don't disagree with your rationale, I don't think this is uncontroversial. Looking at the history of the proposed destination, there seems to be a potential confusion with another letter that this move would exacerbate. 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) 13:23, 5 December 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.
