Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests
Appearance
The discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. If any of the following apply to a desired move, treat it as potentially controversial:
- There is an existing article (not just a redirect) at the target title;
- There has been any past debate about the best title for the page;
- Someone could reasonably disagree with the move.
If a desired move is uncontroversial and technical in nature (e.g. spelling), please feel free to move the page yourself. If the page has recently been moved without discussion, you may revert the move and initiate a discussion on its talk page. In either case, if you are unable to complete the move, request it below.
- To list a technical request, go to the bottom of this section that you are reading right now; edit the subsection Uncontroversial technical requests; insert the following code at the top:
{{subst:RMassist|<!--old page name, without brackets-->|<!--requested name, without brackets-->|reason= <!--reason for 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 it to the Contested technical requests section. Add a note saying "Moved by..." and add your signature with ~~~~.
- If your technical request is contested by another editor, please remove it from the contested technical requests section and follow the instructions at Requesting potentially controversial moves.
- Alternatively, if the only obstacle to an uncontroversial move is another page in the way, you can ask for the deletion of the other page. This may apply, for example, if the other page is currently a redirect to the article to be moved, a redirect with no incoming links, or an unnecessary disambiguation page with a minor edit history. To request the other page be deleted, add the following code to the top of the page that is in the way:
{{db-move|<!--page to be moved here-->|<!--reason for move-->}}
- This will list the undesired page for deletion under criterion for speedy deletion G6. If the page is a redirect, place the code above the redirection. For a list of articles being considered for uncontroversial speedy deletion, see Category:Candidates for uncontroversial speedy deletion.

- Schema Therapy → Schema therapy (move · discuss) – Following Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) and following naming conventions of all other articles on psychotherapy, e.g. Template:Cognitive behavioral therapy – Biogeographist (talk) 18:01, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- GSM → Global System for Mobile Communications (move · discuss) – The old name is only an acronym for the technology. The new name corrects this issue. The acronym should link to the full name (see the German article-version as an example). "GSM" should link directly to the disambiguation page as this abbreviation has several meanings. I propose to have that corrected. I suppose an automated wiki-bot can fix all links to this page afterwards. – Nightwalker-87 (talk) 14:42, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- LTE (telecommunication) → Long-Term Evolution (telecommunication) (move · discuss) – The old name is only an acronym for the technology. The new name corrects this issue. The acronym should link to the full name. – Nightwalker-87 (talk) 13:53, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- VoLTE → Voice over LTE (move · discuss) – The old name is only an acronym for the technology. The new name corrects this issue. The acronym should link to the full name. The desired name is blocked by a redirect. This should be swapped instead. – Nightwalker-87 (talk) 12:37, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
