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.
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Treaty of Monçon → Treaty of Monzón (move · discuss) – More common name for the treaty. The city itself is Monzón and it was and is in Spain. – Srnec (talk) 02:26, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
- Objection to RMTR speedy move Was the city spelled that way back in the 1600s when the Treaty was signed? Many places have changed names and spellings over centuries that have passed; As this is a treaty between the Papal States and France, the Latin, Italian, or French, spellings would seem to be more proper than the Spanish spelling. A simple Google Search shows a preference for the current spelling over the proposed spelling. -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 04:43, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
- Cliff 'Soney' Vaughs → Clifford Vaughs (move · discuss) – Per @Vintagent: and @Spyder Monkey:, fixing a copy-paste move. Nobody thinks nickname 'Soney' belongs in article title. – Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:36, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

- Naat → Na`at (move · discuss) – Correct punctuation/spelling for the type of poetry, blocked by village name that I moved to a disambiguated title. The poetry page is much bigger and seems the clear primary topic; it's getting 200+ views a day, while the village page was getting 1/day. —Torchiest talkedits 16:53, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- Canon Sinuum (Jost Bürgi) → Canon Sinuum (move · discuss) – The title "Canon Sinuum" is unambiguous. Admin needed because there was an intermediate move to Canon Sinuum ( Jost Bürgi). Also move Talk:Canon Sinuum (Jost Bürgi) to Talk:Canon Sinuum. – GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 15:03, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:New Mangalore Port → New Mangalore Port (move · discuss) – correct namespace – DexDor (talk) 22:13, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Comment no redirect should be left behind at the WP-space location. The redirect from DRAFT-space will need to be corrected for its target to be proper -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 04:44, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- Power Rangers: Ninja Steel → Power Rangers Ninja Steel (move · discuss) – All power ranger season titles have no colon, previously deleted due to speculation – 98.116.209.251 (talk) 11:20, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- Firewatch (disambiguation) → Firewatch (move · discuss) – No primary topic, so disambiguation page can exist without parenthetical. – Wikipedical (talk) 02:23, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
- NOTE this is now moot since I have merged this new disambiguation page into the old disambiguaiton page at Fire Watch (disambiguation) -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 04:18, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
