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: edit 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

  • User:Ergo Sum/sandbox/Template:Trump cabinet is invalid. Must create User:Ergo Sum/sandbox/Template:Trump cabinet before requesting that it be moved to Template:Trump cabinet.– Move out of userspace and into template space page that already exists. These are two very similar templates. However, the one that I created is all set and ready to go for when Trump assumes the Presidency. Also, it has been modified so that it can be used now, without needing to add addenda and explanations. In its current form, the links are more appropriate than those in the template already existing in this page name and there is substantial hidden text that need only be unhidden once confirmations/office takings occur. The format of the template is otherwise the same. Ergo Sum 03:27, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Object to RMTR speedy move just overwrite the current template with yours, by WP:EDITing it. Deleting the contribution history of other users seems like a bad idea. In any case this would require a WP:TFD to delete the template, since it already exists, and other users have contributed to it. -- 65.94.168.229 (talk) 06:22, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
