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.

Technical requests

Edit this section if you want to move a request from Uncontroversial to Contested.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Contested technical requests

  • GoRuck  GORUCK (currently a redirect back to GoRuck) (move · discuss) – justification MOS:TMRULES is not valid. Specifically Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization practices, even if the trademark owner considers nonstandard formatting "official", as long as this is a style already in widespread use, rather than inventing a new one It is clear that both officially and unoffically the preferred stylization is GORUCK in all capitalis. Furthermore WP:RMUM is not valid because Joe Roe should have known that It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move. because I had recently moved the page to the capitalized version citing specific policies. For this Reason I specifically ask that the Move be reverted and a proper discussion for the appropriate title be restored.

    • If you have to provide all that opinionated commentary to justify it, you can't call it uncontroversial. It also appears that "RUCK" is short for "rucksack", so it is not an initialism. The article was at "GoRuck" at the point when its submission was accepted. The revision history shows there is a lack of agreement over the title, so it is obviously not uncontroversial. Incidentally, do you have a conflict of interest for that article? I see that it is nominated for deletion and tagged for having a non-neutral point of view that favors the company and that you created it. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:45, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
