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

  • National Eligibility cum Entrance Test → National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Under Graduate (move · discuss) – there are 2 major exams, with same name; neet-ug and neet-pg. ug=under graduate, while pg=post graduate. since this article is mainly based on neet-ug, so i created another article, named neet-pg. thus differentiating both. 😄  S a  h a  😄 16:19, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • That has some problems. At a minimum, the hyphen should be a dash. Also, "Under Graduate" should probably be "undergraduate". Also, if this is not the proper name of the test, more of the words should start with lowercase letters. I checked the first five sources cited in the article, and none of them use the suggested name. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:26, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

@PC78: Other than a bit of unnecessary detail on who provided information on start of filming, and a shorter cast list, the "perfectly good" version is virtually idential to the current one. If this is about attribution, you should request a WP:HISTMERGE, not an undo of the move. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 19:46, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ahecht: I doubt a history merge would be possible due to the two pages having parallel histories. But that doesn't address the question: why should this move stand when the new page is no better than the one it replaced? PC78 (talk) 20:46, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There's no reason to move the page again. Of the two, the "perfectly good" version appears to have copied and pasted from the draft in this edit (based on things like the reference names), so it's best to let the edit history stand as-is. (For the record, since "American Horror Story: 1984 (version 2)" is not really a suitable redirect in mainspace, I moved that version of the article to Draft:American Horror Story: 1984) --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 21:09, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, maybe, but the two pages diverged from that point and I still believe that the one already in mainspace should have been left where it was. But I don't see the point in moving the "original" into draft space; there's no need for a "draft" of an existing article, and for the sake of any attribution issues it should be necessary to keep that history in mainspace.

@Anthony Appleyard: Having queried your original undiscussed move, it would be helpful if you could engage in the discussion. Turning this into a formal RM discussion seems a little premature. PC78 (talk) 02:13, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The needed choice would seem to be, to choose, of the pages American Horror Story: 1984 and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:American_Horror_Story:_1984&oldid=906454165 , which is the better description of American Horror Story: 1984. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:03, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, yes. I appreciate that your initial move was in response to a request on this page and it's hard to know what level of consideration went into an undiscussed move. My initial concern was that moving a twice rejected draft into mainspace over an existing page doesn't seem entirely uncontroversial. However, if (as Ahecht suggests) the original article should be dismissed as a content fork of the draft then I'm happy to accept that and move on. I've got no stake in either version of the article, but this just seemed like a messy and unnecessary series of page moves. PC78 (talk) 04:30, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
