Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

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: 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

• AIX (disambiguation) (currently a redirect to Aix) → Aix (move · discuss) – WP:DABNAME words are preferred to abbreviations for dab page titles. —Ketil Trout (^<><!) 19:27, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Contested technical requests

• JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (1993 anime series) (currently a redirect to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (OVA)) → JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (1993 TV series) (currently a redirect instead to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (OVA)) (move · discuss) – I'm renaming JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (1993 anime series) to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (1993 TV series) as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television)#Series television articles. SpectresWrath (talk) 19:28, 30 August 2020 (UTC) SpectresWrath (talk) 19:28, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

This move proposal previously ended in "no consensus" in late 2018: Talk:JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012 TV series)#Requested move 17 November 2018; considering the significant push-back, another discussion would be necessary to make this move. — Goszei (talk) 21:03, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

If it can't be called a TV series, how about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (1993 OVA series) since it never aired on TV then. SpectresWrath (talk) 21:13, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Well, I would be fine with that personally, but it's not up to me. It will require another requested move discussion, and talk-page notifications of WP:TV and WP:ANIME. The closer of that discussion summed it up well: it's an unresolved MOS issue: see the RfC at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)/Archive_141#RFC:_Is_“(anime)”_a_suitable_disambiguator? — Goszei (talk) 21:28, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

• Holter-Hausner International (currently a redirect to John Holter) → John Holter (move · discuss) – Article clearly about the person, not the company. Kj cheetham (talk) 19:10, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
