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:..."
If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

Technical requests
Edit this section if you want to move a request from Uncontroversial to Contested.
Uncontroversial technical requests
- 2021 Myanmar protests (currently a redirect to Myanmar protests (2021–present)) → 2021–2022 Myanmar conflict (move · discuss) – Are we still calling these massive clashes, airstrikes and military offensives simply “protests”? Jesus the date isn’t even up to date. 88.238.121.128 (talk) 13:29, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
Administrator needed
- Edit this section if a request requires an administrator (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place the request in another section if it only requires a page mover's permissions.
Contested technical requests

- @HijaziRanda: Your draft is not suitable to be an article yet, for a number of reasons including promotional tone. I would suggest that you submit it for review at Wikipedia:Articles for Creation so that you can get feedback from more experienced editors. (See section "Submitting for review".) Furthermore, please be aware that if you created this draft about yourself, that is discouraged, and if you have created it for someone else in return for any form of compensation, you are required by our Terms of Use to disclose this. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 09:08, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
