Shortcuts

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=reason for 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 between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
Oppose per MOS:CT, which says to capitalize verbs in the titles of works such as films, and specifically mentions "is" as a verb to be capitalized. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:35, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Primary topic grabs are, by definition, not uncontroversial. 162 etc. (talk) 01:14, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
According to what policy? If something is very clearly the primary topic, I'm not at all sure why a move would be considered contested or controversial. Loytra (talk) 02:14, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Socialist Unity Party has gone from primary redirect to dabpage, then back to primary redirect, then back to dabpage. See WP:RMCM: "A move is potentially controversial if (...) there has been any past debate about the best title for the page; someone could reasonably disagree with the move." 162 etc. (talk) 04:21, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I accept that. Guess I'll just start a regular move request then? Loytra (talk) 12:14, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Most sources list him as a feature. More citations needed. 162 etc. (talk) 15:41, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@162 etc.: here are some more sources of him being credited as a main artist: https://open.spotify.com/track/2tudvzsrR56uom6smgOcSf?si=90vqYEc1Rimvw6wVhBKraA&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A37i9dQZF1DX0XUsuxWHRQd, https://tidal.com/track/352641780 (you can look at the album here to see for track 6), and even the YouTube channel of one of the artists of the song himself: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N9bKBAA22Go. Thank you. 98.6.144.50 (talk) 23:58, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article's current title is the result of one editor's declaration in February 2022 that the dish originated in a German-speaking territory of Italy, so the German name should be used. The current request is for the Italian title to be restored, but the requester offered no evidence on whether that really is more common, and none of the sources in the article address the matter. I suggest finding further evidence that one of these really is the original title of the dish, and if a reliable source confirms one over the other, then that will be the article title here. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:51, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JackkBrown: Since this has been contested in the past, please discuss this on the talk page. Based on my quick reading of Google Trends, it looks like Schlutzkrapfen is only the more common term in Germany and Austria, whereas Mezzelune is overwhelmingly the more common term in English-speaking countries. --Ahecht (TALK

There's so many moves in this one page over a multitude of years that it's improbable to determine which the page should be reverted to, and Dex hasn't been used since 2015. EggRoll97 (talk) 20:53, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@RadioactiveBoulevardier can you find a Diff (see Help:Diff § Internal links) to the old move? I think this might need to be discussed? microbiologyMarcus [petri dish·growths] 14:46, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, technically I don’t see the issue. It’s an undiscussed move in a remote corner and there’s no hard deadline to grandfather the move in. There is a solid WP:PRIMARYTOPIC argument (if you exclude the war-related coverage of Yampil, Donetsk Oblast) so RMUM why not?

@RadioactiveBoulevardier: You appear to be requesting to revert this move from 2007 (95 edits ago). That is more than enough to be is a stable title for WP:TITLECHANGES / WP:RMUM / WP:SVTRT. You'll need to open a requested move, which you can do by clicking "discuss" on your request. You can remove this request after opening a discussion (or if you do not want to continue).
