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

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

• Ince Gordon Dadds ‎ (currently a redirect to Ince & Co) → Ince & Co (move · discuss) – Company has a new parent, which reverted the firm's name to one formerly used. Skywatcher68 (talk) 18:32, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

• István Sándor (footballer, born 1986) → István Sándor (footballer) (currently a redirect instead to István Sándor) (move · discuss) – There's only one footballer named István Sándor. MrLune (talk) 20:50, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

  Noting Ishtvan Sandor, whose name in Hungarian is István Sándor, which is definitely in use. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 20:59, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

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

• Pot-8-Os (currently a redirect to Potoooooooo) → Potoooooooo (restricted by the titleblacklist, which page movers can override) (move · discuss) – common name (it's even the first named on lead) Bedivere (talk) 19:30, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Given it was moved the other way last year (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Potoooooooo&oldid=1110180383) and Talk:Pot-8-Os#Intended_Name_vs._Intended_Pronunciation?, it's a WP:PCM and needs a full WP:RM discussion. -Kj cheetham (talk) 20:11, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

    Potoooooooo was the stable title, it was moved without discussion, so it should be reverted. 162 etc. (talk) 20:14, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

    I didn't notice it was the previous stable title, in which case I agree it should just be reverted. -Kj cheetham (talk) 20:17, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

    That's correct, the stable name was Potoooooooo, not Pot-8-Os. Bedivere (talk) 20:51, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.

Administrator needed

Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.
