Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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=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]

Edit this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests[edit]

Most requests should be placed below this heading.
  • KFF Tirana AS → Tirana AS (currently a redirect back to KFF Tirana AS) (move · discuss) – The club's name has always been Tirana AS and shouldn't be confused with a different club which has a similar name, KFF Tirana. Kj1595 (talk) 17:16, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Kj1595 Are they different? KFF Tirana says they were previously named Tirana AS. Unless I'm mistaken, the AS page should be merged into the KFF Tirana one as they're largely redundant. --Ahecht (TALK

    I have yet to find a single Albanian source which refers to KFF Tirana as the successor club to AS Tirana. AS Tirana formed its own history, independent of KF Tirana. Not only in name but in the logo the club used. Kj1595 (talk) 18:45, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Pinging @Fjorilda09, who added Tirana AS's statistics to the KFF Tirana page. --Ahecht (TALK

This doesn't seem to be borne out by common usage in sources. See ngrams for example : [2]  — Amakuru (talk) 15:17, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves[edit]

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

Contested technical requests[edit]

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
@Amigao you should be able to move this back by yourself? – robertsky (talk) 02:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Amigao: Technically the request to revert an undiscussed move is valid, but OTOH I think the present title is the correct one per naming conventions at WP:NCE. We only omit the year if it's a widely-known event that is clear without a year.  — Amakuru (talk) 10:01, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • W. D. Gaster → W.D. Gaster (currently a redirect back to W. D. Gaster) (move · discuss) – The name of this character is W.D. Gaster without a space between W. and D. It looks like there's a space because in Undertale a period takes up the same space as any other character. Diamantinasaurus (talk) 20:19, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Diamantinasaurus Wikipedia standard is to put spaces after periods in initials. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography#Initials. --Ahecht (TALK
    PAGE    )     01:52, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    (edit conflict) (not opposing (or supporting)) Is it strange to think MOS:INITS applies even to a fictional character? (An initial is capitalized and is followed by a full point (period) and a space (e.g. J. R. R. Tolkien).). Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 02:07, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Other aspects of Wikipedia styling conventions are certainly applied to fictional subjects – for example, there's the WP:TITLETM example of Invader ZIM → Invader Zim. Considering fiction an exception seems like it would lead to all sorts of randomness. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 14:49, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Judicial disqualification → Recusal (currently a redirect back to Judicial disqualification) (move · discuss) – Most common term for this concept, most accurate term for this concept since the article and the idea is not limited to justices, and 4/4 editors on talk page so far agree Superb Owl (talk) 22:32, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Object to speedy move I think this should have a discussion, since recusal is not restricted to this judicial sense. If it moves to recusal, the article would need a rewrite to make it more generalized. -- 65.92.244.143 (talk) 05:09, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator needed[edit]

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.
