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.

Title is the result of a 2021 RM. Such cases should not be brought to WP:RMT. See WP:PCM. 162 etc. (talk) 00:45, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonny2x4 We use what reliable sources use, not offical names. Most, if not all, refs in article use current capitalization, any particular reason/source to change it? ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 16:31, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Jonny2x4 can you provide a reliable source for your confirmation? ROY is WAR Talk! 23:55, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delicious Party Pretty Cure  Delicious Party PreCure (currently a redirect back to Delicious Party Pretty Cure) (move · ) – There was a page move consensus on Talk:Wonderful PreCure! that this page and several other pages listed as "Pretty Cure" should be using the correct English title of "PreCure". Most of these moves have gone through okay but this one isn't able to move for some reason even though the new name has a redirect. Rebochan (talk) 17:55, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi @Rebochan, you can't move a page over an existing one unless it's a single-revision redirect to the page being moved in its place, otherwise you are correct to ask here. For the record, @Cubching90's closure was slightly irregular as it is expected that a closer is able to carry out the actual moves, which they clearly can't. ASUKITE 20:39, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I also note that this particular page wasn't listed in the RM in questions. Wouldn't WP:NOTOTHERPAGES apply? The closer was correct not to move this page as part of their close. Bensci54 (talk) 20:58, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Correct, thanks! I hadn't even checked that part, this whole situation is fishy to me. ASUKITE 21:18, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, Cubching90 was blocked for sockpuppetry, I think that closure needs to be reverted, which means my move earlier might have been invalid as well. (Or... I don't know what to do, an admin should handle that as it looks like a couple other editors were blocked there, might be better even to just void the entire discussion and start over at this point) ASUKITE 21:19, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The point of the discussion was that all of those pages are not using the correct names of the shows according to primary sources. These all should have been uncontroversial moves, but people fight them anyway. Now all of my moves trying to follow what I had no reason to believe was a bad faith closure have been reverted by Hey man im josh who scolded me for it on my talk page. Rebochan (talk) 23:00, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Rebochan Contested as recent activity shows there is controversy - after the related move is closed it may be possible to move this, but even then a discussion might be a good idea. ASUKITE 15:06, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Rebochan, I would suggest to discuss this on talk page. This is a controversy move and it needed a consensus on other editors. ROY is WAR Talk! 23:54, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Margot Isaacs, Marchioness of Reading  Margot Irene, Marchioness of Reading (move · ) – By lack of reference in obituaries e.g., The Independent, The Peerage, The Times which refer to her surname as either 'Duke' or the title of 'Reading' (as is traditional for British nobility) it does not appear she took the name of her husband and children. This is therefore likely an error. JJLiu112 (talk) 06:20, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    In fact, we should probably do the formal thing and title the article with her forenames. --JJLiu112 (talk) 06:25, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Oppose; this request based on an assumption/misunderstanding by the user. If she took the title, she defintely took the surname too even if she didn't use it. The obits may just be refering to her pre-marital name OR her case is similar to Rose Hanbury who is better known by her maiden name. Since she is referred as "Lady Reading" or "Reading" in the articles post-marriage, then she definitely took her husband's name. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:48, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you very much for correcting me on this point. Still I wonder because I can see very little reference online to her being referred to as Margot Isaacs whether it would not be better to still correct the title with her forename(s) as above.

  • Chadhaibhol  Chadheibhol (currently a redirect back to Chadhaibhol) (move · ) – The spelling Chadheibhol is the original and commonly used name of the village. The current title, Chadhaibhol, appears to be derived from an online census entry, which may contain typographical errors. More reliable sources, such as published books, government records, and local signage, confirm that "Chadheibhol" is the correct spelling.
    A search in Google Books currently does not show any references for "Chadhaibhol," whereas eighteen or more results appear for "Chadheibhol," many of which are from census publications:
    1. 1964: [1]
    2. 1965: [2]
    3. 1972: [3]
    4. 1976: [4]
    5. 1977: [5]
    6. 1980: [6]
    7. 2011: [7]
    Additionally, the name Chadheibhol appears in reliable online sources, including:
    1. The Times of India: [8]
    2. Kalinga TV: [9]
    3. Schools.org: [10]
    4. Housing.com: [11]
    5. ICBSE: [12]
    6. The New Indian Express: [13]
    A previous argument against the move was based on Google search result counts: "Chadhaibhol" (3,060 results) vs. "Chadheibhol" (799 results). However, Google search results are not a reliable metric for determining correct spelling, as they include unrelated pages. A more authoritative approach is to prioritize books, newspapers, and government documents.
    Additionally, the National Highway 49 signboard in the village itself displays "Chadheibhol," further confirming local usage.

    Given this evidence, the move to Chadheibhol aligns with Wikipedia’s policy on WP:COMMONNAME, as it reflects the spelling used in historical records, government documents, and local sources. Khaatir (talk) 04:19, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

  • @Khaatir: this is not a uncontroverial move, and thus you need to bring it up in a full RM discussion on the article talk page. TiggerJay(talk) 05:40, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Tiggerjay A well-reasoned discussion was initiated on the talk page, but no administrator or experienced user has responded. What can be done to expedite a decision on this matter? Can a specific administrator be notified, or is there any other necessary action? Khaatir (talk) 06:05, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Khaatir -- this board is only for technical requests of uncontentious nature, so your request does not belong here. What you need to do is open a "full RM discussion" by clicking on "discuss" above next to your request to start a full discussion on this topic. That will gather the attention of others to participate in the discussion. There is currently a big backlog for page moves, so it might take several weeks before your request is handled. After you open the full RM discussion on the talk page, please remove this thread here. Thanks! TiggerJay(talk) 06:17, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Xpander1 This page was recently moved, so this would be considered contentious, please start a full RM discussion by clicking discuss next to your request. TiggerJay(talk) 05:34, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
