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

• Soudan Underground Mine State Park (currently a redirect to Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park) → Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park (move · discuss) – "Soudan Underground Mine State Park" was an existing park and a new state park "Lake Vermilion State Park" was created in 2010. The two state parks are now operated together under one name, "Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park". "Lake Vermilion State Park" article was moved to "Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park". The "Soudan Underground Mine State Park" is significantly larger and and has a much more detailed history than the current "Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park" article stub. This move would preserve the history of the original article but move it to the current operating title. Eóin (talk) 03:19, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

  @Eóin: Couldn't this be handled by a merge and redirect? – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 05:24, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

  @Lord Bolingbroke: I'm rusty at this stuff so it very well may be. I will defer to more knowledgeable people on it. My thinking was that while the 7 paragraphs in "Soudan Underground Mine State Park" could be merged to the current stub of "Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park" and redirected, I thought it important for the 180 revisions of "Soudan Underground Mine State Park" be in the main history of the article rather than in the redirect compared to the 30 revisions of the current "Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park". If the location of the history and revisions is not that important, let me know and I will merge and redirect the content. With so little content it would be less of a merge and more of copy/paste replace of the article. -Eóin (talk) 14:12, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
