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.

• Bright (American band Bright album) (currently a redirect to Bright (American band)) → Bright (album) (currently a redirect instead to Bright) (move · discuss) – Bright (Japanese band Bright album) was turned into a redirect a couple of years ago, so can be mentioned in hatnote instead.

Frankly, this fails WP:NALBUM and should redirect to Bright (American band). Polyamorph (talk) 08:14, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

I suggest an AfD discussion on this album first, because it actually has a couple of pro reviews. The recommendation can be to redirect to the band. If the album survives that discussion, the article title can then be fixed. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:39, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

• Draft:Laid-Back Camp (season 3) (currently a redirect to Laid-Back Camp season 3) → Laid-Back Camp (season 3) (currently a redirect instead to Laid-Back Camp season 3) (move · discuss) – The draft is ready to be moved to the article mainspace. Centcom08 (talk) 07:51, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
• Draft:Indonesian Democratic Union Party (currently a redirect to Indonesian Democratic Union Party) → Indonesian Democratic Union Party (move · discuss) – slight technical issue when a user moving. A user moved the original article to draft space, whilst In the midst of a major edit in a published article; splitting the new revision and the old article (now in draft space). Moving the other way around would also suffice. Kaliper1 (talk) 12:22, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

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.

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.
