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

• Serial Box (currently a redirect to Realm Media) → Realm (move · discuss) – company rebranded and changed the company name on April 2, 2021, as reported in Variety. Nyallouz (talk) 23:27, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Realm is already an article and that is clearly the primary topic for the term.

• Blitz (magazine) (currently a redirect to Blitz) → Blitz (Portuguese magazine) (move · discuss) – disambiguate from Blitz (British magazine); see below 162.208.168.92 (talk) 22:24, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

• BLITZ (currently a redirect to Blitz (British magazine)) → Blitz (British magazine) (move · discuss) – Stylistic capitalization; see MOS:ALLCAPS 162.208.168.92 (talk) 22:24, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
• Mount Parker, Hong Kong (currently a redirect to Mount Parker (Hong Kong)) → Mount Parker (Hong Kong) (move · discuss) – invert naming redirect to follow mountain disambiguation format Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 21:05, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
• Vienna/Fairfax–GMU station (currently a redirect to Vienna station (Washington Metro)) → Vienna station (Washington Metro) (move · discuss) – name was changed in 2011, but someone (now blocked) moved it back to its old title two years ago. WMSR (talk) 20:42, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
• Sabrina the Teenage Witch → Sabrina the Teenage Witch (comics) (move · discuss) – Not primary per pageviews; see Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1996 TV series). Move dab page to main title 162.208.168.92 (talk) 20:34, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
• Chilling Adventures of Sabrina → Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (comics) (move · discuss) – TV series is getting more pageviews, and it's not even close. I would consider moving the TV show to primary, but not sure if that would need to go to RM. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 20:31, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
• List of Viceroys of Peru (currently a redirect to List of viceroys of Peru) → List of viceroys of Peru (move · discuss) – MOS:JOBTITLES Woko Sapien (talk) 20:00, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
• Powder House Island, Michigan (currently a redirect to Powder House Island) → Powder House Island (move · discuss) – Conform to standard for geographic names, no other island named this to conflict with jp×g 18:29, 12 April 2021 (UTC)}}
• Dunn Loring–Merrifield station (currently a redirect to Dunn Loring station) → Dunn Loring station (move · discuss) – name was changed in 2011, but someone (now blocked) moved it back to its old title two years ago. WMSR (talk) 20:22, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Contested technical requests

• Sound of Freedom (film) → Sound of Freedom (move · discuss) – Clear primary per pageviews; move current article to Sound of Freedom (song) 162.208.168.92 (talk) 21:22, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

• I don't see a valid reason for this page move. I think this needs reliable sources and futher discussion to see if this is the primary topic. The film article was created in February 2020, while the song article was created in April 2007. I have created the redirect for "Sound of Freedom (song)", which targets the song article. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 21:40, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

The pageviews are clearly indicative of a primary topic, see WP:PTOPIC 162.208.168.92 (talk) 21:49, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

• Archy → Archy (software) (move · discuss) – Not primary per pageviews, and a dab page is necessary for "Archy" 162.208.168.92 (talk) 20:22, 12 April 2021 (UTC) see pageviews
  • None of those other pages are called Archy. Station1 (talk) 21:15, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Per WP:NOPRIMARY, in the absence of a primary topic, the dab page should be at the base name. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 21:26, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
