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 this section if you want to move a request from Uncontroversial to Contested.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Upton-West Upton, Massachusetts (currently a redirect to Upton (CDP), Massachusetts) → Upton (CDP), Massachusetts (move · discuss) – correct name of census-designated place, since 2010. Ken Gallager (talk) 19:08, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Mokryan (currently a redirect to Mukriyan) → Mukriyan (move · discuss) – per COMMONNAME. For whatever reason I can't seem to find the 'move' section to move the page myself Semsûrî (talk) 16:02, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Joona Sotala (currently a redirect to Serral) → Serral (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME Pbrks (talk) 15:39, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ottawa Titans (baseball) (currently a redirect to Ottawa Titans) → Ottawa Titans (move · discuss) – Primary topic per pageviews. Ottawa Titans (lacrosse) can be linked by hatnote per WP:ONEOTHER. 162 etc. (talk) 14:19, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Emis Forame To Himona Anixiatika (currently a redirect to Eurovision Song Contest 1996) → Emis forame to himona anixiatika (currently a redirect instead to Eurovision Song Contest 1996) (move · discuss) – Per MOS:FOREIGNTITLE — TheThomanski | t | c | 19:55, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Association for Cooperative Operations Research and Development (currently a redirect to ACORD) → ACORD (move · discuss) – Company is largely known by its acronym in the industry (a la NASA, NATO, etc.), so this is a more relevant title. Hemeiling (talk) 19:50, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

HMHS Britannic (1914) (currently a redirect to HMHS Britannic) → HMHS Britannic (move · discuss) – only ship of name, per WP:NC-SHIPS no need for disambiguation Llammakey (talk) 14:21, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Emma González (currently a redirect to X González) → X González (move · discuss) – Changed their name. Started an RM on the talk page; consensus after a few days that we can SNOW close it. Gaelan 💬✏️ 19:24, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Contested technical requests

Siegbert Salomon Prawer → S. S. Prawer (currently a redirect back to Siegbert Salomon Prawer) (move · discuss) – Per WP:COMMONNAME (see, e.g., [1]). 24.77.42.223 (talk) 00:25, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, Known as Siegbert Prawer in Gbook biographical contexts, and that appears to be WP:COMMONNAME per normal bio practice. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:48, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The use of "Siegbert Prawer" seems rather uncommon. This n-gram suggests that "S. S. Prawer" (with or without the space between the initials) is seven times more common than "Siegbert Prawer". I fail to see how "S. S. Prawer" fails to meet WP:COMMONNAME but "Siegbert Prawer" does.

Additionally, "Siegbert Prawer" is neither the current nor the proposed title. Do you have a preference between the current title and the proposed one? 24.77.42.223 (talk) 20:08, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

TeamViewer (company) → TeamViewer (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME and differentiation from software product of the same name Angryskies (talk) 00:40, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Undiscussed primary topic swap, see revert request below. 162 etc. (talk) 15:06, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

TeamViewer (software) (currently a redirect to TeamViewer) → TeamViewer (move · discuss) – Undiscussed move with the intention of a primary topic swap; should be going to RM first 162 etc. (talk) 15:06, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
