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.

Technical requests

Edit this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

• The Mafeje Affair (currently a redirect to Mafeje affair) → Mafeje affair (move · discuss) – Harmonize with other 'affair' articles; doesn't qualify for WP:NCTHE. DigitalIceAge (talk) 18:41, 10 February 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.

• Torkham → Torkham border crossing (move · discuss) – First this article is about border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan, and second Torkham a town located in Pakistan near crossing, to end confusion rename it to border crossing and redirect Torkham to Torkham, Pakistan article, like similar to the Wesh–Chaman border crossing & Chaman. 103.141.159.225 (talk) 18:44, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

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.

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Earth (16th nomination) → Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Earth (13th nomination) (restricted by the titleblacklist, which page movers can override) (move · discuss) – Fix nomination order —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 21:58, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Note: Please suppress redirect when moving —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 21:58, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

@Pythoncoder Page is salted because Wikipedians can't find a new joke on April Fools Day. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 22:01, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Hence the technical request. The salting was done unilaterally by an admin who at one point had salted every hypothetical nomination from 9 to 20, but nominations 9–12 have since been moved to their proper titles. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 22:09, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

I see. @Scottywong, since you are the protecting admin, would you mind doing the honors? LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 23:41, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
