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

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

• The Imp of the Perverse (short story) (currently a redirect to The Imp of the Perverse) → The Imp of the Perverse (move · discuss) – Previously, the undabbed title contained an article defining the term which was coined by Poe in this story, but that article was merged and redirected here per this discussion. Seems like a pointless arrangement that should be the other way around. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 16:05, 13 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.

• Leo (2023 Indian film) → Leo (Indian film) (move · discuss) – No other Indian films with this title. 176.33.242.84 (talk) 04:24, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

I don't think we can do this one because there is also an upcoming American film of the same title. Someone already attempted an article at Draft:Leo (2023 American film). There will probably be an approved article for that film when it is released in November. Also there is already a preemptive redirect at Leo (2023 American film). ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:04, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Moved to contested. Can't ping you, but IP, if you return to see this and want a discussion, you can open one with the discuss link. -2pou (talk) 16:55, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

• Aprille Ericsson-Jackson (currently a redirect to Aprille Ericsson) → Aprille Joy Ericsson (move · discuss) – name change Jamiekysn (talk) 01:31, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

  Do you have evidence for the name change? Several sources cited use the current name. Polyamorph (talk) 07:41, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

• Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome → Sotokanda Icchome (move · discuss) – Name change 2A00:23C6:880C:E101:71C1:B563:B9DB:E46E (talk) 04:35, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

any sources supporting WP:NAMECHANGE? – robertsky (talk) 04:52, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

• Australian honours and awards system → Orders, decorations, and medals of Australia (currently a redirect back to Australian honours and awards system) (move · discuss) – WP:CONSISTENT with other articles. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 04:34, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
• New Zealand royal honours system → Orders, decorations, and medals of New Zealand (currently a redirect back to New Zealand royal honours system) (move · discuss) – WP:CONSISTENT with other articles. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 04:34, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
• Papua New Guinea honours system → Orders, decorations, and medals of Papua New Guinea (currently a redirect back to Papua New Guinea honours system) (move · discuss) – WP:CONSISTENT with other articles. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 04:34, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
• Civil decorations of Pakistan → Orders, decorations, and medals of Pakistan (currently a redirect back to Civil decorations of Pakistan) (move · discuss) – WP:CONSISTENT with other articles. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 07:25, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

  @Hemant Dabral There have been prior discussions about the destination titles which ended with 'not moved' or 'no consensus'. These are WP:PCM, please open requested move discussion(s). I have also reverted your Pakistan move to the previous title as the prior discussion ended with a no consensus closure, therefore should remain at the last stable title. – robertsky (talk) 13:46, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

  Can you move Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea pages if they are not contested? Thanks! — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 13:59, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

• Draft:Raymond Kudzawu-D'Pherdd → Raymond Kudzawu-D'Pherdd (move · discuss) – please move Draft:Raymond Kudzawu-D'Pherdd to Raymond Kudzawu-D'Pherdd. Pocket Noodle (talk) 02:21, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

@Pocket Noodle: Please submit via the WP:AFC process. Polyamorph (talk) 07:30, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

• Horenka, Bucha Raion, Kyiv Oblast → Horenka (move · discuss) – It's the only village with the name. The disambiguation page should be deleted to make way, as the only other possible article with the name "Horenka" is a river which doesn't even have an article, and could be easily navigated to via a hatnote. HappyWith (talk) 03:17, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

  @HappyWithWhatYouHaveToBeHappyWith: Small world, just swung by here on chance and saw this. (I'm the creator of the Horenka DAB.) The village in Bucha Raion is not the only village with the name. See d:Q18405713. There's a commented-out line in the DAB for that village, but currently it's not mentioned anywhere on enwiki. As to deleting the DAB, AfD would be the venue for that, but note that the Horenka River is mentioned at the linked Irpin (river), so passes WP:DABMENTION. Note also that which terms have articles does not have a bearing on whether a given sense is primary. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 08:46, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

• Decimus Valerius Asiaticus (consul 35) (currently a redirect to Decimus Valerius Asiaticus) → Decimus Valerius Asiaticus (move · discuss) – Already redirects here so already primary meaning. PatGallacher (talk) 16:43, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

The solution was to create a disamb page out of Decimus Valerius Asiaticus, which would list Decimus Valerius Asiaticus (consul 35) and Decimus Valerius Asiaticus (Legatus of Gallia Belgica). There is no primary meaning. T8612 (talk) 11:32, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

• All In & The Hardest Thing → All In and The Hardest Thing (currently a redirect back to All In & The Hardest Thing) (move · discuss) – Violates MOS:& JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 03:46, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

This title actually refers to two distinct episodes. All In / The Hardest Thing might be better. 162 etc. (talk) 04:03, 13 October 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.

• Dr Jaan Nissar Lone (currently a redirect to Jaan Nissar Lone) → Jaan Nissar Lone (move · discuss) – MOS:DOCTOR ForsythiaJo (talk) 01:13, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Jaan Nissar Lone was salted most recently by Muboshgu, so I have left a message for him at User talk:Muboshgu. SilverLocust 💬 08:04, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

• Aryan Shiva (currently a redirect to Aryan (Tamil actor)) → Aryan (Tamil actor) (move · discuss) – Implement requested move. Lightoil (talk) 14:20, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
