Consider the following points before listing pages here:

If the move you are suggesting is uncontroversial or technical in nature (e.g. spelling and capitalization), please feel free to move the page yourself. If you cannot move the page yourself, then request it below.
If any of the following situations applies to the requested move, it should be treated as controversial:
- There is an existing article at the target title
- There has been any past debate about the best title for the page
- Someone could reasonably disagree with the move
If the page has recently been moved without discussion, then you may revert the move (although this is not required, and may not always be possible) and initiate a discussion of the move on the talk page of the article. (See also: Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle.)
If the only obstacle to a technical move is a navigation aid (e.g., a redirect to the current title of the article to be moved, a redirect with no incoming links, or an unnecessary disambiguation page with a minor edit history), you may add the following code to the top of the page that is in the way:
{{db-move|page to be moved here|reason for move}}
This will list the page for deletion under criterion for speedy deletion G6. If the page is a redirect, place the code above the redirection.

Otherwise, list new technical requests at the bottom of the sub-section "Technical requests" immediately below, using the following code:

{{subst:RMassist|old page name|requested name|reason for move}}

This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. No edits to the article's talk page are required.

If you object to a proposal listed in Technical requests, please move it to the Contested technical requests section below.

If your technical request is contested by another editor, remove the request from the "Contested technical requests" section and follow the instructions at Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves, below.

 <!--
 Please use the template {{subst:RMassist|OldPageName|RequestedName|ReasonForMove}} on a new line just before the subsection
 "====Contested technical requests====", replacing "OldPageName" with the current page name, "RequestedName" with the name you would like, and "ReasonForMove" with the reason you have for renaming the page. PLEASE LEAVE A BLANK LINE BETWEEN SEPARATE REQUESTS.
 TO ADMINISTRATORS: If a request is completed, remove it. If the section is empty or not empty after your removal, you might note this in your edit summary, e.g., "done 2, not empty".
