Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

Requesting technical moves

If a desired move is uncontroversial or technical in nature (e.g. spelling and capitalization), please feel free to move the page yourself. If you cannot, request it below.

If any of the following apply to the desired move, treat it as potentially controversial:

• There is an existing article (not just a redirect) 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, you may revert the move and initiate a discussion on the talk page of the article. (See also: Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle.) If you are unable to revert, request it below.

To list new technical requests use the following code at the bottom of the sub-section "Technical requests" immediately below:

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

This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Do not edit the article's talk page.

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.

Alternatively, if the only obstacle to a technical move is another page in the way (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), 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 undesired page for deletion under criterion for speedy deletion G6. If the page is a redirect, place the code above the redirection. For a list of articles being considered for uncontroversial speedy deletion, see Category:Candidates for uncontroversial speedy deletion.

Technical requests

• Super giant slalom skiing → Super-G (move) – Common name, even on the official FIS page (Google has 10 hits for "super giant slalom" on fis-ski.com), as well as in other Wikipedia articles. The idea of a move was brought up by someone in 2010 (without anyone opposing), and as a reader I have previously considered the current title rather odd.
  The only issue I can see is the hyphen. Based on the use of "Super-G" not "Super G" in the first sentence of the article I chose the hyphenated as the suggested target. I also believe that this is the official version, but use is varied, even within Wikipedia articles and FIS pages. 88.88.165.222 (talk) 01:52, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
• Giant slalom skiing → Giant slalom (move) – Common name; "giant slalom skiing" is rather uncommon, and the disambiguation is not required. As the other slaloms have no giant version there is no potential for misunderstanding. 88.88.165.222 (talk) 02:09, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
