Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

Requesting technical moves

If a desired move is uncontroversial and 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, without brackets ([[]])|requested name, without brackets ([[]])|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.

• Air21 Express (2011–present) → Air21 Express (move) – An RM on June 2012 ended with consensus to move, but 10 months later, it still hasn't been moved to the agreed upon destination, but is instead moved somewhere else to keep with year WP:ENDASH. –HTD 15:33, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Puzzled - The closer of the June 2012 move discussion said he would do the article move *after* some links had been fixed. Judging from the current incoming links to Air21 Express this has not yet been done. Under your theory, the name 'Air21 Express' would only refer to the team for 2011-present, and so there would be no links to it from various championships that took place in the early 2000s. It is understandable that the 2011-present team can inherit the *name* Air21 Express but they should not also inherit the playing history of a different team. That other team is currently known as Barako Bull Energy Cola, but carried various names in the past, all of them listed in the sidebar of that article. Given how messy this is it could be simpler to create a DAB page for Air21 Express with various links to what that name implied at different times. Then we would keep Air21 Express (2011–present) as the name of the current team. Maybe other solutions are possible. EdJohnston (talk) 17:23, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
