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.

Uncontroversial technical requests

• List of fictional elements, materials, isotopes and atomic particles (currently a redirect to List of fictional elements, materials, isotopes and subatomic particles) → List of fictional elements, materials, isotopes and subatomic particles (move · discuss) – Duh. 165.91.12.221 (talk) 06:40, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
• Pinnipeds in popular culture (currently a redirect to List of fictional pinnipeds) → List of fictional pinnipeds (move · discuss) – Based on the content, it seems that this is a list. The corresponding category is Category:Fictional pinnipeds. 165.91.12.221 (talk) 05:44, 9 December 2017 (UTC) 165.91.12.221 (talk) 05:44, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Contested technical requests

• – Per Category:Fictional states of the United States, which was speedily renamed from Category:Fictional U.S. states in January 2014. 165.91.12.221 (talk) 05:12, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

  Categories have weird naming conventions that should not always be applied to articles. In this case, the current title sounds much more natural. Jenks24 (talk) 05:22, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

• Balad Air Base → Joint Base Balad (currently a redirect back to Balad Air Base) (move · discuss) – It's mostly called Joint Base Balad. 199.80.250.133 (talk)

  Comment: The lede says that it's now known as Balad Air Base, but the sources don't seem to say either way. May be worth having a discussion before moving this. Bradv 05:06, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
