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.

• Waterloo Campaign (currently a redirect to Waterloo campaign) → Waterloo campaign (move · discuss) – Case norm; overwhelmingly lowercase in sources. Dicklyon (talk) 15:54, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

  Is this actually true? The list of high-quality sources at the end of this article actually seems to show it mostly using "Campaign" with a capital C. (I know that just Google n-grams argument is apparently satisfactory for the Wikipedia we hate all capital letters crew in previous similar RMs, but this particular case seems even more titled than usual that n-grams are probably wrong and the sources are right.) . Ping @PBS: who maintains / wrote a lot of this. SnowFire (talk) 18:45, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

  Yes, it's true per books n-grams. Which referenced books did you check? The first few refs I checked either didn't use the term or used lowercase like here and here and here. Or mixed like in this one and this one. I haven't yet come to one that supports a proper name interpretation, so please point it out if you have. And I'm actually quite fond of capital letters, and use them all the time to indicate proper names, starts of sentences, title-case composition titles, etc. (in spite of the error in my username).
