Appearance
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:..."
If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

the - 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
- Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia (currently a redirect to Royal Flying Doctor Service) → Royal Flying Doctor Service (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME Felepeleip (talk) 05:23, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Royal Flying Doctor Service (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) should be histmerged onto the history at Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views); it is a few months older with no overlapping edits of content, so an earlier article. -- 64.229.90.53 (talk) 05:28, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
- List of terrorist incidents in Pakistan since 2001 → List of terrorist incidents in Pakistan (currently a redirect back to List of terrorist incidents in Pakistan since 2001) (move · discuss) – Article contains data from 1970s to present Ytpks896 (talk) 12:03, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
- Comment The target, List of terrorist incidents in Pakistan (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) contains an article that was merged away. Suggest that the article history be renamed to List of terrorist incidents in Pakistan (2002-2007) which are the years the content covered before it was merged away in 2007. That list was split off into per year lists in 2012, so the content is spread over 6 by year lists now. -- 64.229.90.53 (talk) 15:31, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
- Comment a histmerge would also work, since there is no overlapping history of content edits. The target is literally an earlier incarnation of the later list. -- 64.229.90.53 (talk) 16:02, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Administrator needed
- Edit this section if a request requires an administrator (e.g., because the page to be moved is move-protected or the target is creation-protected). Place the request in another section if it only requires a page mover.
Contested technical requests
- Talk:Solar_Simulator (currently a redirect to Talk:Solar simulator) → Talk:Solar simulator (move · discuss) – talk page without redirect is not showing up on the main talk page for the article because of a capitalization issue. I do not want to overwrite the existing talk page, but merely ensure what I added is visible on it so it can be properly reviewed. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Solar_Simulator&redirect=no FreshAlien (talk) 04:12, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
- Not done Why not simply move your comment to the correct page? Not going to move the redirect talk page as this will over right the existing article talk. Maybe you want a history merge, but then what's the need, just move your comment? Polyamorph (talk) 08:32, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
- Charles Spencer Chaplin III (currently a redirect to Charles Chaplin Jr.) → Charles Chaplin Jr. (move · discuss) – Undiscussed move from last month. Broke a lot of incoming links. Doesn't look based in policy, and doesn't seem likely he was ever known by this name. --Quiz shows 07:50, 16 November 2021 (UTC)*
