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

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

• List of female astronauts (currently a redirect to List of women astronauts) → List of women astronauts (move · discuss) – Moved from "women" to "female" in 2008 "to match name of category"; but cat was then renamed to Category:Women astronauts in 2014. Move the list back to the original title to restore consistency with the category and other lists. pburka (talk) 18:47, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
  • Given previous discussion regarding the title (even Talk:List_of_female_astronauts#Shouldn't_this_be_"female_astronauts_and_cosmonauts? is discussion), this is WP:PCM and so probably needs a WP:RM. I'm not objecting though. -Kj cheetham (talk) 18:51, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.

• Fatimah bint Musa (currently a redirect to Fatima bint Musa) → Fatima bint Musa (move · discuss) – To match the recent move Fatimah --> Fatima, which is the shorter and more modern transliteration of the Arabic name (فاطمة). Albertatiran (talk) 08:53, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

@Albertatiran: given how contested the move for Fatimah was, I expect no less for this move as well. There is also a series of moves between Fatimah and Fatima for this article, albeit with diacritics. – robertsky (talk) 17:22, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Administrator needed

Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.
