On 3 June 2007, it was proposed that this page be moved from Wikipedia:Requested moves to Wikipedia:Proposed moves. The result of the discussion was no consensus, not moved.

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Requested moves page.

Discussion on WP:TFD that could affect the functionality of {{Requested move}}

There is a discussion happening at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2014 November 26#Template:RMtalk that could affect the functionality of {{Requested move}}, specifically how the template creates section headers on talk pages. Steel1943 (talk) 22:11, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Heads up, everyone! – While the proposal is framed as a merge of {{RMtalk}} into {{Requested move}}, the key upshot of that is to change the default behavior of {{Requested move}}: by default it will add a section title in the format:

Requested move 14 July 2024.

You will still be able to override that default with a customized section header. However, I do not plan on adding the additional "talk" section by default, unless an explicit consensus calls for that. So far, there have been no comments; at some point we will assume that your silence means you don't object to the change. – Wbm1058 (talk) 12:43, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I will be implementing this shortly. Wbm1058 (talk) 17:19, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done – let me know if you run into any problems. {{subst:RMtalk}} is being deprecated in favor of {{subst:Requested move|talk=yes}} – Wbm1058 (talk) 15:22, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's nice that there is a default header with such precision, but if the editor proposes the change using the "new section" button and has to leave the section header blank, it's unfortunate that we end up having a new requested move section with no edit summary; there's no quick way for editors with the page on their watchlists to figure out that a move was requested. Would there be a way to check for the bot to check for new move requests that have no edit summaries and add some sort of dummy edit to notify editors that a move discussion is what was added to the page?

User talk page templates giving advice for better thought though move requests

Is there such a thing as this? A great many requests have had no checks on source or within Wikipedia usages or previous move requests etc.

The development of a barnstar related to article titling might also be an idea. GregKaye ✍♪ 10:43, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Chequered skipper

Due to some indecision on my part the page Chequered Skipper was move to Chequered skipper twice. Can somebody undelete the relevant versions to correct this? William Avery (talk) 15:41, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template help

Can someone who knows how to code the template placement fix the coding at Talk:Cuban missile crisis where a vote and discussion for the capitalization of the page is underway. Thanks, much appreciated. Randy Kryn 8:14 13 January, 2015 (UTC)

This was finally fixed, after several attempts, with this edit. Read the instructions (click the Project page tab). {{subst:requested move}} is designed to avoid formatting problems. Wbm1058 (talk) 21:52, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Woodie

Please move a disconnected talk archive

Could somebody please move Wikipedia talk:Don't be a dick/Archive 1 to Wikipedia talk:Don't be a jerk/Archive 1 because I can't work out how to use the requested move template on an isolated talk page. Thanks, 90.219.67.159 (talk) 15:25, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
