Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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: edit 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=reason for 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.

Contested technical requests[edit]

This has been a primary redirect since 2006, and at first glance, a justified one. Not uncontroversial. 162 etc. (talk) 21:46, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:COMMONNAME may be more relevant here, rather than his full name. I see him named three different ways in various reliable sources: Milan Smith; Milan D. Smith; and Milan D. Smith, Jr. If journalists use the basic "Milan Smith" at least part of the time, there seems to be no harm with using that for his article title here. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:36, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I tend to think of him as "Milan Smith", but that may be because I'd seen this Wikipedia article. @Adg135cg: We don't necessarily go by "full name" (like John G. Roberts, Jr.) unless that is the most common name in independent, reliable sources or unless there is a need to distinguish this article from another article about a person of the same name. This technical request has been contested. As such, it would require a requested-move discussion, which you can begin by clicking "discuss" on your request. You can remove this request after opening a discussion (or if you do not want to continue). SilverLocust 💬 11:35, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
