Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

Shortcuts

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=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.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

Badau district → Badau (move · discuss) – there's WP:NOPRIMARY topic with this name PK2 (talk; contributions) 02:50, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No evidence presented as to why there isn't a primary topic. I have reverted the undiscussed move of Baidu from earlier, this should be discussed. Ideally the dab page should be deleted per WP:ONEOTHER. — Amakuru (talk) 15:20, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agree per Amakuru, We need a strong evidences that this dab page is not a primary topic, this is need a consensus or discussion for his. ROY is WAR Talk! 02:59, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Puebloans → Pueblo peoples (currently a redirect back to Puebloans) (move · discuss) – Pueblo is the WP:COMMONNAME while Puebloans is an outdated, rarely used term. Plumber (talk) 03:49, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Given the related discussion at Talk:Pueblo § Requested move 7 March 2024 last year that included this page, it should be discussed before moving. If after reading that prior RM, you'd still like to consider the move, please click the discuss link above to open a full RM. TiggerJay (talk) 04:20, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

China Seismic Intensity Scale → China seismic intensity scale (currently a redirect back to China Seismic Intensity Scale) (move · discuss) – Jan 29 undiscussed move was not uncontroversial, since many books use the lowercase for this. Dicklyon (talk) 11:42, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It appears it was initially created at the current location, moved to the sentence case in 2015 without discussion, and then this month moved back without discussion. Given that ACRONYM might apply here, a description seems appropriate, click discuss above to being a full RM on the talk page. TiggerJay (talk) 14:31, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
European Macroseismic Scale → European macroseismic scale (currently a redirect back to European Macroseismic Scale) (move · discuss) – Yesterday's move to cap this was justified as a revert of an undiscussed move, but that move was in 2015 and had not been objected to in 9 years since. And lowercase is not uncommon in sources. Dicklyon (talk) 12:12, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Since it was recently moved, would suggest an RM. No objection to other PMs moving right now though. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 14:36, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Draft:Survivor 48 → Survivor 48 (currently a redirect instead to Survivor (American TV series)) (move · discuss) – Move to article and contestants have been released earlier this week. 27.49.15.129 (talk) 23:26, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Currently this draft is not yet eligible to be moved to main space. Since this season has already been completed, it should better match the more complete articles of other seasons such as Survivor 47. Also the prose needs to be updated to the present tense. TiggerJay (talk) 01:21, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Donald Trump proposal for displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip → proposals for forced displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip (currently a redirect back to Donald Trump proposal for displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip) (move · discuss) – As the original author of this new article, I request that it is moved back to the title that reflects its correct and broader scope, and its content. It was moved back to the original, less well-thought-out title I had originally chosen, based on a false "technical request" by an editor who is stalking me and systematically disrupting my work, and who doesn't appear to have any real interest in this article. This is a new article under development, that I am the sole author of, and there hasn't been a single editor who has offered any kind of support or rationale for the other former title, on the contrary. --Tataral (talk) 03:19, 1 February 2025 (UTC) Tataral (talk) 03:19, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly not uncontroversial. C F A 03:21, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're making a move in the middle of a deletion discussion. Adding content that's outside the scope of the original article and adding content with sources sources that don't even all discuss the topic and are about resettlement instead of relocation, for which there is already a perfectly adequate article at []Proposed Israeli resettlement of the Gaza Strip]] Golikom (talk) 03:25, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing that prevents the improvement of an article during an AfD discussion. No editor has offered any kind of support for the original title or overly narrow scope. Your claims are flatly wrong, as also addressed before. Find something more useful to do instead of trying to disrupt other editors' work. --Tataral (talk) 03:37, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator needed

Gloria Romero (actress) → Gloria Romero (currently a redirect instead to Gloria Romero (disambiguation)) (move · discuss) – Per Special:Permalink/1273107397#Requested move 26 January 2025. HurricaneEdgar 10:23, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@HurricaneEdgar I've moved the dab to Gloria Romero (disambiguation), The main page is move protected, so we need an admin. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 10:32, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
