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.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Territory of Colorado (California) → Pico Act (currently a redirect instead to Andrés Pico#Post-statehood activity) (move · discuss) – Most sources label this 1859 attempt at state partition as the Pico Act, for instance the 1970 scholarly paper "State Separation Schemes, 1907-1921" by historian Roberta McDow. Modern sources such as the Laist continue to call it the Pico Act. And the current article name was not a requirement: the proposed name of the southern partition was not restricted to "Territory of Colorado", as the legislation text allowed any "other name as may be meet and proper."

- @Binksternet: This would seem to require a non-trivial amount of work to re-scope this article to the act and then the lead becomes the background leading up to the Pico act, so this is far beyond just a title issue. This is probably best left up to talk page discussion first to discuss changing the scope, and then a formal RM discussion. TiggerJay (talk) 03:04, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Diabolical (Destruction album) → Diabolical (album) (currently a redirect instead to Diabolical) (move · discuss) – Other two albums at Diabolical (disambiguation) do not have articles. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 19:16, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Old Guard (comics) → The Old Guard (franchise) (currently a redirect back to The Old Guard (comics)#Film adaptations) (move · discuss) – swap pages. comics page should redirect to the franchise page as non-comics-related content is a lot more substantial now ★ TARDIS builder^✉ 21:37, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

Nation state → Nation-state (currently a redirect back to Nation state) (move · discuss) – Correct standard spelling in political science (Britannica, Pennsylvania University, Vienna University) –Tobias (talk) 15:00, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think this is rather a major change, and usage is not consistent across sources, so would benefit from a full discussion. It was previously moved in the other direction by Grant65 but that was back in 2008. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 15:26, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
2025 CONCACAF Women's Futsal Championship → 2025 CONCACAF W Futsal Championship (restricted by the titleblacklist, which page movers can override) (move · discuss) – As per Concacaf and CONCACAF W Championship Hariboneagle927 (talk) 10:21, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Any source or set of sources to support this beyond the CONCACAF website?! This isn't CONCACAF W Championship as you're stating in your request and not every women's tournament from CONCACAF is "CONCACAF W..."! Would love to be proven otherwise. Intrisit (talk) 11:42, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I am aware. CONCACAF W Championship is just a precedent I'm mentioning – the CONCACAF external link is for the futsal. The very first edition of the women's futsal version is also going as "W Futsal", singular W. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 03:01, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia community → Wikipedians (currently a redirect back to Wikipedia community) (move · discuss) – better name Astropulse (talk) 06:55, 15 February 2025 (UTC)Astropulse (talk) 06:55, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The current title indicates that the article covers larger phenomena than just the vague mass of people called Wikipedians. Also, "better name" according to whom? ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:37, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This deserves a full discussion. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:41, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I second that a full move discussion ought to be had for this one. We would need sources to determine where the short hand term is a better WP:COMMONNAME. Trailblazer101 (talk) 05:02, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Santa Lucia Luntana → Santa Lucia luntana (currently a redirect back to Santa Lucia Luntana) (move · discuss) – adjectives are not capitalized in Italian or Neapolitan titles; see itwiki and napwiki ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 20:22, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is the English Wikipedia, and per ngrams the title is generally capitalised in English sources - [1] — Amakuru (talk) 21:35, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nope. We don't follow that rule. MOS:NONENGTITLE prevails. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization)#Works and compositions. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 01:43, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ahmednagar Junction railway station → Ahmednagar railway station (currently a redirect back to Ahmednagar Junction railway station) (move · discuss) – It isn't Junction yet 2409:40C0:11:31E4:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 10:33, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Since this was previously moved, and has been stable at this name for more than a year, this should require a full RM discussion and would not qualify as uncontroversial or uncontested. TiggerJay (talk) 05:00, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Value theory → Value (interdisciplinary) (currently a redirect back to Value theory) (move · discuss) – Better dedscription ModernDaySlavery (talk) 03:21, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: "Interdisciplinary" may not be as common of a search term for some readers, and WP:NATURAL disambiguation tends to be more preferred when possible. "Value theory" covers what the subject is in concept: a theory, not solely an "interdisciplinary", which would be an incomplete disambiguation.

Rani Kamalapati (Habibganj)–Rewa Vande Bharat Express → Rani Kamalapati–Rewa Vande Bharat Express (move · discuss) – name correction 103.185.174.130 (talk) 10:43, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
