Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

Technical requests

[edit]
Edit this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests

[edit]
  • NHC Arena → Timrå Isstadion (currently a redirect back to NHC Arena) (move · discuss) – The arena has changed sponsor several times, and is already two sponsor changes out of date. This should be moved to the original name (which is still widely used) so that links don’t become out of date every few years. LivLovisa (talk) 20:56, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

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

Contested technical requests

[edit]
  • Kabaddi World Cup (standard style) → Kabaddi World Cup (move · discuss) – This the only official world cup authorised by the international federation of the sport. The others are unofficial versions hosted in unofficial capacities. There should be a separate disambiguation page for the others. Kabaddi World Cup should feature the actual World Cup. OCDD (talk)

The politician gets more views than the squash player , but neither cannot be at the level of primary topic as that needs much more views than all the others combined. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JuniperChill (talk • contribs)
It's not a deletion request. This is requested moves, not requested deletion. Why point out MfD when it isn't what's being requested? -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 01:18, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The user who wrote this essay still contributes once in a while but has never been particularly active, so userfying the essay via a page move would not accomplish much because he/she may not be interested in improving it. While Station1 above misread your entry as a request for deletion, I think your reference to the requirements at WP:ESSAY would support deleting that essay rather than simply moving it to someplace less visible. So you'll have to initiate a different process, but that essay could indeed be proposed for deletion with the same reasoning. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:04, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Respectfully, I did not misread it. Userfying a 17-year-old essay to a subpage of a subpage of a Userpage where even that user might not realize it's there, without leaving a redirect (we don't leave cross-namespace redirects) is tantamount to a backdoor deletion, whether intentional or not, and that's not something we normally do at RM, and certainly not as a technical request. As you point out, there might indeed be a case for deletion (although it appears the request misses the essay's point of burying the lead), and there might even be a case for a full RM per WP:NOTBURO, but as I said originally, in any case it's not uncontroversial. Station1 (talk) 18:25, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But you may have misread the requester's motivations. Assuming a sneaky plan for a backdoor deletion requires more evidence of bad faith, and your intricate explanation of how it could be done and how the rest of us could respond procedurally is fairly ironic when it ends with WP:NOTBURO. Just recommend a deletion nomination for failing WP:ESSAY. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 21:43, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also object to moving this without consensus. You can start an RM or a regular discussion on the talk page. C F A 03:05, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@NightWolf1223 Without any qualifier, the phrase to "Trim level" is also used in aviation to indicate that the aircraft is trimmed to a level flight attitude, so this is definitely contentious and more likely the non disambiguated term should redirect back to Trim and this should be moved to Automotive trim level, Automotive trim, Automobile trim or Car trim or so as WP:NATURAL disambiguation is preferred over paranthetical.

RfD started to point Trim level back to the DAB page of Trim - Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2024_November_25#Trim_level. Raladic (talk) 19:09, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article appears to be about the name change, with regard to WP:NAMECHANGE, we look for coverage about the organisation that uses the new name. Bobby Cohn (talk) 19:42, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator needed

[edit]
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.
