Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct page 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: 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.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

• Hawaiʻi State Art Museum → No. 1 Capitol District Building (currently a redirect to Hawaiʻi State Art Museum) (move · discuss) – Primary subject of article. Museum content moved to Capitol Modern 〜 Adflatuss • talk 07:22, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

  Probably OK to do this move since the article is predominantly about the building, but noting that the OP also forked off the article Capitol Modern which is specifically about the museum, in case that's relevant here.  — Amakuru (talk) 08:25, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

• Template talk:LTT 1445 Ab → Talk:LTT 1445 Ab (move · discuss) – revert the end product of a bizarre series of moves, apparently test edits, possibly trying to rename a page Lithopsian (talk) 16:59, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

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

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.

• Kyle Harrison (baseball) → Kyle Harrison (move · discuss) – Primary topic. Per WP:PTOPIC. See, inter alia, pageviews. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:20F3:1000:9685:AD85 (talk) 15:53, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

  There was a previous RM just two weeks ago, moving Kyle Harrison, the lacrosse player to its own disambiguated page from the primary topic position. Among the discussion, it was raised to create a dab page instead at the primary topic. I suggest holding off moving the basketballer until it is clear that the pageviews aren't a result of WP:RECENTISM. Otherwise, feel free to open a discussion. – robertsky (talk) 16:03, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Pageviews show the baseball (not basketball) player to have been the primary topic over the past 12 months, which obviates any legitimate recency concerns. (I'm the same IP as above). --2603:7000:2101:AA00:44F2:25FB:C6CD:BEDD (talk) 05:01, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Apologies for the confusion. And yes, I stand byWP:RECENTISM still. The baseball player only receives a huge amount of the pageviews only recently (from 23 August 2023 onwards), before that baseball player and lacrosse player had similar average numbers of pageviews (yes, i am using Kyle_Harrison for Kyle Harrison (lacrosse) in the pageview analysis because that's where the page was). – robertsky (talk) 12:54, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

• Yucai School Attached to Sichuan Chengdu No.7 High School → Yucai School (move · discuss) – WP:CONCISE Cfls (talk) 01:13, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

@Cfls: While this is more concise, do you have evidence that this is its WP:COMMONNAME and that this is a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the term Yucai School (disambiguation), which you moved from Yucai School? My current inclination is to think that move should be reverted. SilverLocust 💬 02:37, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

I've reverted that dab page move. Also suggest the article should go back to some variant of "Yucai Middle School", with an appropriate disambiguator. Insofar as there is an English common name at all, it seems it might be that. The prior title before undiscussed moves was Number Seven Yucai Middle School.  — Amakuru (talk) 06:04, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

• ASC Oțelul Galați → SC Oțelul Galați (currently a redirect to ASC Oțelul Galați) (move · discuss) – The full name of the club is "Asociaţia Clubul Sportiv Suporter Club Oţelul Galaţi". Hence, the current page name is both incorrect and incomplete -> This should be either the full "ACS (not ASC) SC Otelul Galati" or more simply "SC Otelul Galati". The second variant is also used by the club on its website. 8Dodo8 (talk · contribs) 09:29, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

@8Dodo8: There was an RM with your exact request that was closed as no consensus, which makes this request not uncontroversial. This is a WP:PCM. If you wish to continue with your request, click the discuss link in your request to begin a formal WP:RM discussion. Once you've done that, or if you do not wish to continue, please remove your request. Thanks! – MaterialWorks 10:28, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

• Drmbon, Nagorno-Karabakh → Drmbon (currently a redirect to Drmbon, Nagorno-Karabakh) (move · discuss) – No other Wikipedia article called Drmbon. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 16:58, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

  @Super Dromaeosaurus: This has been moved several times before. This is a WP:PCM. If you wish to continue with your request, click the discuss link in your request to begin a formal WP:RM discussion. Once you've done that, or if you do not wish to continue, please remove your request. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 18:22, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

There was edit-warring over the page's title as some users moved it to the Armenian name Drmbon and others to the Azerbaijani name Heyvalı. This is completely unrelated to that dispute. Disambiguation is not necessary. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 18:29, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

I agree that the proposed move would be sensible, but even so, I think a formal RM would be productive here; the title's had a history of move warring, but doesn't appear to have been formally discussed since 2011, so it could be useful to have a recent affirmative consensus to point to if the titling debate flares up again.

• The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak → The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak (currently a redirect to The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak) (move · discuss) – Title was moved to a grammatically incorrect one with little justification or discussion. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:28, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

@Zxcvbnm: This would be restoring a reverted undiscussed move, not reverting an undiscussed move. I would suggest waiting a while to see if the reverting editor responds at Talk:The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak#Capitalization of "through". They might change their mind about following official name rather than standard preposition styles. If not, either open an RM or revert to the original title The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki, which is where it was until yesterday. SilverLocust 💬 10:33, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

• Microsoft 365 Copilot → Microsoft Copilot (currently a redirect to Microsoft 365 Copilot) (move · discuss) – Microsoft 365 Copilot, Windows Copilot and Microsoft Edge's Bing Chat are being merged into one. This is the announcement. Quote from the website: "Today we take the next step to unify these capabilities into a single experience we call Microsoft Copilot, your everyday AI companion." I believe this quote, along with the move Microsoft is making, confirms Microsoft Copilot is all of these combined or unified.. Reallysoftuser (talk) 14:05, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

  @Reallysoftuser: WP:TOOSOON. Google results have the current title way outstripping the proposed title, so this would break WP:COMMONNAME. See also WP:NAMECHANGE and WP:OFFICIALNAME This is a WP:PCM. If you wish to continue with your request, click the discuss link in your request to begin a formal WP:RM discussion. Once you've done that, or if you do not wish to continue, please remove your request. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 15:45, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Administrator needed

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.

• Draft:Cool Cat Saves the Kids → Cool Cat Saves the Kids (move · discuss) – Wrote an article that I believe satisfies requirements. JSwift49 20:42, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Moved to admin section, target page is salted. – MaterialWorks 23:21, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Pinging ReaderofthePack as protecting admin: any objections? (The sourcing seems to be at least somewhat better than the deleted version.) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:49, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
