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:..."
If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Trickle-up effect (currently a redirect to Trickle-up economics) → Trickle-up economics (move · discuss) – Swap names per wp:commonname. "economics" is used in virtually all RS, very few use "effect". Only 1 RS in use on the article uses "effect". HC (talk) 20:54, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Kenny McIntosh (American football) (currently a redirect to Kenny McIntosh) → Kenny McIntosh (move · discuss) – Current page for 'Kenny McIntosh' is a disambiguation page with two entries, one to the football player, and another to another football player instead named 'Kennedy McIntosh'. Thus, there is no other page on Wikipedia that links to anything with "Kenny McIntosh", and the running back (with the '(American football)' disambiguation) should have the base, non-disambiguated page.

- Fall River Marksmen (currently a redirect to Fall River F.C. (1922–1931)) → Fall River F.C. (currently a redirect instead to Fall River F.C. (1932)) (move · discuss) – There is a previously moved article called Fall River F.C. that has been moved to Fall River F.C. (1932). So the redirect is currently occupied preventing Fall River Marksmen moving there. -- Libro0 (talk) 04:41, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, would you please be able to show evidence that the club from the 1920's should be at the base title, while the one from the 1930's should have a disambiguator? As opposed to, for example, a dabpage at the base title? Dr. Vogel (talk) 08:43, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- Courtesy ping @Libro0 Silikonz💬 21:26, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I can provide evidence to that effect. I can provide countless references to what the team's official name is. The other team played a season in 1932 and was significantly less notable. I can provide citations in their respective articles. It would help me to organize these articles which need more attention. The 1920's team was quite notable and had the name much longer. This information is shown in these articles. Titling articles with nicknames should be avoided because I have renamed an article that had a totally erroneous nickname while other teams have had several nicknames over different periods.

- DrVogel do you want to contest this move? -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:11, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- I left it here because I'm on the fence and I wanted to see more opinions. My gut feeling with this one is that a dabpage or even a merge would be better than moving one of the 2 clubs to the base title, but I could be persuaded either way. Dr. Vogel (talk) 13:05, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

- List of political parties in Russia → Political parties in Russia (currently a redirect back to List of political parties in Russia) (move · discuss) – As I mentioned in the talk page when suggesting the offer, this article deals with various aspects of the system and aspects of political parties in Russia (history, overview, legal aspects etc.) and is not a mere list of parties. Just as there are articles called Political parties in Ukraine or Political parties in the United States. Thank you for the help. Rakoon (talk) 20:45, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Contested technical requests
- Austrian School (currently a redirect to Austrian school of economics) → Austrian school of economics (move · discuss) – Change to sentence case, per MOS:AT. —Fezzy1347Let’s chat 15:14, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Moved from technical requests. @Fezzy1347:Too major of a change to make without discussion. I think the common name is just “Austrian School”. —-В²C ☎ 17:53, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Multivariate → Multivariate (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to Multivariate) (move · discuss) – then redirect Multivariate as in Multivariate (mathematics) fgnievinski (talk) 13:52, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Fgnievinski: I'm not sure this is the primary topic. See massviews analysis. In addition, the page Multivariate (mathematics) redirects to doesn't act as a disambiguator of any kind, or even link to Multivariate calculus, for that matter. Silikonz💬 15:28, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- it's all about multiple variables, called "multivariate" in adjective form. fgnievinski (talk) 15:32, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Fgnievinski, that does not address the question of how the base name will address all the related articles. Silikonz💬 15:35, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Actually, Multivariate fails as a DAB because it's just WP:PARTIAL; as such, it should be merged into the main article, Multivariate and univariate . (Shall we move this discussion elsewhre? fgnievinski (talk) 15:45, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Fgnievinski, re your last point, we probably should, though I'm just thinking if there are ways to mention the separate articles in Multivariate (mathematics) in prose. Silikonz💬 16:48, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Silikonz Here's a draft: User_talk:Fgnievinski/Univariate_and_multivariate. If you don't oppose, I'd copy it over main space, then retarget Multivariate. fgnievinski (talk) 17:13, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Fgnievinski I think it's mostly okay. I'll take a more in-depth look at it in a bit. Also, curious choice to put it in user talk space. Silikonz💬 17:15, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

- So, Multivariate (mathematics) currently redirects to Univariate and multivariate. I'm not even sure why we have those to be honest. The word multivariate on its own doesn't mean much. It's always multivariate something. If this was left to me, I'd just redirect everything to the dabpage, and leave the dabpage at the base title. I'm contesting this, I don't think it's uncontroversial. Dr. Vogel (talk) 20:23, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Gross enrolment ratio → Gross enrollment ratio (currently a redirect back to Gross enrolment ratio) (move · discuss) – most sources use the double-l spelling. Roundish ⋆tc) 04:20, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Roundish: There has been previous moves regarding single and double, so this would be WP:PCM. Please click the discuss' link to open a formal WP:RM discussion, then remove this request from this listing. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 14:32, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- This seems to be an WP:ENGVAR matter. — BarrelProof (talk) 16:58, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Colombo International Airport, Ratmalana (currently a redirect to Ratmalana Airport) → Ratmalana International Airport (currently a redirect instead to Ratmalana Airport) (move · discuss) – Current title is not the most common one and it's also conflicting with the main international airport in Colombo 2001:878:0:E000:82:E2:A1:33 (talk) 08:44, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Although I agree with you that the title you're proposing makes more sense than the actual name of the airport, that's the name supported by all the sources. And the move you're referring to was done 10 years ago. Dr. Vogel (talk) 20:19, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- In addition, there was another move last year. This is a WP:PCM. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:35, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
