Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests
The discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. If any of the following apply to a desired move, treat it as potentially controversial:
- There is an existing article (not just a redirect) at the target title;
- There has been any past debate about the best title for the page;
- Someone could reasonably disagree with the move.
If a desired move is uncontroversial and technical in nature (e.g. spelling), please feel free to move the page yourself. If the page has recently been moved without discussion, you may revert the move and initiate a discussion on its talk page. In either case, if you are unable to complete the move, request it below.
- To list a technical request, go to the bottom of this section that you are reading right now; edit the subsection Uncontroversial technical requests; insert the following code at the top:
{{subst:RMassist|<!--old page name, without brackets-->|<!--requested name, without brackets-->|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 and do not modify it. Append a new note saying "Moved by..." and sign with ~~~~.
- If your technical request is contested by another editor, please remove it from the contested technical requests section and follow the instructions at Requesting potentially controversial moves. The fastest and easiest way to do this is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.
- Alternatively, if the only obstacle to an uncontroversial move is another page in the way, you can ask for the deletion of the other page. This may apply, for example, if the other page is currently a redirect to the article to be moved, a redirect with no incoming links, or an unnecessary disambiguation page with a minor edit history. To request the other page be deleted, add the following code to the top of the page that is in the way:
{{db-move|<!--page to be moved here-->|<!--reason for move-->}}
- This will list the undesired page for deletion under criterion for speedy deletion G6. If the page is a redirect, place the code above the redirection. For a list of articles being considered for uncontroversial speedy deletion, see Category:Candidates for uncontroversial speedy deletion.
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Do-it-yourself_biology → Biohacking (move · discuss) – The movement, do it yourself biology is out of date and since at least 2013 has been replaced by the term biohacking(Google trends reference(https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=DIY%20bio%2C%20biohacking%2C%20%2Fm%2F05zn9vc&cmpt=q&tz=Etc%2FGMT%2B7). Organizations like motherboard even use the tag(http://motherboard.vice.com/tag/biohacking). Though Biohacking can refer to body modification and genetic engineering of organisms. The fields are coalescing to allow a broad but connected subject not necessarily requiring two different pages. 2602:306:BC06:F520:F8E6:B024:B7B8:74EC (talk) 15:44, 17 June 2016 (UTC) – 2602:306:BC06:F520:F8E6:B024:B7B8:74EC (talk) 15:44, 17 June 2016 (UTC) 2602:306:BC06:F520:F8E6:B024:B7B8:74EC (talk) 15:44, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
- Anglian Home Improvement (currently a redirect to Anglian Home Improvements) → Anglian Home Improvements (move · discuss) – Anglian Windows was a better-sourced version of Anglian Home Improvements, which was a COI fork created when the AFC for AW failed. However, the latter is the COMMONNAME. I tried to redirect and made a typo, but I think I can't move over the redirect anyway.
