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 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: 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 this section if you want to move a request from Uncontroversial to Contested.

Uncontroversial technical requests

• Badal Sarkar (currently a redirect to Badal Sircar) → Badal Sircar (move · discuss) – Per Talk:Badal Sarkar#Requested move 31 October 2021. VR _talk 06:02, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

• Randal Plunkett → Randal Edward Sherborne Plunkett (move · discuss) – Randal Edward Sherborne Plunkett was previously moved to Randal Plunkett, with a redirect left behind; now there are at least two other Randal Plunketts (Randal Plunkett, 19th Baron of Dunsany / Randal Plunkett, 21st Baron of Dunsany), at least one more notable than this - so Randal Plunkett needs to be freed to be a disambiguation page, linking to all three (and free to handle other Randal or Randall Plunketts which might arise later - two other Lords Dunsany were Randall, and others of that name have lived or live) SeoR (talk) 00:03, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Administrator needed

Edit this section if a request requires an administrator (e.g., because the page to be moved is move-protected or the target is creation-protected). Place the request in another section if it only requires a page mover.

Contested technical requests

• Missouri (band) → Missouri (rock band) (currently a redirect back to Missouri (band)) (move · discuss) – WP:AT/WP:PRECISE ambiguous disambiguation is a bad idea. This title should point to Missouri (disambiguation). There is also the Missouri tribe, an American Indian band. -- 65.92.246.43 (talk) 03:21, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

  Band and tribe are not synonymous. Station1 (talk) 04:17, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
