From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 2a00:23ee:11e0:97d9:b40a:4aff:fee4:8d53 (talk) at 08:42, 22 June 2023 (Uncontroversial technical requests). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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.

@Geysirhead: The article centers on the child sexual abuses. If you would like to have the subject moved, shouldn't a rewrite or expansion of the article comes first? – robertsky (talk) 10:48, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, you mean to change the article first and then move, not the other way around Geysirhead (talk) 19:47, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
yes – robertsky (talk) 17:29, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Slightly confused by this... If a change of scope is warranted, shouldn't the name change take place first? Otherwise you're writing stuff into the article that isn't supported by the title. Since we don't have an article covering sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers in general, and the current page is hardly overlong, I'd imagine this generalisation is fine to carry out now.  — Amakuru (talk) 05:54, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would think that move will be done the moment the additional content is written in. It seems that there is nothing is stopping @Geysirhead from moving the article by themselves technically? – robertsky (talk) 16:16, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Geysirhead Is anything stopping you from doing the move yourself? This isn't really the place to discuss content, that's better suited on the article's talk page. -Kj cheetham (talk) 22:02, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
