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.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

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

• Umm al-Qura Mosque → Umm al-Ma'arik Mosque (currently a redirect back to Umm al-Qura Mosque) (move · discuss) – The user Hashim-afc moved this article without any disucssion, claiming "Umm al-Ma'arik is the old name. Umm al-Qura is both the official current name and WP:POPULARNAME", which doesn't exist. OsamusBLQ (talk) 23:02, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Contested technical requests

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

• New Parliament House, New Delhi (currently a redirect to Parliament House, New Delhi) → Parliament House, New Delhi (move · discuss) – A page with name Old Parliament House, New Delhi exists, when the New Parliament house is the present Parliament house which is being used as the Parliament of India, the usage of New may be removed as it is current one anyways and an old parliament house article exists to indicate that it is the old one.

  @Thewikizoomer: The article was recently moved without discussion to the title you propose (except with lowercase "house"), but the move was reverted by another editor who disagreed. There was also a requested move in May. And Parliament House, New Delhi already exists as an article for the previous building, so the proposal would also need to include a request to move that, such as to Old Parliament House, New Delhi. This move is potentially controversial, so it would require a requested-move discussion, which you can begin by clicking "discuss" on your request. You can remove this request after opening a discussion (or if you do not want to continue). SilverLocust 💬 20:37, 18 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.
