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.

Technical requests

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.
For the two North Korea-related requests here, note that the text in the articles often fails to reflect this hyphenation rule, either for the subjects themselves or for many other people who are mentioned. If this is intended to be a rule going forward, a great amount of cleanup for many articles will be needed. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:43, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's intended to be a rule, indeed, thus I'm asking for these pages (or atleast the one about Ko Yong-hui) to be moved. For this very reason, after discussions, Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il, Kim Jong-un and even ROK Park Chung-hee were recently moved to Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Un and Park Chung Hee. When regarding people from the DPRK, we should use their romanization and not the ROK one. MagnusRegnumAntichristiAdvenit (talk) 14:38, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

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

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
@Justinletterasst: Daniella Perkins appears to be her WP:COMMONNAME. It's the name under which she is credited in her work and by which she is referred in references. It's also the main name on her Youtube channel, so she doesn't seem to have stopped using Perkins. See WP:NAMECHANGES WP:SPNC. This would require a requested-move discussion (and some supporting evidence). SilverLocust 💬 21:07, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Daniella Taylor should probably be a redirect at least. -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:15, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • This should be contested as a move to CBS Weekend instead as a more proper disambiguation and the target being nigh confusing to spell out for an average person. We had the same issue with its previous branding name when it had an ellipsis with a non-sensical exclamation (which was eventually removed). The average reader should be put first over branding here (and protection should remain to carry it out). Also to be noted is that we don't usually source the site listed above as it rarely is reliable outside of set redesigns which are WP:OR in themselves (as networks rarely publicize branding changes for E/I blocks outside of press releases).

I hear you (and 100% agree with omitting "... it's epic!" from the previous name) but is there a policy on where WP draws the line on these disemvoweled cases? I doubt anyone other than hardcore Fall Out Boy fans are intentionally typing out "Thnks fr th Mmrs" when looking for that particular song, but there doesn't seem to have been any challenge to that title. Moreover there are a few other works or organizations with "WKND" as part of their names to represent "weekend", including (perhaps most pertinently to this scenario) wknd@stv. — stickguy (:^›)— || talk || 13:43, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Given this is WP:PCM, it should be taken to a full WP:RM discussion. -Kj cheetham (talk) 14:35, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Toptanazikov: The title you want to go back to was also an undiscussed move. It has not been the title for the past 5 years. The current title has been in place for the past 2.5 years and is closer to the original title, Romania Anti-Religious Campaign. This doesn't seem to fall within WP:RMUM/WP:TITLECHANGE. 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 💬 23:36, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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.
