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: 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.

Étaín (Irish name) (currently a redirect to Éadaoin (name)) → Éadaoin (name) (move · discuss) – Éadaoin is the Modern Irish form of the name which is in common use. 2001:BB6:B84C:CF00:116:9D4D:3F1D:DA0D (talk) 00:23, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Muirenn (currently a redirect to Muireann) → Muireann (move · discuss) – Muireann is the Modern Irish form of the name which is in common use. 2001:BB6:B84C:CF00:116:9D4D:3F1D:DA0D (talk) 00:23, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adhamh (currently a redirect to Ádhamh) → Ádhamh (move · discuss) – all entries listed list to articles relating to an Ádhamh. 2001:BB6:B84C:CF00:116:9D4D:3F1D:DA0D (talk) 00:23, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aíbinn (currently a redirect to Aoibheann) → Aoibheann (move · discuss) – Aoibheann is the Modern Irish form of the name which is in common use. 2001:BB6:B84C:CF00:116:9D4D:3F1D:DA0D (talk) 00:23, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cure (Erra album) (currently a redirect to Cure (album)) → Cure (album) (move · discuss) – Only album with this exact name. Jax 0677 (talk) 23:28, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Świątek → Świątek (disambiguation) (move · discuss) – Świątek should be redirected to Iga Świątek, and therefore the current disambiguation renamed, as I believe the tennis player is the primary topic. See 1) WikiNav stats, which show almost 100% of outgoing clicks going to Iga Świątek, and 2) pageview analysis for all articles in the disambig, which consistently shows Iga Świątek as most viewed. Iiii I I I (talk) 07:21, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't a disambiguation page, it's page about the name. I doubt the tennis player's longterm significance exceeds that of the name itself, some of those listed being centuries old. There is also generally a very high bar for surname only redirects. — Amakuru (talk) 07:26, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I didn't notice it was a surname template and not a disambig template (or realize those two types are treated differently). Is there a project page that lists the criteria for surname only redirects? --Iiii I I I (talk) 07:59, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Pedro Morales Torres → Pedro Morales (football manager) (currently a redirect back to Pedro Morales Torres) (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME is "Pedro Morales" without maternal surname, dab as per WP:NCSP Ortizesp (talk) 02:52, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Grzegórzki (Kraków) (currently a redirect to Grzegórzki, Kraków) → Grzegórzki, Kraków (move · discuss) – disambiguate using comma not parentheses – dab page correctly lists it as Grzegórzki, Kraków Rodney Baggins (talk) 11:41, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bronowice (Kraków) (currently a redirect to Bronowice, Kraków) → Bronowice, Kraków (move · discuss) – disambiguate using comma not parentheses – dab page correctly lists it as Bronowice, Kraków Rodney Baggins (talk) 11:56, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Zwierzyniec (Kraków) (currently a redirect to Zwierzyniec, Kraków) → Zwierzyniec, Kraków (move · discuss) – disambiguate using comma not parentheses – dab page correctly lists it as Zwierzyniec, Kraków Rodney Baggins (talk) 11:56, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dębniki (Kraków) (currently a redirect to Dębniki, Kraków) → Dębniki, Kraków (move · discuss) – disambiguate using comma not parentheses – dab page correctly lists it as Dębniki, Kraków Rodney Baggins (talk) 11:59, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Swoszowice (Kraków) (currently a redirect to Swoszowice, Kraków) → Swoszowice, Kraków (move · discuss) – disambiguate using comma not parentheses – dab page correctly lists it as Swoszowice, Kraków Rodney Baggins (talk) 11:59, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bieńczyce (Kraków) (currently a redirect to Bieńczyce, Kraków) → Bieńczyce, Kraków (move · discuss) – disambiguate using comma not parentheses – dab page correctly lists it as Bieńczyce, Kraków Rodney Baggins (talk) 11:59, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
MTV Splitsvilla (Season 10) (currently a redirect to MTV Splitsvilla) → MTV Splitsvilla (season 10) (currently a redirect instead to MTV Splitsvilla) (move · discuss) – per WP:NCTV. Gonnym (talk) 18:44, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Synthetic Division (album) (currently a redirect to Synthetic Division) → Synthetic Division (move · discuss) – The parenthetical disambiguation is unnecessary per WP:DIFFCAPS. –CopperyMarrow15 (talk | edits) Feel free to ping me! 00:45, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Plebeian Council (currently a redirect to Plebeian council) → Plebeian council (move · discuss) – MOS:CAPS; consistency with Centuriate assembly and Tribal assembly. Ifly6 (talk) 00:56, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MXP: Most Extreme Primate (currently a redirect to MXP: Most Xtreme Primate) → MXP: Most Xtreme Primate (move · discuss) – Destination is the correct title of the film. —Matthew / (talk) 04:18, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @MatthewHoobin. After checking the page history, I noticed that both MXP: Most Extreme Primate and MXP: Most Xtreme Primate are redirecting to MVP: Most Valuable Primate.

I'm wondering why you created a new article at MXP: Most Extreme Primate and not MXP: Most Xtreme Primate (which matches the film title). Since both of these pages are redirects, you can absolutely create a new article at MXP: Most Xtreme Primate, and MXP: Most Extreme Primate will be modified to redirect to MXP: Most Xtreme Primate.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Legal status of fictional child pornography (currently a redirect to Legal status of fictional pornography depicting minors) → Legal status of fictional pornography depicting minors (move · discuss) – Undiscussed move from a long-standing title. User82828 (talk) 02:44, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Saguenay (Province of Canada electoral district, 1841) (currently a redirect to Saguenay (Province of Canada electoral district)) → Saguenay (Province of Canada electoral district) (move · discuss) – The proposed new name was the original name for this article. I changed it to the version with the year, because in 1853 a different Saguenay district was created, so I added the year to this article to disambiguate. However, after further research into the legislation from 1853 and 1855, I realised that the subsequent district was always treated as a joint district, with another district, so no need for disambiguation to this article. The name of the joint district will be the disambiguation. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 14:23, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contested technical requests

Corporate (disambiguation) → Corporate (currently a redirect instead to Corporation) (move · discuss) – per MOS:DABPAGENAME and no primary topic. Title moved by a currently-inactive user out of convenience. Intrisit (talk) 19:26, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This has been a primary redirect since 2006, and at first glance, a justified one. Not uncontroversial. 162 etc. (talk) 21:46, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What I Am → What I Am (Edie Brickell & New Bohemians song) (move · discuss) – This should be moved because another article of the same name, What I Am (Zayn song) exists, so there should be a disambiguator to mark the difference between the two articles. 18:31, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
Are you familiar with the concept of a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:25, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sinomeganeura (currently a redirect to Oligotypus) → Oligotypus (move · discuss) – Synonymized according to Li et al. (2013).[1] Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 08:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that one source says something doesn't make it an unquestionable fact. Has this synonymization been accepted by most relevant authorities? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 23:33, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Chen et al. (2021),[2] Wang et al. (2022)[3] Nel et al. (2024)[4] also lists that species as Oligotypus. Especially, Dong Ren is author of original description as Sinomeganeura[5] but agrees synonymize. Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 14:54, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Livvy (disambiguation) (currently a redirect to Olivia (name)) → Livvy (currently a redirect instead to Olivia (name)) (move · discuss) – Self-evident. (FYI, for some reason, another editor had redirected Livvy to Olivia (name).) Clarityfiend (talk) 20:07, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Everything on the disambiguation page is related to women named Olivia. The current redirect makes sense, and the Livvy (disambiguation) page should be merged. 162 etc. (talk) 04:31, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marina Oliver is an Olivia? Clarityfiend (talk) 21:15, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Livvy West probably is. That whole article has a tragic lack of cited sources. 162 etc. (talk) 21:19, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? Livvy West is a pen name. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:08, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I've read the article. I've added a mergeto tag. WP:RMT is not the place for this discussion. 162 etc. (talk) 19:48, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Innocent Victims → Civilian casualty (move · discuss) – I disambiguated the former Innocent Victims to Innocent Victims (statue). Now the bare Innocent Victims should redirect to a better target, Civilian casualty proposed. Assuming link targets might need to be changed so using this technical request rather than moving the redirect myself. PK-WIKI (talk) 03:31, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@PK-WIKI: I reverted that undiscussed move. Innocent Victims, capitalized and plural, is a proper name. There's no need for disambiguation, especially when innocent victims isn't an article. Note Innocent Victim is also a proper name without disambiguation. Station1 (talk) 03:53, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, innocent victims can refer to many things besides civilian casualties, for example victims of ordinary crime. (t · c) buidhe 18:36, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nishi-Shinjuku Station → Nishi-shinjuku Station (currently a redirect back to Nishi-Shinjuku Station) (move · discuss) – Official station capitalization as per the official Tokyo Metro website. HaapsaluYT (talk) 22:16, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Shinjuku is the name of a place, so wouldn't MOS:HYPHENCAPS suggest to use uppercase? Also, I notice that the sign for Hitotsubashi-Gakuen Station also uses a lowercase 'g'. There may be other cases like these, and they should be consistent. On the other hand, there is Higashi-shinjuku Station. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:43, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Shinjuku is the name of a place, but so is Nishi-Shinjuku (yes it uses uppercase capitalization). This is a source of inconsistency across Japanese articles. See Shakujii-kōen Station vs Hitotsubashi-Gakuen Station vs Ōizumi-gakuen Station for this issue (all three should ideally be lowercase). Additionally see Higashikurume, Tokyo vs Higashi-Kurume Station, which demonstrates how location names are romanized differently by source. Higashi-shinjuku Station is correct lowercase because it uses official capitalization as per the Tokyo Metro website. HaapsaluYT (talk) 17:50, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Milan Smith → Milan D. Smith, Jr. (currently a redirect back to Milan Smith) (move · discuss) – Judge Smith's full name is Milan D. Smith, Jr., as opposed to just Milan Smith. Adg135cg (talk) 18:00, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COMMONNAME may be more relevant here, rather than his full name. I see him named three different ways in various reliable sources: Milan Smith; Milan D. Smith; and Milan D. Smith, Jr. If journalists use the basic "Milan Smith" at least part of the time, there seems to be no harm with using that for his article title here. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:36, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to think of him as "Milan Smith", but that may be because I'd seen this Wikipedia article. @Adg135cg: We don't necessarily go by "full name" (like John G. Roberts, Jr.) unless that is the most common name in independent, reliable sources or unless there is a need to distinguish this article from another article about a person of the same name. This technical request has been contested. As such, 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 💬 11:35, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Space One Kairos: Orbital Launch Concept 2024 (currently a redirect to Space One KAIROS) → 13 March 2024 inaugural launch of Space One KAIROS (move · discuss) – WP:ARTICLETITLES confusing title does not explain content of article. The article covers the inaugural launch of this rocket, so should say so in the title -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 23:54, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've instead WP:BLARred this (news) article, but you can request this move again if someone (other than a WP:LOUTSOCK of the blocked creator) unblanks it. SilverLocust 💬 01:25, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Blue Hill (restaurant) → Family Meal at Blue Hill (currently a redirect back to Blue Hill (restaurant)) (move · discuss) – The restaurant was been renamed in 2021. Katherinezhang000 16:09, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

— Katherinezhang000 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 22:44, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd ideally like to see a bit more usage of the new name in reliable souces, to satisfy the WP:NAMECHANGES requirements... almost all sourcing seems to be under the simple Blue Hills name as far as I can tell, and the proposed name also sounds like a bit of a catchy trade name too... — Amakuru (talk) 11:46, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I too strongly suspect the patrons and others don't call it by the suggested sloganish name. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 20:18, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps Blue Hill New York, although slightly ambiguous with both Blue Hill (New York) and Blue Hill at Stone Barns (which is also in New York). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 23:38, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

National Intelligence Directorate (Pakistan) (currently a redirect to National Intelligence Coordination Committee (Pakistan)) → National Intelligence Coordination Committee (Pakistan) (move · discuss) – The national intelligence directorate was never actually created. The latest body established in Pakistan for this is the NICC (National Intelligence Coordination Committee) Link 1 Link 2 Wikibear47 (talk) 05:10, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wargasm (band) (currently a redirect to Wargasm) → Wargasm (move · discuss) – Wargasm (video game) was the original Wargasm page but switching it to the band as they are way more relevant George (talk) 04:10, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've changed the base page to a disambiguation for now, but not sure I'd support a full switch of primary topic. The game seems like it's reasonably notable too. — Amakuru (talk) 07:41, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A primary topic swap is by definition not uncontroversial. WP:NOPRIMARY is fine. 162 etc. (talk) 21:48, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See the 162 English Dictionary
controversial (adj.)
1. giving rise or likely to give rise to public disagreement;
2. of or relating to moving an article to a title recently associated with a different article.

For my part, I'd just say they are almost always potentially controversial.

Finland–NATO relations → Finland in NATO (currently a redirect back to Finland–NATO relations) (move · discuss) – standardize with other member countries e.g. Canada in NATO RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 20:39, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is controversial: see Talk:Croatia–NATO relations#Requested move 4 April 2023. The recent move of Sweden–NATO relations to Sweden in NATO should probably be reverted. Malerisch (talk) 04:20, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh wow! I was unaware of that RM…since almost anyone can revert an undiscussed move I think I’ll wait for someone to come along…although I think given that almost a year has passed since then a new RM targeting “_ and NATO” would be in order.
