Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

Shortcuts

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.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Otocephala → Clupeomorpha (move · discuss) – This is the name used for this clade in tfe 5th edition of Fishes of the World which WP:FISHES uses for taxa above the level of order. Quetzal1964 (talk) 18:08, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keiki-dō → Keiki Prefecture (currently a redirect back to Keiki-dō) (move · discuss) – No other prefectures in Category:Prefectures of Japan use "-dō" seefooddiet (talk) 23:11, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't it be province? – robertsky (talk) 04:52, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Lampad → Lampades (currently a redirect back to Lampad) (move · discuss) – These figures are only ever referred to as a group (the singular "Lampad" is never used), so the page should not be at "Lampad". They are referred to as "Lampades" rather than "Lampads" in pretty much all of the secondary sources which mention them as far as I can tell [1][2][3][4] (plus Serafini's La dea Hecate, not online); the only source with "Lampads" I can find is [5]. This title would also be a more reflection of the Greek (Λαμπάδες). Michael Aurel (talk) 01:18, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Butyrate-fermentation (currently a redirect to Butyrate fermentation) → Butyrate fermentation (move · discuss) – Unable to create page with space between words had to add hyphen to get published, hyphen needs to be removed should be "Butyrate fermentation" instead. [[User:

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

Lockerbie (miniseries) (currently a redirect to Lockerbie (TV serial)) → Lockerbie (TV series) (currently a redirect instead to Lockerbie (disambiguation)) (move · discuss) – Two telly dramas are being released in short space of each other, one has the byline 'search for truth,' the other has been mistakenly placed as a 'miniseries.' TV series is the correct format backed by references on page Halbared (talk) 15:04, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:NCTV, this disambiguation is correct for a six-part limited series. The "TV series" page should actually redirect to the Lockerbie disambiguation page. -- Wikipedical (talk) 18:50, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the UK, one year programmes (one series) are referred to as serials, dramas, or just series. From two episodes up to six or whathaveyou. The references on page all refer to Lockerbie as the new drama or series.Halbared (talk) 09:52, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Lockerbie (TV serial)" would be an uncontested alternative. -- Wikipedical (talk) 18:25, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(TV serial) is not one of the tags proposed by WP:NCTV. 162 etc. (talk) 20:32, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Would also propose "Lockerbie (serial)" then. It's true, there was no stated consensus at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television)/Archive 17#RFC: Should we use "(serial)" or "(TV serial)"?, though "(TV serial)" is used more frequently in practice for British miniseries/limited series. Feel free to open a requested move discussion if you'd like. -- Wikipedical (talk) 21:24, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thank you WIkipedical.Halbared (talk) 17:39, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did relist it above, but it was removed as a duplicate.Halbared (talk) 21:45, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sri Lankan Tamils → Eelam Tamils (currently a redirect back to Sri Lankan Tamils) (move · discuss) – It is the common name used for referring this ethnolinguistic group and It is also how they identify themselves with. Yarohj (talk) 13:52, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Yarohj If you read the discussion at Talk:Sri Lankan Tamils#RfC about inclusion of additional name for an ethnic group, while there was consensus for including the term in the article, there did not seem to be consensus that the article should be moved. You'd need to open a move discussion by clicking the "discuss" link in your request above. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 15:58, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Coaster → Coaster (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to Coaster) (move · discuss) – the primary topic is now incorrectly and confusingly under the title "trivet", which doesn't even mean "coaster" in American English Espoo (talk) 15:48, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Pot coaster (or trivet) is not even close to being the primary topic (in terms of pageviews) of the term "coaster": current massviews, trivet prior to move RachelTensions (talk) 18:34, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global Savings Group → Atolls (currently a redirect instead to Atoll) (move · discuss) – The company Global Savings Group rebranded to Atolls in September 2024. 212.123.210.42 (talk) 16:08, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:NAMECHANGES, we need some evidence that third-party reliable sources are using the new name, not just that it's an internal rebrand... — Amakuru (talk) 16:14, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And in any case, Atolls is currently a redirect to atoll and it's questionable whether the company would be the primary topic for the word. Station1 (talk) 17:42, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is absolutely impossible that the company is the primary topic. 162 etc. (talk) 20:33, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, what about moving it to Atolls (company) or something similar? 212.123.210.42 (talk) 08:20, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some:

Strong oppose speedy move I cannot see this contesting for primarity anytime soon -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 20:47, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm also opposing based on the sources, Crunchbase is deprecated, bloomberg profiles are essentially WP:PRIMARY and the other two are startup-focused (likely blogs, but I'm behind a network filter at the moment so I can't verify, but I'm going to take a wild guess that they aren't credible).

List of municipalities in Tamil Nadu → List of urban local bodies in Tamil Nadu (currently a redirect back to List of municipalities in Tamil Nadu) (move · discuss) – The page was repeatedly moved by a user without any discussion. The page lists all the urban local bodies and not the municipalities alone and the previous title as such was as such correct. M² (talk) 05:03, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This page has a history of undiscussed moves:
- 16 April 2023 - created as "List of municipalities in Tamil Nadu"
- 24 May 2024 - moved to "List of urban local bodies in Tamil Nadu"
- 12 November 2024 - moved to "List of Municipality in Tamil Nadu"
- 12 November 2024 - moved to "List of Municipalities in Tamil Nadu"
- 12 November 2024 - moved (back) to "List of municipalities in Tamil Nadu"
So I'm inclined to say the current name, which is also the original name, is the most stable status quo given that the first move was less than 6 months ago. Probably an RM is needed to sort things out anyway. — Amakuru (talk) 20:28, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Calling All Angels → Calling All Angels (Train song) (move · discuss) – There are two other songs with articles on the page. JE98 (talk) 21:06, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the pageviews of each song by this name, I think there's a plausible claim that the Train song is the primary topic for "Calling All Angels". This proposal would probably be better served by a full RM than a technical move. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 22:16, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Calling All Angels (disambiguation) → Calling All Angels (move · discuss) – Following the move above, this disambiguation page needs to be moved to its main space. JE98 (talk) 21:06, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This move would be correct if the Train song is moved away from the primary title, but since I'm contesting that move, that ends up requiring me to contest this as well. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 22:16, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present) → Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–2024) (currently a redirect back to Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present)) (move) – There seems to be consensus at Talk:Israel–Hezbollah_conflict_(2023–present)#Options that the scope of this article should be until Sep 30, 2024. No one has contested it thus far. However, if anyone has any objections, let me know and I will start a RfC to discuss this. VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 00:00, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This may need discussion on the article's talk page. Kolano123 (talk) 17:03, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kolano123, there was a discussion here: Talk:Israel–Hezbollah_conflict_(2023–present)#Options. Do you think this was sufficient? VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 22:22, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vice regent I'm just letting you know that moving it to the title you propose it to be moved to (Israel-Hezbollah conflict (2023-2024)) may need discussion on the article's talk page. Kolano123 (talk) 07:49, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
