Appearance
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:..."
If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

Contested technical requests
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
- Race (human classification) (currently a redirect to Race (human categorization)) → Race (human categorization) (move · discuss) – Reverse undiscussed move (22 August) with a contextually invalid rationale ("More precise title" [1]). The name Race (human categorization) was chosen at a full RM on 27 July 2015 [2], for the very reason that "classification" was inappropriately precise, and did not address the full scope of the article; it implies systemic classification which is often not evident. If someone wants to move it back to Race (human classification), they can open an RM about it, if they have a new argument to present that wasn't already covered in the last RM. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 21:44, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
