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

• Mummers play (currently a redirect to Mummers' play) → Mummers' play (move · discuss) – correct punctuation, to match the article's text Hairy Dude (talk) 16:21, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

• Template:User WikiProject American television (currently a redirect to Template:User American television task force) → Template:User American television task force (move · discuss) – Not a WikiProject anymore. Gonnym (talk) 14:48, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

• Silmaril (currently a redirect to Silmarils) → Silmarils (move · discuss) – should be plural, those are three gems, never discussed as singular entity _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:34, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

• Senior Wrangler (University of Cambridge) (currently a redirect to Senior Wrangler) → Senior Wrangler (move · discuss) – Disambiguation not required. 142.160.131.220 (talk) 04:34, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

• Viktor Kuznetsov (footballer, born 1949) (currently a redirect to Viktor Kuznetsov (footballer)) → Viktor Kuznetsov (footballer) (move · discuss) – Viktor Kuznetsov (footballer) is a redirect to disambiguation page Viktor Kuznetsov which now has only one footballer on it. Geregen2 (talk) 03:34, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

• William Hugh Clifford Frend (currently a redirect to W. H. C. Frend) → W. H. C. Frend (move · discuss) – Per WP:COMMONNAME. 142.160.131.220 (talk) 02:08, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

• Nellie Crockett (Buy-Boat) (currently a redirect to Nellie Crockett) → Nellie Crockett (move · discuss) – There is no need to disambiguate this boat, which happens to be a wooden oyster buy-boat, from any other notable craft or person sharing the same name.

Contested technical requests

• Captain Marvel → Captain Marvel (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to Captain Marvel) (move · discuss) – This page is a disambiguation page, yet it is named just "Captain Marvel" and "Captain Marvel (disambiguation)" redirects to it. It should be the other way around. DemonDays64 (talk) 16:33, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

• No, that's correct. "X" is never supposed to redirect to "X (disambiguation)". The name of a disambiguation page only has "(disambiguation)" after it if there is a primary topic. See WP:DABNAME. Hut 8.5 18:48, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
