Uncontroversial technical requests
- Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game (currently a redirect to Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game) → Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game (move · discuss) – Canonical form of name. Hlingler (talk) 03:37, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
- China Social Sciences Publishing House (currently a redirect to China Social Sciences Press) → China Social Sciences Press (move · discuss) – move over redirect of self-identified name fgnievinski (talk) 03:16, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
- Template:Association football club rivalries in Europe → Template:European club football rivalries (move · discuss) – To aid search, make navbox page name match its title. Within Europe, "football" (with variations in spelling in many languages) primarily means association football (soccer), so "association" is redundant. 85.238.91.38 (talk) 03:01, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
- Bhutan War (currently a redirect to Duar War) → Duar War (move · discuss) – per COMMONNAME. Most sources describe it as Duar War and not Bhutan War. TryKid [dubious – discuss] 01:12, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
