Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

The article appears to be about the name change, with regard to WP:NAMECHANGE, we look for coverage about the organisation that uses the new name. Bobby Cohn (talk) 19:42, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ModernDaySlavery This is a WP:NATURAL disambiguation, which is generally preferred over WP:PARENTHETICAL and should thus probably remain as it is right now (or subject to a full RM discussion). It also looks like you tried to unilaterally move this a few days ago and it was reverted. Raladic (talk) 00:12, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ModernDaySlavery Not inherently uncontentious, so RMTR isn't the right place. Suggest a full WP:RM to seek other editors input for consensus. In fact it appears you tried to move these pages yourself a few days ago and it was reverted] due to the potentially contentious nature of an undiscussed move.

@Mach61 Based on the history of prior RMs at the title, it seems potentially contentious, as well as guidelines at WP:PLACEDAB mentioning that larger subdivisions or historical regions usually use parenthetical disambiguation. Recommend full RM. Raladic (talk) 04:48, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
