Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests
Appearance
The discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. If any of the following apply to a desired move, treat it as potentially controversial:
- There is an existing article (not just a redirect) at the target title
- There has been any past debate about the best title for the page
- Someone could reasonably disagree with the move.
If a desired move is uncontroversial and technical in nature (e.g. spelling and capitalization), please feel free to move the page yourself. If the page has recently been moved without discussion, you may revert the move and initiate a discussion on its talk page. In either case, if you are unable to complete/revert the move, request it below.
- To list a technical request add the following code at the top of the sub-section Uncontroversial technical requests below:
{{subst:RMassist|<!--old page name, without brackets-->|<!--requested name, without brackets-->|<!--reason for move-->}}
- This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Do not edit the article's talk page.
- If you object to a proposal listed in Uncontroversial technical requests, please move it to the Contested technical requests section below.
- If your technical request is contested by another editor, remove the request from the Contested technical requests section and follow the instructions at Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.
- Alternatively, if the only obstacle to a technical move is another page in the way, you can request the other page be deleted. This applies for example if the the other page is a redirect to the current title of the article to be moved, a redirect with no incoming links, or an unnecessary disambiguation page with a minor edit history. If it has a single history line, see WP:Move over redirect instead. To request the other page be deleted, add the following code to the top of the page that is in the way:
{{db-move|<!--page to be moved here-->|<!--reason for move-->}}
- This will list the undesired page for deletion under criterion for speedy deletion G6. If the page is a redirect, place the code above the redirection. For a list of articles being considered for uncontroversial speedy deletion, see Category:Candidates for uncontroversial speedy deletion.
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Unified PSI–PSDI → Unified Socialist Party (Italy) (move) (discuss) – There is the consensus to move the page – Maremmano (talk) 20:23, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- Move That Body (song) → Move That Body (Nelly song) (move) (discuss) – The qualifier "song" is insufficient for disambiguation because Move That Body is also a song. – EALacey (talk) 19:43, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: If this move is performed, the edit history of Move That Body (Nelly song) will need to be moved elsewhere first per WP:A. The redirect used to be an article, and thus, has a rather expansive edit history. Steel1943 (talk) 20:04, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- 2000–09 in fashion → 2000s in fashion (move) (discuss) – Extremely popular naming convention. "2000s" seems to refer to the decade universally. 2000–09 (or 2000-2009) brings up almost nothing while 2000s brings up tons of subjects. – Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)[1] 19:42, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- 1900s in fashion → 1900s in fashion (move) (discuss) – Likewise, 1900s seems to refer to the decade and not the century. – Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)[1] 19:42, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: This move request is malformed: the request, as it stands, is asking to move the the target page back to itself. I believe the proposer, Brightgalrs, meant to request 1900–09 in fashion be moved to 1900s in fashion. Steel1943 (talk) 20:08, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- LANDesk → LANDESK (move) (discuss) – New capitalization due to rebranding – 71.204.133.119 (talk) 18:39, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
