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.

Uncontroversial technical requests

edit
Most requests should be placed below this heading.
I wonder if Ranger tab should be moved instead so both words are capitalized in that title, because both of these military awards appear to be proper terms in which title case should be used. Also, both articles are currently written as if that is the case, with the title at the top of the Ranger tab article being the only exception. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 20:05, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for looking at this, Doomsdayer. When I first stumbled across this, I was irritiated by the "Tab" on these things, as it seemed another case of overcapitalization, but I looked around to see if it wasn't exactly that: a special, proper noun. Tabs of the United States Army used (already, before I started standardising the texts) a mixture. There was some inconclusive mention on the Talk of that article, but otherwise, I haven't found any discussion, just a bit of sloppiness.
For me, the deciding factor (apart from my understanding of English rules) was the use by the Army itself in the Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia document I linked to. I figure, if anybody can be expected to inappropriately overcapitalize words, it'd be the US military, but they consistently downcase not just "the tab" but "the airborne tab", e.g., at p.2 (even "airborne" is lowercase there). Also I find at [7] ("...awarded the Governor's Dozen tab...") and [8] (PDF's p.11, 4th-last paragraph "arctic tab").
Unfortunately, I've already gone ahead and made changes to article text as well as redirects (where I could) so as to unify the mix of usages contrary to Army/military usage. I didn't mean to throw a WP:FAIT situation at you, so I've stopped to see what you decide. If you think these changes might, in fact, be controversial, I can open up discussions on the (I think) four pages I've tweaked. If folks don't like what I've done, I'll go around with my reverting hat on (I mean my Reverting Hat). — JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 21:06, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

edit
If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

edit
Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
@Jkasutoro: The bracketed dab seems to be the standardised dab if you looked through Category:Mountains_of_Japan_by_prefecture. I have reverted your move back to the bracketed version as it is a mispelling as well. Do open a move discussion if you wish to update the disambiguator for all mountain dabs. – robertsky (talk) 09:34, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hollywood blacklist → Hollywood Blacklisting (move · discuss) – First, the word "blacklist" should be capitalized. Second, the article is not merely a list of those who were blacklisted, but rather a documentation of the entire phenomenon. Thus, it should be named "Hollywood Blacklisting", as it refers to the lead up, diedown, and specific people and grander background politics involved.

    @Narfhead: Per MOS:CAPS, blacklist would be capitalized here if consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of sources. Google Ngrams shows that "Hollywood blacklist" is instead the most common form. I also don't see how adding -ing would expand the scope of the article. If you would like to request this move anyway, you can begin a requested-move discussion by clicking "discuss" on your request. You can remove this request after opening a discussion (or if you do not want to continue). SilverLocust 💬 14:55, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with this request. In addition to the inappropriate capital B, using "blacklisting" in the title would indicate a process while the article is currently written as a description of the actual "blacklist" document(s). The fact that putting people in this document was a "phenomenon" can go without saying. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:04, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with SilverLocust. This should be dealt with through a requested move and I would oppose. Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 23:58, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@KingArti Since the title has been contested, this will require a full move request. Please click on the "discuss" link in your request above to start that process. --Ahecht (TALK
