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

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

• Pilkington (ancient township) → Pilkington, Greater Manchester (move · discuss) – Even former places are normally disambiguated by the current county similar to Category:Former civil parishes in England rather than the generic class per WP:PLACEDAB unless local disambiguation like Corfe Castle (village) or Scotforth (parish) is needed. In any case the main thing Pilkington was was a parish rather than township even if the parish didn't function. Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:31, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
  • I'm dubious this is properly a "technical request", but I do support it. Apart from other issues, "ancient" is clearly the wrong word. Johnbod (talk) 22:56, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
• Minerva armored car → Minerva armoured car (currently a redirect back to Minerva armored car) (move · discuss) – British English title to match the article style on this European vehicle. Dicklyon (talk) 22:23, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
• ZenBook → Asus Zenbook (currently a redirect back to ZenBook) (move · discuss) – Branding as per logo shown has 'Asus' prefix and the 'B' is not uppercase Sceeegt (talk) 23:00, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Contested technical requests

• Deadair Records → DeadAir Records (currently a redirect back to Deadair Records) (move · discuss) – camel case title, similar to eBay – MW_(t•c) 00:43, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

  This has been nominated for deletion, so probably any potential move should be deferred until that process finishes. There isn't a lot of sourcing on this anyway so hard to be sure what the most common capitalisation in sources is.  — Amakuru (talk) 07:12, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

• LGBTQ in Chile → LGBTQ in Chile (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to LGBTQ in Chile) (move · discuss) – See Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2024_September_26#LGBT_in_the_USA and Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 September 26#LGBT in Mexico. After moving, retarget the appropriate redirects. --MikutoH ^talk! 22:22, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

@MikutoH All of these have been contentious, so would this one. Moving to contested. What is the plan for the page if this move were carried out? By the looks of it, there are currently 3 articles on the DAB page, is anyone primary? Raladic (talk) 00:33, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

@Raladic other reasons to: the requester is the creator; LGBT in Chile was recently moved, now it's the primary topic (hadn't you looked at the Mexico case?), so if you want to keep, start an RfD on it. --MikutoH ^talk! 00:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

I refer to the contentious nature of all these "LGBTQ in" as non-DAB rather than specific topics. Like Talk:LGBT_history_in_Georgia#Proposed_merge_of_LGBT_rights_in_Georgia_into_LGBT_history_in_Georgia.

So by the nature of that one having been contentious, I don't know how LGBTQ in Chile would be less contentious.

It looks like the actual WP:BROADCONCEPT article topic article is at "LGBTQ topics in Chile", so there doesn't seem to be a need to move the current DAB page of LGBTQ in Chile to the parenthetical, since the words of the are different. Raladic (talk) 00:31, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

As was pointed out already in some of these discussions by other editors, rather than piecemealing all these articles and the treatment being different for many of them, this should be a central RfC at like Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBTQ+ studies for a consistent naming approach for what a broad-concept article for LGBTQ topics in X should be and then we should address this in one go, rather than some of these being RMs, some RM/TR and some RfD - there is clearly something broken process wise here.

• A Dog of Flanders (1959 film) → A Dog of Flanders (1960 film) (currently a redirect back to A Dog of Flanders (1959 film)) (move · discuss) – Everything in the article itself including categories, as well as other sites like IMDB, indicate this is a 1960 film. It's unclear why it would be recognized as a 1959 film. 96.253.0.195 (talk) 08:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

This was moved from the 1960 title to the 1959 title in 2016 by @User:Roman Spinner, with the reason "reviewed in December 1959 by Variety (magazine), The Hollywood Reporter, Film Daily and BoxOffice (magazine); filmed in June--July 1959". It seems the move was undiscussed at the time. I would appreciate if this could be discussed before moving it again. Toadspike [Talk] 09:21, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

The relevant guideline is WP:PFILM, which says "add the year of its first verifiable release (including film festival screenings)." I am not sure how to determine this, but that would be an appropriate topic for a requested move. Toadspike [Talk] 09:59, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
