Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

Welcome to Requested moves/Technical requests

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request a technical move 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 "This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

---

If you are here because you want an experienced editor to approve of your new article or proposed rename, you are in the wrong place.

• Make sure you really need technical assistance before making a request here. Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Even if the target page exists, you can sometimes move the page normally if the target is a redirect back to the source page and has 1 revision.
• If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please use the submission wizard to submit your draft or user sandbox page for review at Articles for creation instead of listing it here.
• If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.

To list a technical request: the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection or click the big blue button 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. Do not edit the article's talk page, just click the button below.

Request uncontroversial move

To request a reversion of a recent undiscussed move: Review the guidelines at WP:RMUM of whether a reversion of an undiscussed move qualifies as uncontroversial and if so, the Requests to revert undiscussed moves subsection or click the big blue button 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}}

Request undiscussed-move reversion

Note that in some cases, clerks, such as administrators or page movers may determine that your request for a reversion does not pass the criteria and may move the request to the contested section or open a formal requested move discussion for potentially controversial moves on your behalf.

• 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. A bot will automatically remove contested requests after 72 hours of inactivity.

Administration needed

If your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators).

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed in this section.

• Quảng Khê, Lâm Đồng → Quảng KhêQuảng Khê (currently a redirect back to Quảng Khê, Lâm Đồng) (move · discuss) – shortened name Jjidomepd (talk) 02:15, 3 September 2026 (UTC)
• Great National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Romania → Great National Assembly (Romania)Great National Assembly (Romania) (currently a redirect back to Great National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Romania) (move · discuss) – Per WP:COMMONNAME: "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's official name as an article title". Moreover the new title is inaccurate, as Communist Romania was not always called the Socialist Republic of Romania. Glide08 (talk) 14:21, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

In comparison with other articles collected at Great National Assembly, the best title for this article might be Great National Assembly of Romania (also an existing redirect that could be swapped). Otherwise the request is a good one. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:14, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

• 200-metre individual medley → 200 metres individual medley200 metres individual medley (currently a redirect back to 200-metre individual medley) (move · discuss) – standard naming convention for articles of the same type. e.g 50 metres freestyle Maelstrom2 (talk) 04:44, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

  I just looked at the first ref, at random, and it used the singular so not sure if this is uncontroversial. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 14:24, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

Also, if you peruse Category:Medley swimming and related categories, there is a fair amount of inconsistency in singluar vs. plural in the article titles. Note the hyphens too, or lack thereof. Something bigger may need to be fixed here, far beyond this one article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:14, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

• Basima → Basima Tehsil (move · discuss) – Basima is a Tehsil in balochistan Safeer Zaman (talk) 08:03, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
• Washington and Lee High School → Westmoreland High School (Virginia)Westmoreland High School (Virginia) (currently a redirect instead to Westmoreland High School (Montross, Virginia)) (move · discuss) – high school was renamed four years ago, see https://www.wmlcps.org/news/older_news_archive/principals_announced_for_2022-23_school_year Sswonk (talk) 20:55, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

The school was replaced in 2022 by a new, renamed school, renamed to disassociate it from Robert E. Lee after a petition drive and other efforts to remove Confederate memorials. Also see: the petition to rename the school can be found on the change.org website, the page is westmoreland-county-school-board-rename-washington-lee-high-school-in-montross-va. Also, . It is unfortunate the article title has remained unchanged for four years. I am asking for a page mover / history merger to complete the change as requested.

• Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos → Julio Martínez Prádanos National StadiumJulio Martínez Prádanos National Stadium (currently a redirect back to Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos) (move · discuss) – title should be in English.

• Starr Girl → StarrgirlStarrgirl (currently a redirect back to Starr Girl) (move · discuss) – The person who created the article spelled the album name wrong; no reason to change the spelling plus I don't see it spelled like that anywhere else but Wikipedia. I can't do it myself because it'll just redirect. OsigbemheEJB (talk) 02:28, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

• Cross Ratio Entertainment (record label) → Cross Ratio Entertainment (move · discuss) – disambiguation not needed; deleted a few times over the years at correct title, most recently following a 2021 AFD. ~2026-46945-83 (talk) 13:53, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

@~2026-46945-83 This article has already been subject to a previous deletion discussion. There is already a more developed article in the draftspace at Draft:Cross Ratio Entertainment. Given this, and that this has previously been prematurely moved into the mainspace, I would suggest making any improvements in the draft article instead and would advise abiding by the AfC submission process. Red Shogun412 (talk • contribs) 14:08, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

Yes I did mention above that it's been deleted a few times, including at AFD. That's precisely why the parenthesised disambiguation should be removed: this new one, created today, feels rather like an attempted end run around the previous AFD and around the declines at the correctly titled draft. I don't think the draft can be improved sufficiently to meet WP:CORP, so am requesting that the redundant dab suffix be removed to clarify the deletion history. Thanks, ~2026-46945-83 (talk) 15:26, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

If it's trying to get around a previous deletion decision, it might be better to delete it where it is rather than to move it to a better title. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:39, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

• William DuBois (architect) → William Dubois (architect)William Dubois (architect) (currently a redirect back to William DuBois (architect)) (move · discuss) – Majority of sources show lower-case 'b'. McGhiever (talk) 16:46, 29 August 2026 (UTC)

There is a lot of confusion over the architect's name, with some reliable sources using the lower-case "b" and others using "B", and I'm not sure that the requester can make a statement about a majority of sources. The article's talk page reflects this confusion, and someone also mentioned that he used various middle initials too. His name is even inconsistent within Wikipedia among articles about his buildings, such as Dubois Block which uses both versions of the B in just three sentences. Federal Office Building (Cheyenne, Wyoming) uses the lower case but Morton Mansion (Douglas, Wyoming) uses upper case (among many others). This needs to be straightened out and then alot of other articles need to be fixed. If anyone can dig up official birth or death certificates, that would certainly help. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:14, 29 August 2026 (UTC)

@McGhiever Not uncontroversial per Doomsdayer's comment; should go through a full RM. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 23:57, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

Beyond a mere discussion about whether or not to move the article title, anyone knowledgeable should contribute to a bigger discussion of how the man's name was spelled in the first place, and what to do if there is no clear consensus due to inconsistent period sources. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:35, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

• Rainbow Six Tactics → Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six TacticsTom Clancy's Rainbow Six Tactics (currently a redirect back to Rainbow Six Tactics) (move · discuss) – I do not necessarily disagree with the title move here, but I think it was a controversial change because literally all other games in the series keep the "Tom Clancy's" branding and this move meant that it had deviated from the conventional naming pattern (WP:TITLECON). I think a move discussion is necessary. OceanHok (talk) 07:18, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

Pinging @Amakuru, who performed the undiscussed move. Thanks! —1isall (talk | contribs) 13:37, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

Hi @1isall and OceanHok: The move to "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Tactics" was only made this morning, so this is hardly a stable title at all that would automatically be reverted back to, and the article itself was only moved from draft space this morning as well. The WP:COMMONNAME for this seems very clear based on the sources in the article itself and elsewhere, including even from the publisher itself so I didn't really think it would be very controversial. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 14:47, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

Both Ubisoft Store and Steam include the "Tom Clancy's" branding though. Not to mention that literally all Tom Clancy's game include the branding. I think that if the article stays at "Rainbow Six Tactics", then all other games in the series need to be moved as well. OceanHok (talk) 17:39, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

He does make a good argument. Thanks! —1isall (talk | contribs) 17:41, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

Well I only mentioned the Ubisoft page as extra evidence. Ultimately it's not that relevant though, WP:COMMONNAME always trumps WP:OFFICIALNAMES. And I'm not sure why WP:TITLECON is mentioned above, that's just an essay and can't trump the WP:COMMONNAME policy. It might be that other titles in the franchise could benefit from moving as well, but that doesn't need to affect this one. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 18:59, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

I still think it is a controversial change and a proper move discussion would be very beneficial. OceanHok (talk) 12:34, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

At this point given the above disagreement, I don't think RM/TR can revert the article back to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Tactics. @Amakuru has a solid argument and also @OceanHok's argument is legitimate (the fact that this is a new article doesn't automatically make an undiscussed move non-controversial). So again, this is no longer a technical correction or W/e. @OceanHok, if you believe this should be moved back to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Tactics, I suggest you open a full RM so the naming issue can be discussed.

• Shift K3y → Shift K3YShift K3Y (currently a redirect back to Shift K3y) (move · discuss) – This is the official capitalization, as you can see here https://www.facebook.com/shiftk3y and here https://x.com/shiftk3y It is also the way third-party sources capitalize it, as you can see here https://www.discogs.com/artist/3499083-Shift-K3Y and here https://soundcloud.com/shift-key and here https://music.apple.com/gb/album/touch-ep/784519530 and here https://web.archive.org/web/20210711103217/https://dancingastronaut.com/2021/06/dillon-francis-drops-second-original-of-2021-alongside-shift-k3y-love-me-better/ Nicholas0 (talk) 21:43, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

Wikipedia strongly avoids all-caps and is mostly indifferent to "officialness", and this seems to just be Leetspeak decorative styling. This is not obviously uncontroversial. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:52, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

There are multiple things wrong with your claims, which appear to be based on personal preferences and personal interpretations (as indicated by the phrase "seems to be").

1. Capitalization is not Leetspeak. Leetspeak is the use of the numeral "3" instead of an "E". Yet you did not change the "3" to an "E", so you are contradicting yourself. That makes it selective application of a rule based on personal preference.

2. The claim that "Wikipedia strongly avoids all-caps" is also incorrect, because that is how the name is capitalized on all of the Wikipedia pages, as you can see here https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_K3Y and here https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_K3Y and here https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_K3Y and here https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EC%8B%9C%ED%94%84%ED%8A%B8_%ED%82%A4_(%EA%B0%80%EC%88%98) .

3. According to MOS:TMCAPS: "For trademarks that are given in mixed or non-capitalization by their owners (such as adidas), follow the formatting and capitalization used by independent reliable sources."

Capitalization by the owner can be seen here https://www.facebook.com/shiftk3y and here https://x.com/shiftk3y . Independent sources can be seen here https://www.discogs.com/artist/3499083-Shift-K3Y and here https://soundcloud.com/shift-key and here https://music.apple.com/gb/album/touch-ep/784519530 and here https://web.archive.org/web/20210711103217/https://dancingastronaut.com/2021/06/dillon-francis-drops-second-original-of-2021-alongside-shift-k3y-love-me-better/ .

This is not uncontroversial. Mdewman6 (talk) 07:17, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

I think a good case at RM could be made for that title, but I wouldn't say there is a unanimous talk page consensus. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 14:20, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
