Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Wikipedia. For retitling files, categories and other items, see When not to use this page.

Please read the article titling policy and the guideline regarding primary topics before moving a page or requesting a page move.

Any autoconfirmed user can use the Move function to perform most moves (see Help:How to move a page). If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page. However, it may not always be possible or desirable to do this:

  • Technical reasons may prevent a move; for example, a page may already exist at the target title and require deletion, or the page may be protected from moves. See: § Requesting technical moves.
  • Requests to revert recent, undiscussed, controversial moves may be made at WP:RM/TR. If the new name has not become the stable title, the undiscussed move will be reverted. If the new name has become the stable title, a requested move will be needed to determine the article's proper location.
  • A title may be disputed, and discussion may be necessary to reach consensus: see § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. The requested moves process is not mandatory, and sometimes an informal discussion at the article's talk page can help reach consensus.
  • A page should not be moved and a new move discussion should not be opened when there is already an open move request on a talk page. Instead, please participate in the open discussion.
  • Unregistered and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.

Requests are generally processed after seven days. If consensus to move the page is reached at or after this time, a reviewer will carry out the request. If there is a consensus not to move the page, the request will be closed as "not moved". When consensus remains unclear, the request may be relisted to allow more time for consensus to develop, or the discussion may be closed as "no consensus". See Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.

Wikipedia:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a move request as long as all steps are followed. If a discussion on the closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of the move discussion to determine whether or not the contested close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines.

When not to use this page

Shortcuts

Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:

Undiscussed moves

Shortcuts

Autoconfirmed editors may move a page without discussion if all of the following apply:

  • No article exists at the new target title;
  • There has been no previous discussion about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and
  • It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.

If you disagree with a prior bold move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move yourself. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons, then you may request a technical move.

Move wars are disruptive, so if you make a bold move and it is reverted, do not make the move again. Instead, follow the procedures laid out in § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.

Uncontroversial proposals

Only list proposals here that are clearly uncontroversial but require administrator help to complete (for example, spelling and capitalization fixes). Do not list a proposed page move in this section if there is any possibility that it could be opposed by anyone. Please list new requests at the bottom of the list in this section and use {{subst:RMassist|Old page name|Requested name|Reason for move}} rather than copying previous entries. The template will automatically include your signature. No edits to the article's talk page are required.

If you object to a proposal listed here, please re-list it in the #Incomplete and contested proposals section below.

Incomplete and contested proposals

With the exception of a brief description of the problem or objection to the move request, please do not discuss move requests here. If you support an incomplete or contested move request, please consider following the instructions above to create a full move request, and move the discussion to the "Other Proposals" section below. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

No such expression appears on the page. It is based on a very old book called "SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS". Snowman (talk) 21:58, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In AE a sandbox is a few feet on each side, that kids play in, a sandpit is a thousand or so feet on each side, that dumptrucks and bucket loaders haul sand out of by the cubic yard. 199.125.109.57 (talk) 16:06, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The primary topic, if any, is actually sandbox (computer security), with 2.7 times as many views as sandbox (software development), and 7.3 times as many as sandpit/sandbox, which in common AE is clearly the primary topic, as it is the origin of all the other uses. 199.125.109.57 (talk) 16:26, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It was moved to sandpit because too many people were editing it thinking that it was the Wikipedia sandbox. See here. 199.125.109.57 (talk) 16:53, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I think that it should be something like 2008 Austrian incest case or something along those lines anyway.--Phill talk Edits Review this GA review! 20:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nikola Zrinski → Miklós Zrínyi —(Discuss)— It's a tough question, but on the talk page there was a kind of agreement that the grandfather would stay on his Croatian name, and the younger Zrínyi would get a page after his Hungarian name. I think it's a fair compromise between Hungarians and Croatians. The younger Zrínyi signed Szigeti veszedelem in Hungarian, and it's written in Hungarian, so despite his Croatian origins, it'd be fair to move this page. --Drkazmer (talk) 15:47, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Backlog

Move dated sections here after five days have passed (September 25 or older).

Case Closed: Captured in Her Eyes → Detective Conan: Captured in Her Eyes
Case Closed: Countdown to Heaven → Detective Conan: Countdown to Heaven
Case Closed: The Phantom of Baker Street → Detective Conan: The Phantom of Baker Street
Case Closed: Crossroad in the Ancient Capital → Detective Conan: Crossroad in the Ancient Capital
Case Closed: Magician of the Silver Sky → Detective Conan: Magician of the Silver Sky
Case Closed: Strategy Above the Depths → Detective Conan: Strategy Above the Depths
Case Closed: The Private Eyes' Requiem → Detective Conan: The Private Eyes' Requiem
Case Closed: Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure → Detective Conan: Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure
Case Closed: Full Score of Fear → Detective Conan: Full Score of Fear
—(Discuss)— Although a former RM request established the usage of the name Case Closed, the reason for that was there have been already English releases of the respective manga, anime, and movies (as in the case of Case Closed: The Time-Bombed Skyscraper and Case Closed: The Fourteenth Target) under the Case Closed name. The DC/CC movies nominated here, however, have never been released in English, and the Japanese maintain their naming with "Detective Conan." Thus, naming any of these movies with Case Closed is purely speculative and violates WP:CRYSTAL. --Samuel di Curtisi di Salvadori 04:33, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Katie Sierra → Katie Sierra suspension controversy —(Discuss)— The core focus of this article is not the life and times of Katie Sierra, but a specific series of events that occurred over the space of two years and revolved around a controversial suspension. Sierra is not notable independently of the controversy, for example as an activist or Rosa Parks-style figure. According to WP:BLP1E, biographies of individuals who are notable for one event only should be rewritten to focus on the event, not the person. --Skomorokh 16:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Worcester → Worcester, Worcestershire —(Discuss)— The town of Worcester, Worcestershire is simply not the primary topic for "Worcester", as Worcester, Massachusetts receives an average of over 5,000 readers more per month even with the UK city being located at Worcester. Since there is no primary topic, "Worcester" being the location of the disambiguation page is optimal. The current location of the articles is not in line with Wikipedia's naming conventions, as the UK town is not the unambiguous meaning of "Worcester" for the majority of readers. --Rai•me 21:52, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
