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.

• Coronavirus disease 2019 (currently a redirect to COVID-19) → COVID-19 (move · discuss) – Per discussion result at Talk:Coronavirus disease 2019#Requested move 1 March 2021. JE98 (talk) 17:01, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Contest, you closed the discussion on the basis of more support than oppose, but this is not how consensus works per WP:NOTAVOTE. Polyamorph (talk) 20:15, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Per WP:NOTAVOTE you need to explain why there is a consensus in favour, given that there is more support if the arguments are reasonable on both sides that's probably enough but if not then it shouldn't be moved. This seems a reasonable close other than NOTAVOTE so please either modify to specify why there's consensus (other than just votes) or reopen. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:37, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
