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.

Technical requests

Uncontroversial technical requests

  • Gangavaram mandal, Konaseema district (currently a redirect to K. Gangavaram mandal)  Gangavaram mandal, Alluri Sitharama Raju district (currently a redirect instead to Gangavaram mandal) (move · discuss) – This request proposes the relocation of Gangavaram mandal, Konaseema district to Gangavaram mandal, Alluri Sitharama Raju district. The rationale for this move is based on administrative accuracy and geographical alignment, as Gangavaram mandal is geographically situated within the boundaries of Rampachodavaram revenue division in Alluri Sitharama Raju district.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

@Tazelaar Contesting as this likely needs a discussion to move forward. This wiki prefers English titles when possible, and we use the WP:COMMONNAME which is the name reported by majority of sources (again, preferably English sources, which are typically going to favor an English translation) - as for the translation, if the official translation is incorrect, it might be borderline editorializing if we try to correct it unless the correction we go with is also supported by majority of RS. At the very least, we would need to see sources or evidence of which title is the common name to move forward (and that would be most productive in a discussion where editors can bring forward opposing evidence that may have been missed.) ASUKITE 14:46, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I concede that the content of the translation is a circumstantial argument, but an argument nonetheless. Tazelaar (talk) 13:01, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Another circumstantial argument is that: "El patrón del mal" is a better recognisable title. Pablo Escobar was a drug lord, so the title could be used normally in a sentence. "El patrón del mal" is a unique title, more distinguishing from the "Pablo Escobar" article and Google results. Tazelaar (talk) 13:16, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Tazelaar; your technical request has been contested. If you wish to continue with the request, please use the "discuss" link in your request to open a full RM. Sennecaster (Chat) 19:28, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jean-de-Nivelle It appears that Bedroom farce has about twice the pageviews of the play, so more likely, the alternative capitalization of Bedroom Farce should redirect to Bedroom farce instead. Raladic (talk) 21:27, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Raladic That's a good point, but wikinav analysis ([1][2]) shows that only 13% of "Bedroom farce"'s traffic is from search results, the majority coming from internal links, while over 60% of "Bedroom Farce (play)"'s traffic is from "other search" - if I'm interpreting the results correctly. Worth an RM, or would WP:RFD be a better course? Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 10:57, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since I believe you'd still like to move Bedroom Farce (play) to Bedroom Farce, I'd say a RM is probably best to answer both the question of if it should be moved, or if not, if Bedroom Farce should instead redirect to Bedroom farce as a redirect from alternative capitalization and then just post a note at the lowercase article to let people watching that article know about the RM.

  • The Mexican  The Mexican (film) (currently a redirect back to The Mexican) (move · discuss) – The title should clarify that this is a film as per WP:PARENDIS. According to WP standards, parenthetical disambiguation is needed because the standard use of Mexican is not for a film, but a person from Mexico. Currently, there is a backward redirect MexFin (talk) 06:22, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Currently the 2001 film is set as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the term The Mexican, which seems reasonable as it has a large lead in page views over the other four topics from the Mexican disambiguation page which are called The Mexican. I'm guessing the OP is suggesting perhaps the generic use of Mexican as defined by the other usages on that disambiguation page should be considered for The Mexican too, but we don't normally regard such titles as ambiguous if there's a clear primary topic for the exact term as specified. @MexFin: please start a full RM discussion if you wish to proceed. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 11:15, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thyia of Thessaly  Thyia (daughter of Deucalion) (currently a redirect back to Thyia of Thessaly) (move · discuss) – No sources call her "Thyia of Thessaly". Best to use the disambiguator "daughter of Deucalion", per sources such as Gantz's Early Greek Myth, p. 909, and Hard's Routledge Handbook of Greek Mythology, p. 741. Michael Aurel (talk) 14:35, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This is just standard naming for princesses and suchlike - <Name> of <Location>. I don't see a strong need to change it and the current tittle is WP:NATURALDIS.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:23, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not aware of any source calling her a princess, so I don't know why we would use standard naming for royalty. Her only real significance is genealogical. In addition, as I said, I don't think there is any source which calls her "Thyia of Thessaly", so I don't see how WP:NATDIS applies, since the phrase is not what she is commonly called in English reliable sources. – Michael Aurel (talk) 17:05, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lokotrans Aréna  Mladá Boleslav Municipal Stadium (currently a redirect back to Lokotrans Aréna) (move · discuss) – Article Lokotrans Aréna should be renamed to Mladá Boleslav Municipal Stadium because Wikipedia generally avoids using commercial names for titles, particularly when they change frequently. This aligns with the established naming convention for municipal stadiums, as seen in articles like Białystok Municipal Stadium. A non-commercial name will also ensure consistency and longevity, given that sponsorship agreements can be temporary, while the location and public function of the stadium remain constant. Paradygmaty (talk) 16:50, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Wikipedia generally avoids using commercial names for titles not really true, Wikipedia uses the name that is determined to be most commonly used in English-language reliable sources regardless of whether that happens to be as a result of a sponsorship agreement. This is also a previously reverted undiscussed move (twice [3], [4]) and you've been previously advised to open a discussion if you believe it is to be moved.
