Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests
Appearance
The discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. If any of the following apply to a desired move, treat it as potentially controversial:
- There is an existing article (not just a redirect) at the target title;
- There has been any past debate about the best title for the page;
- Someone could reasonably disagree with the move.
If a desired move is uncontroversial and technical in nature (e.g. spelling), please feel free to move the page yourself. If the page has recently been moved without discussion, you may revert the move and initiate a discussion on its talk page. In either case, if you are unable to complete the move, request it below.
- To list a technical request, go to the bottom of this section that you are reading right now; edit the subsection Uncontroversial technical requests; insert the following code at the top:
{{subst:RMassist|<!--old page name, without brackets-->|<!--requested name, without brackets-->|reason= <!--reason for 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 it to the Contested technical requests section.
- If your technical request is contested by another editor, please remove it from the contested technical requests section and follow the instructions at Requesting potentially controversial moves.
- Alternatively, if the only obstacle to an uncontroversial move is another page in the way, you can ask for the deletion of the other page. This may apply, for example, if the other page is currently a redirect to the article to be moved, a redirect with no incoming links, or an unnecessary disambiguation page with a minor edit history. To request the other page be deleted, add the following code to the top of the page that is in the way:
{{db-move|<!--page to be moved here-->|<!--reason for move-->}}
- This will list the undesired page for deletion under criterion for speedy deletion G6. If the page is a redirect, place the code above the redirection. For a list of articles being considered for uncontroversial speedy deletion, see Category:Candidates for uncontroversial speedy deletion.
Uncontroversial technical requests
- L'Indépendant → L'Indépendant (Luxembourg) (move · discuss) – I had originally asked for L'Indépendant to be moved to the primary topic, since there was only one article by that name. I've now created a second article on such a newspaper, so the dab page can become primary topic again – Midas02 (talk) 03:08, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
- L'Indépendant (disambiguation) → L'Indépendant (move · discuss) – I had originally asked for L'Indépendant to be moved to the primary topic, since there was only one article by that name. I've now created a second article on such a newspaper, so the dab page can become primary topic again – Midas02 (talk) 03:08, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
- County Court Bulk Centre → County Court Business Centre (move · discuss) – Official change of name – 86.27.92.64 (talk) 23:17, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
- List of Serbian American → List of Serbian Americans (move · discuss) – Move to grammatically more accurate title – M11rtinb (talk) 17:20, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
- Robin Roberts (disambiguation) → Robin Roberts (move · discuss) – To stop the messing about with the redirect, please move the dab page to the primary location. If someone then wants to make the newscaster a primary topic, they can start a move discussion – Midas02 (talk) 16:01, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
- Note: There seems to be a cut-and-paste move somewhere in these articles' histories from Robin Roberts to Robin Roberts (disambiguation) at some point. I'll probably tag one of them shortly. Steel1943 (talk) 19:55, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
- Note: Also, if this move is performed, due to the cut-paste move, their respective talk pages should not be deleted or moved. Steel1943 (talk) 20:09, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
