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: 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.

Contested technical requests

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

After Midnight (J. J. Cale song) → After Midnight (song) (currently a redirect instead to After Midnight) (move · discuss) – I was unaware of the discussed move two years ago. The previous RM result in "not moved". Somehow, the consensus was ignored, and the article was disambiguated further without another discussion. After reversion, the renaming shall be re-discussed. George Ho (talk) 23:41, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But there's another song by that title. By consensus, we do not do partial disambiguation. Dicklyon (talk) 00:01, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~What about the RM discussion three years ago? How does ignoring that consensus improve the article? --George Ho (talk) 00:07, 27 November 2016 (UTC)~~[reply]

Never mind; I will start a discussion soon. In other words, I'll withdraw the request of speedy renaming. George Ho (talk) 00:18, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you read that discussion (Talk:After_Midnight_(J._J._Cale_song)#Requested_move), you can see that the scant remarks there are not very relevant to the issue; the current title was not even the subject of the discussion. Both a responder and the closer displayed lack of knowledge of what primarytopic means, as the comment there pointed out. It's good that it got fixed. Why are you suggesting partial disambiguation would be better, when there's a widespread and well-known consensus against it? Dicklyon (talk) 00:23, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also note that it was your own friggin lame RM proposal that you're now arguing against, suggesting that you have no actual opinion and are simply causing churn based on some misguideded idea that wikilawyering is a good thing. Dicklyon (talk) 00:27, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
