Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request a technical move 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 "This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

• Please make sure you really need technical assistance before making a request here. In particular, if the target page is a redirect back to the source page that has only one revision, you can usually move the page normally.
• 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.
• To request a reversion of a recent undiscussed move: Review the guidelines at WP:RMUM of whether a reversion of an undiscussed move qualifies as uncontroversial and if so, the Requests to revert undiscussed moves 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. Note that in some cases, clerks, such as administrators or page movers may determine that your request for a reversion does not pass the criteria and may move the request to the contested section or open a formal requested move discussion for potentially controversial moves on your behalf.
• 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. A bot will automatically remove contested requests after 72 hours of inactivity.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed in this section.

• Rainforest scops owl → Madagascar scops owlMadagascar scops owl (currently a redirect back to Rainforest scops owl) (move · discuss) – Taxonomy changes, discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Torotoroka scops owl, indicate that the final distination of the merge, and location for the discussion of the species, should be Madagascar scops owl. However, that is occupied by redirects. I suggest moving Torotoroka scops owl there before the merge in order to preserve the most significant portion of the key revision history at the final destination.

• Irumudi → Irumudi (film)Irumudi (film) (currently a redirect back to Irumudi) (move · discuss) – Irumudi also refers to a travelling kit which a pilgrim carries on his head during the pilgrimage. It is considered sacred and is related to religion. One can refer to lead here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayyappan to understand more about to it.

Irumudi (film) name would differentiate between religious sacred Irumudi and film apart.

Go through this for more information - https://www.sabarimala.com/sacred-irumudi.htm

The move was made unilaterally to Irumudi from Irumudi (film).

And the earlier move request was closed by a non-admin without letting inputs of editors come. just give it some time if any non-admin is trying to close this request again.

Requesting to move back to Irumudi (film) to ensure there is no confusion and misinformation. Wikipicked (talk) 11:01, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

Wikipicked This is not elgible as an uncontroversial technical move. There was a very recent previous move discussion closed as not moved. If you think that move was closed incorrectly, Wikipedia:Move review is thataways. older ≠ wiser 11:33, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

Gotcha, I didn't know Move review process existed. Thank you Wikipicked (talk) 11:42, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

  Do I need to do this? Because the dab pages are terrible and unnecessary. Redirect pages are always available. Henrydat (talk) 11:50, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

  @Henrydat Please don't,.. You need to be patient because we are following every discussion and every article's move revision including the disc currently at ANI, that are some hell of a mess. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 12:34, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

  You see, I'm very active. Henrydat (talk) 12:37, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

  Henrydat has been blocked indef per the mentioned AN/I thread. Not sure what that means for the future of these requests, though. ScalarFactor (talk) 03:29, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

  I reverted some of them but these six requests are messed up and need someone to study WP:VIETPLACE. Currently, I have zero appetite. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 05:46, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

@1isall what's your input about thz Hồng Ngự (city) → Hồng Ngự? CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 08:04, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

I honestly don't know. Thanks! —1isall (talk | contribs) 12:37, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Comment: All of the redirect targets are disambiguation pages that either refer to the same name but different administrative division, or different locations in different places (e.g. Long Khánh). ⠀⠀⠀⠀ .n (super gay) 10:14, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if they have been contested.

• French Baroque architecture → French Classicism in architecture (move · discuss) – Solely to align the title with the article summary. [ French Classicism is the primary term, if not the only one, by which this style is known. As explained in the article's introductory summary, the "Baroque style" does not simply signify magnificence in France but has a more specific meaning, associated with irregularity, a taste for the singular and the unusual, superabundance of ornaments, and illusion. While initially influenced by the Baroque, French architectural style in the 17th century quickly sought to avoid exuberance in favour of regularity — to the extent that even buildings from the Baroque era featuring trompe-l'œil ceilings and twisted columns, such as the Val-de-Grâce church, are classified as "Baroque classicisant" ("Classicizing Baroque") due their overall regular layout. Besides, the photograph of the Palace of Versailles at the top of the article represents the quintessential example of French Classical architecture (as the page dedicated to it indicates). ] CosasonFacio (talk) 09:31, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

  @CosasonFacio: Unfortunately, I think this is too thorny an issue to be a technical request and should go to full discussion. My reading is that "Baroque" was chosen not to "signify magnificence" as you put it, but as a chronological marker, to indicate the 17th century. As you note, as a stylistic marker it isn't a good fit for this subject. Ham II (talk) 19:18, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

• Wonder Man (TV series) → Wonder Man (miniseries)Wonder Man (miniseries) (currently a redirect back to Wonder Man (TV series)) (move · discuss) – Season 2 was cancelled. KingArti (talk) 20:05, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

  Automated comment: @KingArti:, a previous request involving Wonder Man (TV series) → Wonder Man (miniseries) appears to have been made before (diff). — ThilioBot^talk 23:10, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

  • Contesting, all shows that were canceled after one season (a la Firefly (TV series), High Fidelity (TV series), Lovecraft Country (TV series), etc.) should not use the disambiguation "miniseries"; there needs to be an intention for it to be a limited series (the initial renewal of Wonder Man proves otherwise). -- Wikipedical (talk) 23:06, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

Administrator needed

Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.
