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.

• Template:MSR Vasai Road-Roha line → Template:Mumbai – Suburban Railway, Vasai Road-Roha (move · discuss) – name correction ~2026-42858-88 (talk) 15:02, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

• Labour Laws in India (currently a redirect to Labour laws in India) → Labour laws in India (move · discuss) – Sentence case title. Chorchapu (talk | edits) 19:13, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

  The page has been moved multiple times in the past few days, so I'm not sure if completing this move was a good idea. Thanks! —1isall (talk | contribs) 19:36, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves a technical request for reverting a recent undiscussed move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

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

• Serenity High School → McKinney North High School (move · discuss) – The building of McKinney North High School same address Ranch9613 💬 01:37, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

@Ranch9613 We cannot just change article names because The building of McKinney North High School same address, Could you provide evidence? See WP:COMMONNAME CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 06:44, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

This is a merger request rather than a requested move, though still not one that should be carried out. The schools are located in the same building/campus but kept separate. ~ Jenson (SilverLocust 💬) 14:24, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

• V12 → V12 (disambiguation)V12 (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to V12) (move · discuss) – primary topic, should redirect to V12 engine ~2026-42661-46 (talk) 04:24, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

@~2026-42661-46 Primary topic grabs are generally controversial. I say this because other page movers have regularly contested similar requests. Please see WP:PCM. Thanks! —1isall (talk | contribs) 14:56, 3 August 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.

• Christopher Chandler → Chris ChandlerChris Chandler (currently a redirect back to Christopher Chandler) (restricted by the titleblacklist, which page movers can override) (move · discuss) – Several individuals on this page have first names other than Christopher, so the first name should be broader. Administrator who makes the move, also please change the text "Christopher Chandler or Chris Chandler" to "Chris Chandler" ~2026-42437-76 (talk) 17:58, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
