Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

Welcome to 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:..."

---

If you are here because you want an experienced editor to approve of your new article or proposed rename, you are in the wrong place.

• Make sure you really need technical assistance before making a request here. Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Even if the target page exists, you can sometimes move the page normally if the target is a redirect back to the source page and has 1 revision.
• If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please use the submission wizard to submit your draft or user sandbox page for review at Articles for creation instead of listing it here.
• If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.

To list a technical request: the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection or click the big blue button 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. Do not edit the article's talk page, just click the button below.

Request uncontroversial move

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 or click the big blue button 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}}

Request undiscussed-move reversion

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.

Administration needed

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).

Contested technical requests

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

• Visakhapatnam railway station → Visakhapatnam Junction railway stationVisakhapatnam Junction railway station (currently a redirect back to Visakhapatnam railway station) (move · discuss) – name correction as it is Junction ~2026-43754-06 (talk) 11:30, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

I oppose all the three requests per WP:COMMONNAME, all I am seeing in sources are Visakhapatnam Junction or Visakhapatnam railway station the same goes for the other requests. Where does "Junction railway station" suffix come from? Could you please provide reliable sources? CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 21:18, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

• List of princely states of British India (by region) → List of princely states of British IndiaList of princely states of British India (currently a redirect back to List of princely states of British India (by region)) (move · discuss) – This is the primary list, and the alphabetical list might be deleted due to it violating policy. Please ping me if you contest it, so that I can start a RM HerrHeulsuse (talk) 13:15, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

  The other article might be deleted, but it might not. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 04:39, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

@HerrHeulsuse I'd wait until the AfD plays out. If consensus is to delete, I don't see any issues with moving though it may require a move discussion. In solidarity, Aydoh8^{[what have I done now?]} 23:40, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, let's wait. Thanks! —1isall (talk | contribs) 23:56, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

• Madar Junction → Madar Junction railway stationMadar Junction railway station (currently a redirect back to Madar Junction) (move · discuss) – name correction ~2026-43754-06 (talk) 11:45, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

  Automated comment: ~2026-43754-06, a previous request involving Madar Junction → Madar Junction railway station appears to have been made before (diff). — ThilioBot^talk 21:45, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

  Contested per the above please CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 06:39, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

• Ile Oluji Okeigbo → Ile Oluji/OkeigboIle Oluji/Okeigbo (currently a redirect back to Ile Oluji Okeigbo) (move · discuss) – As I have nominated before, the title either needs a slash or a hyphen based on common usage. They are two different towns. Jô^hola 09:34, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

  Automated comment: @Josedimaria:, a previous request involving Ile Oluji Okeigbo → Ile Oluji/Okeigbo appears to have been made before (diff). — ThilioBot^talk 09:35, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

@Josedimaria As contested before We generally do not use slashes in titles. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 14:05, 10 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.
