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: 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.

• Jewish Ukrainian mathematicians (currently a redirect to List of Ukrainian Jews) → Category:Jewish Ukrainian mathematicians (move · discuss) – currently this article is categorized in Jewish Ukrainian scientists. I think it would be better to move it from a list article of no specific purpose to a subcategory of Jewish Ukrainian scientists, aligned with the Jewish Ukrainian social scientists subcategory.

• It is unconventional (and indeed perhaps not possible) to move an article to a category. Also note that the target category was deleted in 2021 at a CFD. Bensci54 (talk) 17:59, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
  • It's not possible. At best it would be List of Jewish Ukrainian mathematicians. -Kj cheetham (talk) 18:27, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

• Queendom (TV series) → Queendom (TV program) (currently a redirect back to Queendom (TV series)) (move · discuss) – WP:NCTV stated that "..for all other programs use (TV program) or (TV programme).." 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 16:49, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

The rationale behind this request is incorrect. The cited guideline from WP:NCTV says to use "(TV program)" for anything that is not a series, and it's in a section called Non-series television for one-time broadcasts and the like. If I'm reading the article correctly, Queendom is a series. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:43, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

• NC ratio (currently a redirect to Nuclear–cytoplasmic ratio) → Nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio (currently a redirect instead to Nuclear–cytoplasmic ratio) (move · discuss) – Alternative, unrestricted title. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 05:19, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
  • @JohnCWiesenthal: En dash or slash should be used instead of hyphen per MOS:ENBETWEEN. The existing redirect can be retargeted without special permissions. PleaseStand (talk) 20:13, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

    @PleaseStand: I'd agree that ENBETWEEN would call for a dash in "nucleus–cytoplasm ratio", since that means "nucleus-to-cytoplasm ratio". But this would imply "nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio". SilverLocust 💬 23:08, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

    @SilverLocust ENBETWEEN does say though that "The components may be nouns, adjectives, verbs, or any other independent part of speech." And I'm not sure that "nuclear-to-cytoplasmic [volume] ratio" is any less valid of a construction than, say, "observed-to-expected [events] ratio" or "wide-to-narrow [bar width] ratio". PleaseStand (talk) 02:42, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

    Fair enough. SilverLocust 💬 02:55, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
