Uncontroversial technical requests
- Electric Dreams (TV series) (currently a redirect to Electric Dreams) → Electric Dreams (BBC TV series) (currently a redirect instead to Electric Dreams (2009 TV series)) (move · discuss) – WP:PRECISE, insufficient disambiguation to identify topic. Multiple TV series referred to as "Electric Dreams"; the current title should point to the disambiguation page Electric Dreams -- 70.51.45.76 (talk) 05:07, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
- European Anti-fraud Office (currently a redirect to European Anti-Fraud Office) → European Anti-Fraud Office (move · discuss) – Official caps per https://ec.europa.eu/info/departments/european-anti-fraud-office_en Brandmeistertalk 17:30, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
- Blue-tailed skink → Cryptoblepharus egeriae (move · discuss) – Cryptoblepharus egeriae is an endangered skink living on Christmas Island in Asia; Plestiodon fasciatus is a very similar-looking skink that lives all up and down the east side of North America. Having blue-tailed skink host a page on the former is, I believe, causing confusion; I've found several images on Commons that mislabel the North American skink as the Asian one. Given that there are several more species with this common name, I'd like each article to be named with the species, and after this move I plan to redirect blue-tailed skink to the extant blue-tailed skink (disambiguation) and add a dab link to the top of each article. This is a technical request because Cryptoblepharus egeriae already exists and redirects to blue-tailed skink. -- Phyzome is Tim McCormack 16:16, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
