Requests to revert undiscussed moves
- Squattocracy (currently a redirect to Squatting (Australian history)) → Squatting (Australia) (currently a redirect instead to Squatting (Australian history)) (move · discuss) – Controversial undiscussed move that was incorrectly pitched as an uncontroversial request and has since been challenged by two editors: the "squattocracy" and "squatters" in general are not the same thing, and the former is an opinion term in any case.

- Oppose i don't think a revert will solve this problem, please see ongoing discussion at Talk:Squatting in Australia. In short, renaming Squattocracy to a name everyone agrees on seems like a better option. Mujinga (talk) 14:23, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: But it is a request to revert a recent undiscussed move, so the revert should happen first, and the discussion should happen afterwards. —BarrelProof (talk) 20:23, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
