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.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

• – no disambiguation needed 2A00:23EE:1CB8:5F8B:47E:8FFF:FEAC:4F48 (talk) 07:14, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
• (How to Live) As Ghosts (currently a redirect to (How to Live) as Ghosts) → (How to Live) as Ghosts (move · discuss) – MOS:TITLECAPS -- FMSky (talk) 06:32, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.

• Punjab Sports University → Maharaja Bhupinder Singh Punjab Sports University (currently a redirect back to Punjab Sports University) (move · discuss) – Popular and official name. If you Google "Maharaja Bhupinder Singh Punjab Sports University", it will bring you "About 78,400 results" 14.139.183.119 (talk) 00:10, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

  This move has already been formally proposed in a requested move twice (see the article's talk page). If you think circumstances have changed since the previous RMs in 2019 (please read them to see why they failed), you can open another one by clicking the "discuss" link in your request.

• EvoBus (currently a redirect to Daimler Buses) → Daimler Buses (move · discuss) – company renamed per cite in article and updated official website Pynkcalify (talk) 05:27, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

  @Pynkcalify: A quick Google search shows that the current title returns more results than the proposed one, so this request currently fails WP:COMMONNAME. This is a WP:PCM. If you wish to continue with your request, click the discuss link in your request to begin a formal WP:RM discussion. Once you've done that, or if you do not wish to continue, please remove your request. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 11:58, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

  @UtherSRG: I personally think we should just move this. There are lots of recent sources covering the name change, and the probability of anyone continuing to use the old name of this relatively low-profile company in sources going forward is low.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:15, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

  Not surprising that the former name had more hits than the one introduced two days earlier. There is always a delay in a company being renamed and Google's algorithms picking up on it. That said, and another day later, a Google search for Daimler Buses bring sixteen million hits, EvoBus six million. Pynkcalify (talk) 06:05, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

  @Pynkcalify: My Daimler Buses search only gets 1M hits, while my EvoBus search gets 7M. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:34, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

• Alexander Potebnja → Oleksandr Potebnja (currently a redirect back to Alexander Potebnja) (move · discuss) – Ukrainian scientist's name is correctly transliterated in the text of the article, but the name of the page uses russian transliteration, which should be corrected Maxymczech (talk) 01:30, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

  @Maxymczech: This at least needs discussion. As far as I can tell, all English language sources use "Alexander". This may not be a case of Russian or Ukrainian, but WP:UE. - Station1 (talk) 04:05, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

• Down the Line → Down the line (currently a redirect back to Down the Line) (move · discuss) – WP:NCCAPS 47.155.41.201 (talk) 08:33, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

That is a disambig page, and I disagree with the request's rationale. Everything in that page capitalizes "Line" and they are all titles. For a similar request that was not enacted for this reason, see Talk:Sugar Mama. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:59, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

• English Rose (currently a redirect to English rose) → English rose (disambiguation) (currently a redirect instead to English rose) (move · discuss) – MOS:AT, no reason why English rose should be mainspace while the capped English Rose should be the sole disambig Orchastrattor (talk) 20:03, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

  @Orchastrattor: I think moving English rose (disambiguation) to English rose would be better. With WP:NOPT, the dab article should be in the primary location. This is a WP:PCM. If you wish to continue with your request, click the discuss link in your request to begin a formal WP:RM discussion. Once you've done that, or if you do not wish to continue, please remove your request. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 20:27, 16 July 2023 (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.
