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.

• Orders of magnitude (magnetic field) → Orders of magnitude (magnetic flux density) (currently a redirect back to Orders of magnitude (magnetic field)) (move · discuss) – I would move the page myself, but there is currently a redirect. The page does not compare “magnetic fields” – e.g. earth's magnetic field is much stronger than that of a neodymium magnet – but compares magnetic flux densities, measured in tesla usually right above the magnet's surface. Grufo (talk) 06:37, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

• Churchill Retirement Living (currently a redirect to Churchill Living) → Churchill Living (move · discuss) – company rebrand and new name as of 1st July 2024 WhiteHaidee (talk) 10:38, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
• Bombing of Bangkok in World War II → Bombing of Bangkok (currently a redirect back to Bombing of Bangkok in World War II) (move · discuss) – there was only one, see "Bombing of Tokyo" as format. Gryffindor (talk) 10:56, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

  @Gryffindor You can move this one yourself. This page is only for cases where you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons. --Ahecht (TALK
  PAGE) 13:15, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

• High Court of Justice (1649) (currently a redirect to Trial of Charles I) → Trial of Charles I (move · discuss) – The current name is very unrecognisable and likely to be confused with the modern High Court of Justice. As the page discuss only the Trial of Charles I, this is a much more appropriate name. Safes007 (talk) 13:04, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

  @Ravenpuff Since you moved the page to its current title in 2022, any comment? --Ahecht (TALK
  PAGE) 13:34, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

  No opposition to the proposed change (I agree that it's a more recognisable title), but the lead would need to be rewritten slightly to accommodate it as per MOS:BOLDLEAD. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 13:59, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

• Witness to Your Love (EP) (currently a redirect to Witness to Your Love) → Witness to Your Love (move · discuss) – Remove unnecessary disambiguator Vitaazerokelvin (talk) 14:08, 24 July 2024 (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.

• Terrorist tactics, techniques, and procedures → Tactics, techniques, and procedures (currently a redirect back to Terrorist tactics, techniques, and procedures) (move · discuss) – article expanded to more general concept. currently existing redirect prevents move Tule-hog (talk) 11:36, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

That should be lowercase per WP:SENTENCECASE. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 14:19, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Agree Tule-hog (talk) 20:35, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Also simply oppose. There are tactics, techniques and procedures involved in many activities. That's not what the article is about. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 14:42, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

TTPs is a term in security studies applied to a broader range of attackers than terrorists. See APTs comment. Work has already begun on the article to expand the scope (should the request wait until satisfactorily expanded?). Tule-hog (talk) 20:39, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

There are also non-attacking and non-security scenarios that involve tactics, techniques, and procedures. For example, political campaigns have tactics, techniques, and procedures. Nursing involves tactics, techniques, and procedures. Something is needed to identify a context. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:14, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

From what I've gathered, this is an acronym used specifically in security studies. Only references to the phrase TTP for nursing and politics I could find were in a military context. Tule-hog (talk) 02:34, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

• Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology → Dhirubhai Ambani University (move · discuss) – Name according to UGC - https://www.ugc.gov.in/universitydetails/Private_university_other?id=178L

Renamed as reported by multiple media outlets - https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/ahmedabad/daiict-dhirubhai-ambani-university-9188881/lite/ ,

https://deshgujarat.com/2024/03/01/gujarat-assembly-approves-renaming-of-daiict-as-dhirubhai-ambani-university/

Alao the published act is out in public and at website which says " after clause (o), the following clause shall be added, namely:- “(p) “University” means the Dhirubhai Ambani University, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, a University established under section 3.”." which you can get at this link- https://www.daiict.ac.in/sites/default/files/other-files/Amended_DA-IICT_Act-Gazette_June-2024.pdf 14.139.183.119 (talk) 21:02, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Common name still appears to be the page name per the official website and most sources. I suggest starting a requested move discussion. C F A 💬 16:39, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

• Coastal Command (Pakistan) → Pakistan Navy Coastal Command (currently a redirect back to Coastal Command (Pakistan)) (move · discuss) – The article was moved without discussion from COMMONNAME[1],[2],[3],[4] and Streamline with other articles (Pakistan Navy Western Command, Pakistan Navy Northern Command) Ainty Painty (talk) 01:30, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

  The move was in 2021, and three days after the article was created, so not an automatic move. Sources seem to be a bit mixed as to whether they treat "Pakistan Navy" as part of the title, so might be worth a discussion. Some also don't capitalise, e.g. Pakistan Navy coastal command.  — Amakuru (talk) 08:45, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

• Mascot Books → Amplify Publishing Group (move · discuss) – Mascot Books rebranded to Amplify Publishing Group in 2022, following investment. Mascot Books remains an imprint within Amplify Publishing Group, but is no longer the business name itself. Graham at Amplify (talk) 17:52, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

@Graham at Amplify "Mascot Books" is still the common name. The article is about "Mascot Books", not its parent company at the moment. C F A 💬 18:05, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

• Honeysuckle → Lonicera (currently a redirect back to Honeysuckle) (move · discuss) – R to scientific name, instead of the other way... see Talk:Honeysuckle#redirect - Adolphus79 (talk) 20:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

  I think you should start an actual discussion for this one. C F A 💬 21:17, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

  There already is, at Talk:Honeysuckle#redirect, I also asked WP:PLANTS for comment before it was brought here. I might have jumped the gun a little on this request based on the first couple comments, I was under the impression that it was uncontested, but after further comments, it appears these may be in the order they are on purpose. I have no issues if this is denied, I was only trying to help an IP editor with their request (that made sense to me also). - Adolphus79 (talk) 22:17, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm going to contest this one. While it would be consistent with many other plant genus at their scientific name rather than common names, this common name is well known among the public. It is almost as popular a common name as Tulip, another genus at its common name rather than at genus Tulipa. Evidence of popularity Google Ngram. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 21:15, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

• SpaceX Starship integrated flight test 1 (currently a redirect to Starship flight test 1) → Starship Flight Test (currently a redirect instead to Starship flight test 1) (move · discuss) – Official (shorter) name. Can link a hatnote to disambiguate between other flight tests [osunpokeh/talk/contributions] 09:30, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

  This may belong better in contested technical requests if other editors would like to raise concerns over the new name. [osunpokeh/talk/contributions] 09:32, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

  @Osunpokeh: This is potentially controversial, so you will need to open another requested-move discussion, which you can do by pressing "discuss" on your request. There was no consensus for this when you requested it at April 2023. (The current title was the result of another RM in November 2023.) SilverLocust 💬 09:38, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

• Air raids on Australia, 1942–1943 (currently a redirect to Japanese air raids on Australia) → Air raids on Australia (1942–1943) (move · discuss) – format, see "Bombing of Singapore (1944–1945)" for example or "Bombing of South-East Asia (1944–1945)" Gryffindor (talk) 10:54, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

  Per WP:NCWWW, these should be at 1942–1943 Australia air raids, 1944–1945 Singapore bombing, and 1944–1945 South-East Asia bombing, unless WP:COMMONNAME says otherwise. In any case, if the common names are as presented above then for two of the three examples (all but Singapore) the date qualifier is unnecessary as there is nothing to disambiguate from.

@Gryffindor That title was rejected in 2020 at Talk:Bombing of Rangoon in World War II#Requested move 12 October 2020 due to confusion with Rangoon bombing. If you wish to continue with this request, please click the "discuss" link in your request above to open a move discussion. --Ahecht (TALK
