Shortcuts

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: edit 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.

Technical requests

Edit this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

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.
This is not always a proper noun. Even in the article, both capitalizations are used. You'll have to start a WP:RM for this. C F A 💬 17:30, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why does this need to be moved? C F A 💬 02:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because all the Wikipedia should be as per WP:HYPHEN. 2409:40E0:101D:BCC3:49E:DEFF:FE57:3302 (talk) 04:56, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean? Are you suggesting that is should be moved to Ishq Ki Dastaan – Naagmani (en dash instead of hyphen)? Your current requested target eliminates the dash altogether. C F A 💬 17:21, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Gotjawal Forest (currently a redirect to Gotjawal) → Gotjawal (move · discuss) – "Gotjawal" is a generic Jeju language word for the wild forest, kinda like how "the bush" is used for Australia. It shouldn't be a proper noun like the current title. This is backed up by the content of the article. There are grammar mistakes here and there in the article; I suspect the titling is a similar misunderstanding. 211.43.120.242 (talk) 07:57, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not necessarily the case. In English, a lot of place names are tautological, adding a descriptor like "forest", "mountain", "desert", "river", etc. to a name already including this meaning in the native language. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 11:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that's what this is; I'm not worried about tautologies here. The places on the list you link are single geographical features, e.g. a lake or a river, that happen to have a tautological name.
    Gotjawal is not one specific feature, it's a category: multiple different places that are disconnected. There are several different gotjawal forests that each have their own individual names.
    I'm proposing that this page be treated more like Tundra or Rainforest; it's the forest biome on Jeju Island as a whole. 211.43.120.242 (talk) 14:12, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If that is the case, the article would need to be updated (with sources) to reflect that, as it currently describes it as a single forest. --Ahecht (TALK

    I think it already does describe it as multiple forests, but it's just unclear because of grammar and the telephone game played over 10+ years of people trying to fix the grammar over time and misunderstanding it.
    [1] this academic source describes it as a category, not as a single forest. [2] This source does too: Four gotjawal regions have been singled out for their well-preserved conditions -- Hankyung-Andeok Gotjawal and Aewol Gotjawal in the west, Jocheon- Hamdeok Gotjawal and Gujawa-Seongsan Gotjawal in the east.
    If the page communicates an impression of it being a single forest, it's incorrect. I was going to get around to rewriting the page anyway. Do I need to do that first before the rename? 211.43.120.242 (talk) 16:37, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kanjurmarg (currently a redirect to Kanjur Marg) → Kanjur Marg (move · discuss) – two different words 49.32.182.115 (talk) 15:10, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot see evidence of it being two words. Do you have a source for this? C F A 💬 17:19, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The official website and every other source I can find does not use a hyphen. Do you have a source for this? C F A 💬 17:19, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.
This page should also be unprotected. I fail to see why a single edit by an IP editor to change the redirect to the biography of a non-notable person warranted indefinite full protection. Should've been temporary semi-protected at best. --Ahecht (TALK
