Contested technical requests
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
- All the Brothers Were Valiant (1953 film) (currently a redirect to All the Brothers Were Valiant) → All the Brothers Were Valiant (move · discuss) – Need to revert undiscussed move that created a duplicate dab page. — Gorthian (talk) 20:07, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Gorthian: Not sure if this was the desired outcome, the original disambiguation page has now been moved to All the Brothers Were Valiant. If you want I can replace the disambiguation page with a primary topic. Or simply leave the disambiguation page there now the duplication is resolved. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 20:56, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Frayae: No, I just wanted the 1953 film at the plain title like it was. All the Brothers Were Valiant (disambiguation) has been the dab page for years, and should stay right where it is. I’ll take care of formatting it for the primary topic. The only page that should be moved is the original one I asked for. — Gorthian (talk) 21:07, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
