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: 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.

@Laterthanyouthink The latter page is at CPH PIX (without the colon). --Ahecht (TALK

And I'd argue that it should be at
MOS:ALLCAPS. 162 etc. (talk) 16:09, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply
]

Hmm, okay, I see. It seems that the DOX one does have the semi-colon, whereas PIX never did, as far as I can see. I have also now discovered that PIX had its last event in 2021 and is now defunct. Should I make this a RM to discuss further? Happy to go with whatever is decided, but CPH:DOX is the form that is used pretty much universally for this one.

Not uncontroversial. 162 etc. (talk) 15:42, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not particularly sure how it's controversial. Three out of four of the bolded names in the lead contain "football." The entire article uses the word "football." Neo Purgatorio (talk) 15:48, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because
Football (association football) could refer to the sport itself? 162 etc. (talk) 16:05, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply

Ishara (disambiguation) (currently a redirect to Ishara) → Ishara (move · discuss) – The former page occupying the name Ishara has been moved to Išḫara. The disambiguation page should instead be moved to the general page name. Antiquistik (talk) 16:54, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is likely correct now as a
partial title matches except to the extent they are known mononymously (which does appear to be the case with Namboothiri (artist)). SilverLocust 💬 03:31, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply

Israel in the Iran–Iraq War (currently a redirect to Israeli support for Iran during the Iran–Iraq war) → Israeli support for Iran during the Iran–Iraq war (move · discuss) – moving the article to its original title that is now a redirect. Damian Lew (talk) 19:44, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply
]
@
requested move with a substantive reason to prefer that title. SilverLocust 💬 20:41, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply
]
The article's title was unilaterally changed about 7-8 years ago without a substantial reason provided nor a request made. I've just now contested the move in the talk page of the article in question, citing that the previous title gave a more apt description of the article's content (as can be observed from the first sentence of the article) and it is more in line with other article titles from the same conflict, thus the move made years ago was wholly arbitrary. Damian Lew (talk) 22:12, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Present title is the most appropriate and neutral. Don't see any reason to opt for that overstretched and statement-like title. Any particular reason?--2409:4073:4EB5:4764:20AB:195D:66BE:84D1 (talk) 18:55, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current title is
WP:NATURAL disambiguation. SilverLocust 💬 23:01, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply
]
No, the current title was changed from the previous one, and now the network has decided to change it back. The title should once more be Lioness --> Lioness (TV series) --> Lioness (American TV series). We do not prefer to use the wrong title just because it makes titling Wikipedia articles very slightly more convenient. If you actually oppose this technical move, and didn't simply want to give your personal explanation of the current title that is feasible but unlikely, please move it to Contested technical requests. Cheers

I agree with SilverLocust. Best to retain the present title as natural disambiguation. It isn't "wrong", as that was the title of the first and only series so far and still retained on Paramount's website. If the common name in future drops the "Special Ops" to the point that it would be unusual and confusing to include it, we could think again, but for now I think it best to retain it. — Amakuru (talk) 14:39, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If it's not due to change until the 16th,then at least it should wait until then. Would also need evidence of source usage per

Pallar → Devendrakula Velalar (currently a redirect instead to Devendrakulam) (move · discuss) – Parliament Passes Bill To Classify 7 Scheduled Caste Groups Of Tamil Nadu As 'Devendrakula Velalars', having a page as pallar to refer as devendrakula Velalar is not right. It’s better to move this page as Devendrakula Velalar as it comprises 7 subcastes. The Indian Government parliament ammendment has been given for viewing where pallar and others 6 subcastes don’t exist in the government records.

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Page I want to move it to is currently a redirect. worldgiant (talk) 04:39, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Articles related to Indian castes are inherently controversial. – robertsky (talk) 09:40, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hittite mythology and religion → Hittite religion (currently a redirect back to Hittite mythology and religion) (move · discuss) – All comparable pages listed in Template:Ancient Near East topics are either "X religion" or "X mythology", but not "X mythology and religion", so the name should be changed to just one for consistency. The lead is already about the concept of Hittite religion, and "X religion" pages are more common than "X mythology", so I chose "Hittite religion". Hittite religion is also the much more common web search compared to Hittite mythology, and "Hittite mythology and religion" doesnt even show up: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Hittite+religion%2CHittite+mythology%2CHittite+mythology+and+religion&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3 Pogenplain (talk) 16:02, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I dunno, I think since the article covers both mythology and religion, topics that are often separate articles, I think it fair for the title to mention both. — Amakuru (talk) 23:01, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree with this, and have reverted the recent move from
Friesland (province). The province seems the primary topic for this Dutch/German term when rendered in English, given that the region is usually called Frisia. — Amakuru (talk) 13:45, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply

NBC → National Broadcasting Company (currently a redirect back to NBC) (move · discuss) – National Broadcasting Company is its legal name. If American Broadcasting Company is the title for ABC, I see why not we can change the article's name. Merv Mat (talk) 15:34, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no requirement for the article title to match the legal name. We use
WP:COMMONNAME. 162 etc. (talk) 15:43, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply
