Project page to request technical page moves

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:..."

If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

  • If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please submit it for review at Articles for creation, by adding the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft or user sandbox page instead of listing it here.
  • Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself.
  • If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.
  • 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.
Oppose. I've restored the primary redirect at Vices and Virtues. WP:ONEOTHER; the Panic! at the Disco album is a clear primary topic. "and" / "&" is not sufficient disambiguation. 162 etc. (talk) 20:07, 22 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
This one doesn't work, since "Nickelodeon" can also refer to unrelated topics. See Nickelodeon (disambiguation). In fact, Nickelodeon (UK and Ireland), Nickelodeon (Middle East and North Africa), and Nickelodeon (Sub-Saharan Africa) should be reverted back to their stable titles. 162 etc. (talk) 01:39, 21 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
@Yeagvr Okay, I'm contesting this because the original move rationale (concise) makes sense. It is a railway station, but that doesn't have to be in the title. Toadspike [Talk] 10:24, 19 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
@SBKSPP Moving to contested as there is no response to Sammi's question. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 18:10, 19 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
@Hemant Dabral Are you able to prove that it is the WP:COMMONNAME because of google scholar, it shows up as a pair as being both. Agrahayana is also mentioned more than the latter on Scholar. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 18:10, 19 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
@Akshadev This is clearly not the name used by the Centre itself [2]. This WP:OFFICIALNAME can be overridden if you show a WP:COMMONNAME in sources, but the references in the article show no evidence of such a common name. Toadspike [Talk] 07:56, 21 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Regardless of whether the subject is Indian or not, MOS:INITS says to include the punctuation marks. Unless there is overwhelming evidence that independent reliable sources do not include dots for this subject, I would support this move per the Wikipedia Manual of Style. On the other hand, I am having trouble finding reliable sources that include the dots. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:37, 22 March 2025 (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.
