Project page to request technical page moves

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request a technical move 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 "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.

  • Please make sure you really need technical assistance before making a request here. In particular, if the target page is a redirect back to the source page that has only one revision, you can usually move the page normally.
  • 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.
  • To request a reversion of a recent undiscussed move: Review the guidelines at WP:RMUM of whether a reversion of an undiscussed move qualifies as uncontroversial and if so, edit the Requests to revert undiscussed moves 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. Note that in some cases, clerks, such as administrators or page movers may determine that your request for a reversion does not pass the criteria and may move the request to the contested section or open a formal requested move discussion for potentially controversial moves on your behalf.
  • 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. A bot will automatically remove contested requests after 72 hours of inactivity.

Technical requests

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

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed in this section.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves a technical request for reverting a recent undiscussed move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if they have been contested.


@Cloudz679 There are four moves in the article (not talk) history between Tasos and Anastasios. If this specific talk page is to be believed, none of them have been discussed. Are we sure we want to move the talk and not the article? In solidarity, Iseult Δx talk to me 05:54, 24 July 2026 (UTC) reply
It may look like a curly quote unless you have very good glasses, but I think it is an ʻOkina, also known as a Modifier letter turned comma. I left a message for User:Kwamikagami who may know what an Okina is. No opinion myself on the move. EdJohnston (talk) 16:03, 24 July 2026 (UTC) reply
Oh yeah. That's what I was thinking of. 1isall (talk | contribs) 00:04, 25 July 2026 (UTC) reply
Not a curly quote, but fakauʻa , a letter of the Tongan alphabet. Our 'no curly quotes' rule only applies to formatting punctuation. MOS:APOSTROPHE spells this out. — kwami (talk) 06:05, 25 July 2026 (UTC) reply
Yep, this is what I meant. 1isall (talk | contribs) 11:49, 25 July 2026 (UTC) reply
@Gotitbro The recent move (January) was from 'people' to 'peoples'. Opinions differ, why not open a full move discussion? EdJohnston (talk) 15:42, 24 July 2026 (UTC) reply
@EdJohnston: Just seeing how similar ethnolinguistic groups are titled in India, I think a ready case is made here to not need an extensive RM. Gotitbro (talk) 20:57, 24 July 2026 (UTC) reply
@Ethmostigmus A formal merge request may be a good idea, especially if deletion may be a favored option instead, then we can clear the way for the Gulella article (or whatever gets decided) ASUKITE 02:48, 25 July 2026 (UTC) reply
you changed the article content to support the new title, so this is not an uncontroversial technical request. Please seek consensus via Requested Move by Clicking the discuss button above. In solidarity, Destinyokhiria (talk / cont ) 03:01, 26 July 2026 (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.
