Appearance
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.

Uncontroversial technical requests
- Syllabification → Hyphenation (currently a redirect back to Syllabification) (move · discuss) – better corresponds to the content of the article, because it is about breaking up lines in writing; syllabification as separation of words into syllables is treated at Syllable#Syllabification. Daniel Bunčić (de wiki · talk · en contrib.) 11:17, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
- Talhah (currently a redirect to Talha ibn Ubayd Allah) → Talha (currently a redirect instead to Talha (name)) (move · discuss) – per https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/encyclopaedia-of-islam-2/talha-SIM_7362 and the more common usage in reliable sources (compare https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Talha+ibn+Ubayd+Allah%22&btnG= to https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Talhah+ibn+Ubayd+Allah%22&btnG=) ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 11:15, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Administrator needed
- Edit this section if a request requires an administrator (e.g., because the page to be moved is move-protected or the target is creation-protected). Place the request in another section if it only requires a page mover.
Contested technical requests
- Lake Crystal, Minnesota → Lake Crystal (currently a redirect back to Lake Crystal, Minnesota) (move · discuss) – There's only one other Lake Crystal, Lake Crystal (Blue Earth County, Minnesota), and that lake is clearly secondary to the city. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:14, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
- This is a city, so WP:USPLACE applies, and the state name has to stay. 162 etc. (talk) 04:00, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
