Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Misplaced Pages. For information on retitling files, categories, and other items, see § When not to use this page.

Before moving a page or requesting a move, please review the article titling policy and the guidelines on primary topics.

Any autoconfirmed user can move a page using the "Move" option in the editing toolbar; see how to move a page for more information. If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page. However, it may not always be possible or desirable to do this:

  • Technical reasons may prevent a move; for example, a page may already exist at the target title and require deletion, or the page may be protected from moves. In such cases, see § Requesting technical moves.
  • Requests to revert recent, undiscussed, controversial moves may be made at WP:RM/TR. If the new name has not become the stable title, the undiscussed move will be reverted. If the new name has become the stable title, a requested move will be needed to determine the article's proper location.
  • A title may be disputed, and discussion may be necessary to reach consensus: see § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. The requested moves process is not mandatory, and sometimes an informal discussion at the article's talk page can help reach consensus.
  • A page should not be moved and a new move discussion should not be opened when there is already an open move request on a talk page. Instead, please participate in the open discussion.
  • Unregistered and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.

Requests are typically processed after seven days. If consensus supports the move at or after this time, a reviewer will perform it. If there is a consensus not to move the page, the request will be closed as "not moved." When consensus remains unclear, the request may be relisted to allow more time, or closed as "no consensus". See Misplaced Pages:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.

Misplaced Pages:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a move request as long as all steps are followed. If a discussion on the closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of the move discussion to determine whether or not the contested close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines.

When not to use this page

Shortcuts

Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:

Undiscussed moves

Shortcuts

Autoconfirmed editors may move a page without discussion if all of the following apply:

  • No article exists at the new target title;
  • There has been no previous discussion about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and
  • It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.

If you disagree with a prior bold move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move yourself. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons, then you may request a technical move.

Move wars are disruptive, so if you make a bold move and it is reverted, do not make the move again. Instead, follow the procedures laid out in § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.

Uncontroversial proposals

Only list here proposals that are clearly uncontroversial but require administrator help to complete. Things like capitalization and spelling mistakes would be appropriate here. If there is any prior discussion as to the name of the article please link to it. If there is any possibility that the proposed page move could be opposed by anyone, do not list it in this section. If the move location appears as a red link you should be able to move the article using the move button of the top of the article's page (unless your account is less than 4 days old) and don't need to use this page.

Please list new requests at the bottom and use {{subst:WP:RM2|Old page name|Requested name|Reason for move}}; do not copy, paste, and edit previous entries. No dated sections are necessary, and no templates on the article's talk page are necessary. Do not sign yourself — the template will do it for you.

If your request was not fulfilled, and was removed from this section, please relist it in the #Other proposals section below.

  • Chabad-Lubavitch → Chabad. Per naming guidelines. Chabad is the most common by far, we always use the most commonly used name, see talk. Furthermore, it is not clear what the official name of organisation, since it is fragmented and there is no evidence that Chabad-Lubavitch is the official name anyway. What is more, even if it was the official name , we still wouldn't use it, per above. I did a survey and found that Chabad was the most common name, and Chabad-Lubavitch was much less so.

Incomplete and contested proposals

If a requested move is incomplete (not all steps of the procedure are followed), or if anyone objects to an "uncontroversial" proposal, it should be listed here until the proposer or anyone else completes it. After the completion, please move the entry to the top of "other proposals" section. Please place newly moved requests to the top of this list, and either sign (~~~~) or just put the timestamp (~~~~~) at the end. Proposals that remain here longer than 5 days are subject to removal.

Comment: Disambiguation might be appropriate for Joe Morgan (manager) and Joe Morgan.--orlady 16:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Clearly a contested rename. I'd suggest simply withdrawing the nomination. Several months ago an editor changed the dab page to a redirect. I reverted back to the dab change and added a few more from a quick search. The name is quite common and many of these are notable enough for an article. Vegaswikian 23:14, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Ahmed Kamal, the cricketer, still appears to be more prominent than the Egyptologist. We needn't follow the example of the German Misplaced Pages, particularly since cricket is more popular in English-speaking areas than the German Sprachraum. --Stemonitis 17:31, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • GFS Marketplace 400 → 3M Performance 400 — In a complex juggling of naming rights, the first race of the year at this track, formerly known as the 3M Performance 400, was renamed the Citizens Bank 400. But, the second race of the year, previously the GFS Marketplace 400, was renamed the 3M Performance 400. To keep the race histories straight, the page should be moved as noted, but since there used to be a previous 3M Performance 400, I can't do it. Thanks. —Airline 01:43, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Other proposals

All of the proposals listed below need to have a discussion set up on talk page of the article to be moved. Please use the template {{subst:WP:RM|Old Page Name|Requested name|Reason for move}} and, if necessary, create a new dated section.

Please use the correct template: see the instructions above. Do NOT attempt to copy and paste formatting from another listing.

Golmud is used name in English. Consistency with the main article Golmud.
  • Cinematic genre → Film genre —(Discuss)— The academic term is 'film genre". Also the category is "category:film genre." In addition the common usage term is "film genre." Google has 574,000 hits for "film genre" and 27,000 hits for "cinematic genre." I have a degree from U.S.C. school of cinema and I promise this is the right term. —Cott12 Talk 13:21, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • NUMB3RS → Numb3rs —(Discuss)— This is a no-brainer, but after looking at the talk page I thought it would be better doing the full request. It doesn't matter if the "official" title uses all capitals, WP:MOSCAP and WP:MOSTM says normal capitalization should be used regardless of what the trademark holder wants, I have no problem with the 3 in the title though. —TJ Spyke 03:15, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Planck's law of black body radiation → Planck's law —(Discuss)— First, most textbooks do not use "Planck's law of blackbody radiation" to identify the law. Several shorter variants ("Planck's law", "Planck's radiation formula", etc.) are generally used. "Planck's law" itself is used by the Rybicki and Lightman reference in this article. Second, this is the only law (or at least the most well-known law) named after Max Planck. Planck's law itself is currently a redirect to this article. This article simply does not need such a lengthy name. —Dr. Submillimeter 09:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Road safety camera → Vehicle detection camera —(Discuss)— Concerns have been expressed that 'Road safety camera' fails NPOV. The initial suggestion was 'Road rule enforcement camera' but that, whilst NPOV, is illogical since the cameras detect but do not enforce (that is the authorities' job) and there is no such legal provision as a road rule (there are laws and regulations but not rules). Consequently, I am proposing the new title that seems both NPOV and accurate. I am neutral since I am quite happy with the existing title since though, arguably, it is not NPOV, it is the official name in several jurisdictions, and seems fine to me. I invite comments .... —BlueValour 22:08, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Sioux Uprising → Dakota War of 1862 —(Discuss)— Current title is misleading--most academic institutes (including the Minnesota Historical Society) now refer to it as something other than the Sioux Uprising, preferring a more neutral title. Good suggestions/reasons-why to move the page have been discussed for years now, and generally agreed upon. —oncamera 06:10, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Also another user recently changed it to have the "(town and municipality)" when its not needed since there is no other Inirida is wikipedia, and Inirida is not a town is a city, and in Colombia, municipalities and cities are the same, so its redundant.mijotoba 18:36, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
