Project page to request technical page moves Shortcuts

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 Misplaced Pages: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.

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

  • I don't think any of these are uncontroversial. Common usage takes precedence over official names. olderwiser 15:15, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
    Common usage is the correct orthography, actually. There are no WP:RS passing sources that would indicate the actual name is the mispelled version I am aware of, and the directory of official place names from the Hawaiian government is listed in each move request. In several cases the articles very consistently use the correct spelling throughout, with only the article name wrong (and only I rewrote Waikiki in that way, the rest were others), though I'll take this through a discussion process. Warrenᚋᚐᚊᚔ 15:27, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
    Many, perhaps even most reliable sources do not routinely use the okina. , , , , , , and so on. olderwiser 19:08, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
    Again, whole thing on the Hawaiʻi wikiproject on this going back quite a while, feel free to come over there. Keep in mind several Hawaiian newspapers and magazines use the correct orthography in print but not in online publications as it messes with Google indexing/ranking. That’s why this is uncontroversial among Wikipedians from the area (the actual people who know WP:COMMONNAME), though we’re trying to make and cite this case rather than going “trust us”. Warrenᚋᚐᚊᚔ 19:12, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
    A set of nearly identical moves was rejected less than two years ago, so in any case these moves are in no way uncontroversial. olderwiser 19:42, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
  • @Warrenmck Your requested moves have been contested. If you wish to continue, please open a full requested move discussion using the "discuss" links in your original requests. RachelTensions (talk) 03:00, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Don't WP:ENGVAR and MOS:RETAIN apply? Minor spelling variations are not really different names. Note that Gray hawk does not use the IOC's spelling. See prior discussions at Talk:Gray hawk. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:36, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

@OrdinaryScarlett Quick search shows that sources are using the long name as well. Full RM might be needed to due no clear common name. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 14:37, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

@DareshMohan There seems to be no primary between the two films. @Wbm1058: recently moved an article away from this title. So this is not uncontroversial, full RM is required ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 15:05, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

@Mvcg66b3r You yourself just filed the AfD on WNYT (internet radio) three minutes before requesting the move here. I suggest to wait until the AfD is closed before we start moving the pages around. cyberdog958 05:33, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
@Tstcikhthys1 I am contesting all of these "alternate" to "alternative" moves, as they are not uncontroversial and should go through a full move discussion to determine the COMMONNAME of their subjects. Toadspike 13:05, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
See for instance the third footnote of Alternate history, which reads Brave New Words: The Oxford Dictionary of Science Fiction (Oxford University Press, 2007) notes the preferred usage is "Alternate History", which was coined in 1954; "Alternative History" was first used in 1977, pp. 4–5. This directly contradicts the claim that British sources prefer "alternative". Toadspike 13:08, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages has dealt with this terminology issue in the past. At Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Albums there have been several flips over the years about what to call an extra album cover used in other countries and the like. Sometimes it was "Alternate cover" but it is currently "Alternative cover" (see Template:Infobox album). The earliest such discussion I can find was way back in 2009 at Template talk:Infobox album/Archive 5#Mistake, and note the dictionary definitions like those brought up by the requester here. So no matter how messy they may be, these requests have some precedents. All will be controversial, regardless. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:17, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Yes, but MOS:COMMONALITY is clear that if both are valid, then alternative should be chosen. Tstcikhthys1 (talk) 23:47, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

@Iskandar323 Both names seem to be used in books, but news articles and general google searches show results for Kilshon, not Pitchfork. Full RM might be needed for more comments. (please ping on reply) ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 16:20, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

@Iskandar323 Not uncontroversial, previously moved in opposite direction . Toadspike 18:27, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
@Hemant Dabral WP:COMMONNAME seems to be without the accent, all sources in article use it without the acccent. (please ping on reply) ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 07:05, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

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.
