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.

Technical requests

Uncontroversial technical requests

• 126th Armed Police Mobile Division (People's Republic of China) → 2nd Mobile Contingent (currently a redirect back to 126th Armed Police Mobile Division (People's Republic of China)) (move · discuss) – I previously accidentally made a redirect to the article called 2nd mobile contingent instead of moving it and basically 126th armed police division is the old name, it is now the 2nd mobile contingent. Not only that, for the old name "Mobile division" is also inaccurate as most reliable sources simply called it "Armed Police Division"; also the "(People's Republic of china)" is unneeded.

• Nakhichevan Khanate → Nakhchivan Khanate (currently a redirect back to Nakhichevan Khanate) (move · discuss) – The name of this khanate in 1747-1828 was Nakhchivan, while the name of the khanate indicated in the current title was formed after the transition under the control of the Russian Empire in 1828. Considering the fact that we are talking about a khanate that existed from 1747 to 1828, it would be correct to use the name "Nakhchivan Khanate" that corresponds to the original name of that period of time. Egl7 (talk) 14:25, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

  This is not uncontroversial at all. HistoryofIran (talk) 15:14, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

• Canada Permanent Trust Building → Canada Permanent Building (currently a redirect back to Canada Permanent Trust Building) (move · discuss) – Name on facade is "Canada Permanent Building." Also, the building was home to two companies: the Canada Permanent Mortgage Corporation and its subsidiary the Canada Permanent Trust Company, both of which went under the "Canada Permanent" name. The use of the "Canada Permanent Building" name reflected this. See Canada Permanent. Tsc9i8 (talk) 20:41, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

You previously requested this in July 2024 and it was contested; a wag of the finger for bringing this to WP:RMT when you know that it's not uncontroversial. Reliable sources use "Canada Permanent Trust Building". 162 etc. (talk) 22:38, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• WNYT (TV) → WNYT (move · discuss) – Primary topic; WP:SMALLDETAILS; no terrestrial radio station with this call sign; WNYT (internet radio) just got AFDed Mvcg66b3r (talk) 04:46, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
  • WNYT → WNYT (disambiguation)

@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)

• Mộc Châu town → Mộc Châu (currently a redirect back to Mộc Châu town) (move · discuss) – Pages about Vietnamese towns typically do not include the suffix "town" at the end of their names. Khanh Nguyen (talk) 11:36, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

@Khanh Nguyen Same as above, (please ping on reply) ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 16:14, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

• Operation Kilshon → Operation Pitchfork (currently a redirect back to Operation Kilshon) (move · discuss) – Move to common name in English, as abundant in sources – https://www.google.com/search?udm=36&q=%22operation+pitchfork%22 – and away from the current wiki-invented bilingual mash-up of a title Iskandar323 (talk) 18:51, 3 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 Your requested move has been contested. If you wish to continue, please open a full requested move discussion using the "discuss" link in your original request. RachelTensions (talk) 02:58, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• R (L) v Comr of Police of the Metropolis → R (L) v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis (currently a redirect back to R (L) v Comr of Police of the Metropolis) (move · discuss) – Unnecessary abbreviation. Hairy Dude (talk) 17:07, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

  @Hairy Dude This page has a fairly lengthy move history; the most recent move summary was "since case is post-2000, this is indeed the correct format per OSCOLA". I'm going to contest this and suggest you go through a full move discussion if you still think this move should happen. Toadspike 18:09, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

• Chyah airstrike → 2006 Shiyyah airstrike (currently a redirect back to Chyah airstrike) (move · discuss) – Dating title per WP:NCWWW and defaulting place name spelling to both common usage and the standardised in-wiki style for Arabic transliteration Iskandar323 (talk) 13:38, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

  @Iskandar323 While I agree with the spelling change based on the sources cited in the article, this page has been moved nine times already, including from "2006 Shiyyah airstrike" to "Shiyyah airstrike" (with the reason "per convention of removing year") and then to "Chyah airstrike". This means this request is not uncontroversial and must go through a full move discussion. Toadspike 18:20, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

  Ok, didn't realise. Just checked the talk and saw no discussions. Iskandar323 (talk) 19:23, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

  @Iskandar323 Your requested move has been contested. If you wish to continue, please open a full requested move discussion using the "discuss" link in your original request. RachelTensions (talk) 02:59, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Muwatta Imam Malik → Al-Muwatta (currently a redirect back to Muwatta Imam Malik) (move · discuss) – The work has a shorter, just as precise colloquial and more common form that is actually more likely to be recognised as the name of a work, rather than potentially be confused with the name of an individual. I went to move this myself, but was inhibited for some technical reason. Iskandar323 (talk) 18:53, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

@Iskandar323 Not uncontroversial, previously moved in opposite direction . Toadspike 18:27, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

• Mahe district → Mahé district (currently a redirect back to Mahe district) (move · discuss) – WP:CONSISTENT eponymous to the city Mahé, India, itself named after Mahé River. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 06:14, 5 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)

@Hemant Dabral Your requested move has been contested. If you wish to continue, please open a full requested move discussion using the "discuss" link in your original request. RachelTensions (talk) 02:59, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Pasunuri Dayakar → Pasunoori Dayakar (currently a redirect back to Pasunuri Dayakar) (move · discuss) – As per the Lok Sabha website {{{sig}}}Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 05:58, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

WP:COMMONNAME seems to be Pasunuri, sources say so. (please ping on reply) ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 07:05, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

@Pharaoh of the Wizards Your requested move has been contested. If you wish to continue, please open a full requested move discussion using the "discuss" link in your original request. RachelTensions (talk) 02:59, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Budapest Aircraft Service → BASe Airlines (move · discuss) – This airline has been officially renamed and no longer uses its former brand on its official website 2001:A61:1209:4001:F480:594C:9BE1:F00A (talk) 10:50, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

  We'd need to see some evidence that the stipulations of WP:NAMECHANGES are met for this one. It isn't just a qwuestion of what the official website does, we need sourcing evidence too. Also, "BASe Airlines" is not terribly recognizable.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:56, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

  @2001:A61:1209:4001:F480:594C:9BE1:F00A Your requested move has been contested. If you wish to continue, please open a full requested move discussion using the "discuss" link in your original request. RachelTensions (talk) 02:59, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Thiruvananthapuram Corporation → Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation (currently a redirect back to Thiruvananthapuram Corporation) (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME, WP:CONSISTENT with other municipal articles. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 07:35, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

  I'm seeing just as many sources listing it as "Thiruvananthapuram Corporation" as "Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation". All other things being equal, the shorter name is preferred.  — Amakuru (talk) 13:00, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

  the municipal website lists the name as Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 23:37, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

• SIG MCX Spear → SIG MCX-SPEAR (currently a redirect back to SIG MCX Spear) (restricted by the titleblacklist, which page movers can override) (move · discuss) – Page for the new correct article title already exists as a redirect and needs to be deleted. New article title is the correct name. Bmon94 (talk) 11:17, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

@Bmon94 WP:TITLETM exists for these particular cases, only exception is if the all-caps is a common name, it lies on the borderline for this particular case based on my searches. Please open an RM with the discuss button if you want to continue this. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:20, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Union Station (Los Angeles) → Los Angeles Union Station (currently a redirect back to Union Station (Los Angeles)) (move · discuss) – Per WP:NATDIS. OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 02:43, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

@OrdinaryScarlett Per your own discussion on the talk page and the remarks made by Mackensen, your move request isn't uncontroversial and a full RM would be needed. cyberdog958 05:26, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Ah shoot, my bad. Got confused. OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 12:26, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

• Timing belt (camshaft) → Timing belt (currently a redirect instead to Toothed belt) (move · discuss) – This is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of that term with more than double the page views of the article 'toothed belt' (also known as 'timing belt'. PK2 (talk; contributions) 06:42, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

@PK2 Looking at the page history, it has been moved in the opposite direction before so a full RM would be required to determine consensus for the move. cyberdog958 07:54, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

• Rest House → Rest House (film) (currently a redirect back to Rest House) (move · discuss) – This page was originally created at Rest House (film), but was moved as the page Rest House did not then exist. However, I believe this was done incorrectly, as the page Rest House should redirect to Guest House, these two terms being synonyms. Most people who search wikipedia for the term "Rest House" are likely to seeking information on lodging, rather than infomation about a more than 50 year old movie. I propose to move the current page and have the main page redirect to guest house. --LK (talk) 06:44, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

@Lawrencekhoo Wanting to move the page away for a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT is not uncontroversial and is going to need a full RM. cyberdog958 07:54, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

• Magical Taruruto → Magical Taruruto-kun (currently a redirect back to Magical Taruruto) (move · discuss) – The series has so many title variations that it's confusing, but the addition of the -kun suffix is the most common way the title is given throughout the internet and within the series' fandom. The anime, the bulk of the series' popularity, has never been officially available in the west, and the MangaPlanet release isn't as widely known. The archived Toei Animation external link includes numerous grammatical errors and the English website (both current and archived) have very inconsistent names for other titles and descriptions (Goldfish Warning! being Goldfish Forecast, for example). RetroNova (talk) 01:25, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

@RetroNova This article has been moved seven times in the past, including away from the title you're proposing. This means the move is not uncontroversial and cannot be performed here without discussion.
