Have participated in handful of RMs in past year, as well as at MRV. I've only come to RMTR once, but otherwise would be useful for disambiguation purposes. As I often create the disambig first, in order to justify a page moving away from ptopic; this often leaves me with having to swap the disambig page with the redirect and visa versa afterwards, when I simply need to perform a swap. I've otherwise closed RMs before, and would probably close more that aren't too controversial, but am often restricted due to the need to overwrite a redirect. ] (]) 12:54, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
:I have been frequently moving pages for a while now and the redirects created from these moves has been causing me pains (as a college student), since I was not able to CSD-G7 some of these redirects I have made. And this problem is even more annoying than it was while I'm a WikiProject AfC participant and as a new page reviewer (in a trial run - round robin moves are probably necessary in case there is some page that have drafts which got published without getting accepted by AfC). This is why I'm requesting this right.

:There are currently many redirect pages for alternative names of the localities, and after attempting some uncontroversial/technical moves lately - I've not been able to do so, since there are redirect pages blocking such moves.

:*:{{re|SMcCandlish}} Hey! The matter has developed a bit since I made this request - the original move discussion on ] was closed without result, I asked for some advice on how to move forward (on the same talk page), and have attempted to break up the request into a number of smaller sample move discussions as a way to move forward, however in the end an RfC for a naming convention may be necessary. Some of the individual move requests have resulted in moves (], ]), one was closed without result (] , which I've found a bit problematic with regard to the canvassing that took place in this and related discussions, as well as filibustering/status quo stonewalling. I've tried to get some feedback from admins about the matter and how to proceed: ) while most of the move requests are still pending (], ], ], ], ], ], ], ]). I understand that this is a contentious issue so I've tried to move with caution and I don't intend to go ahead with a mass move without consensus to do so, both to take the controversial nature of the matter and the discretionary sanctions into account, and to make sure I follow Misplaced Pages guidelines in general when dealing with the issue.
:*:Regarding ] and ] - to be clear, what I have suggested is to move the articles for the concerned localities to their likely common names, while they are currently largely set to their official names. After a couple of move discussions, I've seen the benefit of supplying as many reliable sources as possible to back up the argument that a name is indeed a common name, however because of the small size of many of the villages concerned, reliable English-language sources mentioning the villages at all, using any name, can sometimes be hard to find. I've also taken from ] that Google search tests, despite their issues are permissible to utilize in order to determine the common name of a locality when there are multiple local names for a place, and so I've utilized tests for Google and Google Scholar in my requests. ] (]) 12:14, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

:I've been in Misplaced Pages in four years, and I've good experience of editing.

:I've moved some pages in accordance with naming conventions. In one of my moves, I tried to do uncontroversial move to comply with the naming convention, but was occupied by a redirect. Such redirect had to be done with "round-robin" swap move, which only users with page mover right can do. I had to request on ]. This would solve this hassle if I have this permission, as long I can do within guidelines.

:I've precipitated on ] with consensus. But the move was delayed for the same reason.

:* '''Comment''': The moves I see mostly look sensible and non-controversial, except that the Skandiabanken/Sbanken mess should not have happened, and it was the second such move predicated on ], which Stylez995 should re-read. The gist of it is that WP does not put stock in what's "official", but what is most common in independent, reliable sources. When something has changed name in the real world, it often takes months or even longer for WP to catch up, and this is by design not by accident. Such moves should almost always go to full RM discussion, since people will want to provide ] evidence one way or the other. If the editor has learned this already, then I wouldn't have an concerns, I don't think. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — ] ] ] 😼 </span> 06:25, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
:*:{{reply to|SMcCandlish}} On Skandiabanken / Sbanken case, I realised I did it by mistake, and I reverted my own move.

Other times, an administrator notices the proposal and implements it. Some of these could probably have been undiscussed bold moves and not required discussion at all.
