:::Agreed. For the controversial move like this, there has to be a priori consensus-building; for instance, from inputs from Wikiproject math. Since there was no prior discussion, it should be revered to the original location. -- ] (]) 15:11, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

**See also above "invalid" reason for wanting to move it back. Consideration from main contributior is a invalid reason (see ]). Appropraite wikiprojects get notified in mainspace.

Shortcuts 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

Since Misplaced Pages has no articles for any other films titled Open Fire, an even more WP:NCF-pertinent qualifier would appear to be Open Fire (film). —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 15:01, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
Note This is salted so it needs to be handled by an admin or someone with similar power. Emir of Misplaced Pages (talk) 13:28, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
