If any of the following apply to a desired move, treat it as potentially controversial:
- There is an existing article (not just a redirect) at the target title;
- There has been any past debate about the best title for the page;
- Someone could reasonably disagree with the move.
If a desired move is uncontroversial and technical in nature (e.g. spelling), please feel free to move the page yourself. If the page has recently been moved without discussion, you may revert the move and initiate a discussion on its talk page. In either case, if you are unable to complete the move, request it below.
- To list a technical request, go to the bottom of this section that you are reading right now; edit the subsection Uncontroversial technical requests; insert the following code at the top:
{{subst:RMassist|<!--old page name, without brackets-->|<!--requested name, without brackets-->|reason= <!--reason for 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 it to the Contested technical requests section.
- If your technical request is contested by another editor, please remove it from the contested technical requests section and follow the instructions at Requesting potentially controversial moves.
- Alternatively, if the only obstacle to an uncontroversial move is another page in the way, you can ask for the deletion of the other page. This may apply, for example, if the other page is currently a redirect to the article to be moved, a redirect with no incoming links, or an unnecessary disambiguation page with a minor edit history. To request the other page be deleted, add the following code to the top of the page that is in the way:
{{db-move|<!--page to be moved here-->|<!--reason for move-->}}
- This will list the undesired page for deletion under criterion for speedy deletion G6. If the page is a redirect, place the code above the redirection. For a list of articles being considered for uncontroversial speedy deletion, see Category:Candidates for uncontroversial speedy deletion.
Uncontroversial technical requests
- List_of_works_available_under_a_Creative_Commons_license → List of notable Creative Commons licensed works (move · discuss) – The article currently has a ambiguous name that might indicate the creation of of an exhaustive list of CC licensed works. There are over 800 million of these works. Also Misplaced Pages is not in the business to make these kinds of lists. – Martsniez (talk) 10:03, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
- Indian Agent (Canada) → Indian agent (Canada) (move · discuss) – per MOSCAPS – Primergrey (talk) 21:40, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
- Gold Commissioner → Gold commissioner (move · discuss) – per MOSCAPS – Primergrey (talk) 21:49, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

- Bamar people → Burmans (move · discuss) – Present title is extremely rare in RS, and the common name for the group is "Burmans". WP:CONCISE, too. – RGloucester — ☎ 03:33, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
- Bandai Namco Games → Bandai Namco Entertainment (move · discuss) – Company name changes from Bandai Namco Games to Bandai Namco Entertainment in April 1, 2015. – AdrianGamer (talk) 12:10, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
- Charles Francis Adams, Jr. → Charles Francis Adams Jr. (move · discuss) – Rm comma per WP:JR. – Dicklyon (talk) 03:54, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
- These moves should be discussed and not done as non controversial. A similar move was just rejected by the community here for example. Calidum ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 11:58, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
