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:..."

  • 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

Edit this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.
  • Pomona–Downtown station → Pomona Transit Center (currently a redirect back to Pomona–Downtown station) (move · discuss) – This is the official name of the station, and other American train stations named "Transit Center" (such as Oceanside Transit Center) are named in this same manner on Wikipedia. OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 01:19, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not sure what the best thing is here... it seems like the common name for the Amtrak station is just "Pomona", while the MetroLink station is called "Pomona–Downtown". Not seeing that much coverage for "Pomona Transit Center", do you have sources confirming that? There are also Pomona stations elsewhere, so I wonder if the present name is just the best, as a sort of
    WP:NATURALDIS and it is the name of the MetroLink after all...  — Amakuru (talk) 11:49, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply

  • Stygiomedusa → Stygiomedusa gigantea (currently a redirect back to Stygiomedusa) (move · discuss) – article title is Genus yet contents are of Species Phantomjelly (talk) 11:36, 10 June 2024 (UTC) Phantomjelly (talk) 11:36, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This species is the only member of its genus, therefore per the guidelines at
    WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA, the current name is the correct one - "the article (if there is no common name) should go under the scientific name of lowest rank, but no lower than the monotypic genus". Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 12:15, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply
    ]
  • Bank of New South Wales v Commonwealth → Bank Nationalisation Case (currently a redirect back to Bank of New South Wales v Commonwealth) (move · discuss) – Bank Nationalisation Case is the common name for two cases: Bank of New South Wales v Commonwealth and the appeal case of Commonwealth v Bank of New South Wales. Previously there were two stub pages that I merged into one page. As there is no need to disambiguate the pages now, the common name of Bank Nationalisation Case should be used. I don't think I can move it, as it currently redirects to Bank of New South Wales v Commonwealth Safes007 (talk) 14:00, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
Not sure if that's a strong enough argument to declare the politician to be the
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC over the music project. That music article could be expanded, and the current name-only redirect could become a new disambig page, IMO. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 00:41, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply

I created a dab at the base page name purely as a procedural matter to avoid
WP:MISPLACED while this technical move request is being discussed. I have no opinion on the primary topic. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 02:22, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply

potentially controversial, so it would require a requested-move discussion, which you can begin by clicking "discuss" on your request. You can remove this request after opening a discussion (or if you do not want to continue). SilverLocust 💬 06:39, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply

Could the music project be expanded? I was looking into its background just out of curiosity, I'd say it barely even qualifies a page of its own. But the disambig page is a fine solution. SusImposter49 (talk) 12:07, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator needed

Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been
move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover
