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.

the - 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.

Technical requests
Edit this section if you want to move a request from Uncontroversial to Contested.
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Flag of Birmingham (England) (currently a redirect to Flag of Birmingham) → Flag of Birmingham (move · discuss) – Birmingham article provides precedent that Birmingham UK articles do not have a country qualifier at the end, and other potential targets are listed in an about template at the top of the page. Buttons0603 (talk) 20:37, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Touro College and University System (currently a redirect to Touro University System) → Touro University (move · discuss) – Charter was amended; Touro College is now Touro University. See Touro College Granted University Status by New York State Board of Regents PuzzledvegetableIs it teatime already? 21:04, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- But what about all the other institutions called Touro University and listed at the target title? Dr. Vogel (talk) 05:14, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Is there evidence for one being a clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC? If not, Touro University should remain a disamb page, but Touro College and University System should still be renamed to something else. -Kj cheetham (talk) 08:13, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
Oh neat, this unearthed a duplicate article. I was going to suggest Touro University, New York, but lo and behold there's already an article there about the same topic. It has the same picture and everything.Oops, actually one is just part of the other. The naming of these is going to be difficult. Even outside of Wikipedia, how does it work that the institution renamed the larger system to be the same as the smaller part? -- Fyrael (talk) 18:43, 7 April 2022 (UTC)- I thought exactly the same myself at first! Maybe Touro University, New York should be Touro College?? The disamb page saying "Touro University is a division of Touro College" just confused me though! -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:18, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- cool, so what do you guys want to do with this one then? Dr. Vogel (talk) 15:16, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Puzzledvegetable, are you able to comment on this? If not, full RM might be the answer to get more eyes on it. -Kj cheetham (talk) 18:45, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Administrator needed
- Edit this section if a request requires an administrator (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place the request in another section if it only requires a page mover's permissions.
Contested technical requests
- 2020 Canadian pipeline and railway protests → Wetʼsuwetʼen opposition to the Coastal GasLink Pipeline (restricted by the titleblacklist, which page movers can override) (move · discuss) – I've tried to move it as per Talk page discussion, but get an error message telling me the new title "matches an entry (?!(User" James Hyett (talk) 15:00, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- The article also covers protests not involving the Wetʼsuwetʼen, though. 162 etc. (talk) 19:11, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- I would personally oppose the suggested title per the above and per WP:CONCISE. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 20:30, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- I don't think this is the appropriate forum for discussing the proposal, please bring your comments to the talk page, we'd appreciate more input.James Hyett (talk) 22:19, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Ford Maverick (2022) → Ford Maverick (pickup truck) (currently a redirect back to Ford Maverick (2022)) (move · discuss) – Per talk page, more understandable and less time-dependent. Andra Febrian (talk) 14:10, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- I see there are a couple of editors disagreeing on the use of model year, production year or "pickup truck", meaning this might be better left to a full discussion to ensure we settle on the right title, though the discussion is somewhat stale at this point. ASUKITE 20:19, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Draft:Kyle Rittenhouse is invalid. Must create Draft:Kyle Rittenhouse before requesting that it be moved to Kyle Rittenhouse.– It's been in the draft space long enough. I think a real article would be beneficial. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 22:02, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Is this really uncontroversial? For this article not to exist in mainspace yet, there must at one point have been significant discussion about whether or not the person merits an article, the answer apparently having been "no". Lennart97 (talk) 22:24, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Also, the article goes against WP:ONEEVENT which is the reason why the redirect exists in the first place. Not a major enough figure outside of the single event he was involved in to merit an article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:11, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose This should first get consensus on the main talk page that there is enough information to justify a WP:SPLIT. Not by forcing a draft into mainspace. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 12:44, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves
- 11th Michigan Infantry Regiment (reorganized) (currently a redirect to 11th Michigan Infantry Regiment (Reorganized)) → 11th Michigan Infantry Regiment (Reorganized) (move · discuss) – Revert undiscussed move. This is not truly a disambiguator in the usual Wikipedia style; this should be discussed for consistency across all such similar pages. If I can spare having to repeat the same kind of request multiple times, this should also be done with all similar pages here. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 12:42, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- RandomCanadian In order to not mess this up at 12am, I'm still going to ask the full list of articles if you don't mind. From what I can see it's 1st Michigan Infantry Regiment (3 Months), 1st Michigan Infantry Regiment (3 Years), 4th Missouri Infantry Regiment (3 months, 1861),
4th Missouri Infantry Regiment (Union), 5th Missouri Infantry Regiment (3 months, 1861),5th Missouri Infantry Regiment (Union), 3rd Michigan Infantry Regiment (Reorganized), 4th Michigan Infantry Regiment (Reorganized), 11th Michigan Infantry Regiment (Reorganized) that need to be reverted. Have I missed any or can some of these stay as they are? Thanks. ~StyyxTalk? 21:42, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
