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

Administrator needed
Edit this section if your request requires an administrator (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.

Contested technical requests

Per MOS:HYPHENCAPS, Wikipedia does not ordinarily capitalize a word that follows a hyphen, so this appears to need discussion. Also, the article Rear admiral (Royal Navy) does not use a hyphen between "Rear" and "admiral", as well as not capitalizing "admiral". —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 09:00, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is a specific historic rank, not a generic one, so your example of Rear admiral (Royal Navy) does not apply. This would appear to be the exception to the general grammatical rule as well. Capitalisation appears to be inconsistent, but IMO the majority capitalise both parts. At the very least, all nine articles should be consistent.

@UnkreativeFrog: Per the article's content, the subject still seems untitled. Claiming that the film will be called "The Exorcist" currently seems to be WP:CRYSTAL. Steel1943 (talk) 06:39, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, do the sources say that that will definitely be the official name? If no, it's WP:CRYSTAL as Steel pointed out, and if yes, then it probably makes sense to update the article first. Dr. Vogel (talk) 22:27, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
