Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests
Appearance
The discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. 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 add the following code at the top of the sub-section Uncontroversial technical requests below:
{{subst:RMassist|<!--old page name, without brackets-->|<!--requested name, without brackets-->|<!--reason for move-->}}
- This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Do not edit the article's talk page.
- If you object to a proposal listed in Uncontroversial technical requests, please move it to the Contested technical requests section below.
- If your technical request is contested by another editor, remove the request from the Contested technical requests section and follow the instructions at Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.
- Alternatively, if the only obstacle to an uncontroversial move is another page in the way, you can request the other page be deleted. 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
- Ayios Andronikos (Topsiou Keuy) → Agios Andronikos (Topçuköy) (move) (discuss) – ELOT transliteration per WP:GREEK, rv outmoded rendering of the Turkish name – 213.7.56.181 (talk) 11:05, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- Austrian Federal Government → Cabinet of Austria (move) (discuss) – The article doesn't describe the Austrian federal government as a whole, it describes the Bundesregierung, i.e. the cabinet. The intro explicitly says it's a cabinet that's the subject of the article. The page lists itself under "Executive" in the infobox, is in the National cabinets category, and uses the National cabinets of Europe navigation template. Every other article in the template is named Cabinet of XXX. Comprehensive articles on the other branches of the Austrian federal government and their constitutional frameworks do exist. – Damvile (talk) 08:48, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- Cat vs. Rat → Cat vs Rat (move) (discuss) – As can be seen from the film poster (as well as from the film), the film name has no dot. – Timmyshin (talk) 10:05, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- 2001 DH47 → (385250) 2001 DH47 (move) (discuss) – This asteroid has been numbered. – JorisvS (talk) 12:51, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
