Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

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, 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.

• Polish Constitutional Court crisis, 2015 → Polish constitutional crisis, 2015 (move · discuss) – page was moved without a prior WP:RM discussion though clearly controversial – HerkusMonte (talk) 07:01, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You asked for "consensus", you got consensus, the page was moved, per consensus. The fact that you don't like this consensus after the fact is your problem.Volunteer Marek (talk) 07:56, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide a link to a related WP:RM discussion, a discussion on the talk page about the "article name" (without even suggesting a new name) is not the way controversial moves are dealt with. And please read WP:RMCI; an involved editor is not the one to decide when consensus is reached. And certainly not after just 32 hours (WP:RMNAC: "Non-admin closes normally require that: The consensus or lack thereof is clear after a full listing period (seven days))".

You are wikilawyering. One person moved the article. You moved it back demanding "consensus". Then two other people agree with the new title and moved the article again. You kept moving it back, three times, i.e. move-warring against consensus (the very consensus you asked for). What you are effectively asking for here, is for other people to move-war on your behalf. There's an RM on the talk page currently. Let it run its course and we'll see.Volunteer Marek (talk) 08:27, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RMNAC: "Non-admin closes normally require that: The consensus or lack thereof is clear after a full listing period (seven days)". There was no consensus, there wasn't even a proper discussion and an involved editor is not the one to decide when consensus is reached . Seriously, WP:IGNOREALLRULES is fine but one shouldn't overplay. HerkusMonte (talk) 08:42, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RMNAC: "Experienced and uninvolved registered editors in good standing are allowed to close requested move surveys. Any non-admin closure must be explicitly declared with template (...) placed directly after the reasoning for the close within the (...) template. ....In any case where a non-admin closer does resort to a technical move request or speedy deletion request, the closer should actively monitor that request, and be ready and willing to perform all tidying after the move ...". And this refers to a properly requested move! HerkusMonte (talk) 09:10, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
