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.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

"Narrow gauge" hyphen dispute
If you have some kind of issue with #Requests to revert undiscussed moves being classified under "Technical requests", where it may not be the best fit, you should take that up at WT:RM. I didn't make it that way, but it is the proper venue for requesting the reversion of undiscussed moves, and I decline to be taken to task for using it for its intended purpose. If you have an issue with that fact that it's disruptive to run around moving a large number of articles, with misleading edit summaries, and the clear intent of spiting the outcome of RMs one isn't getting one's way in – and you'll be going against ArbCom's previous decisions about fait accompli behavior, as well as WP:ANI history in dealing with disruptive move abuse – feel free to propose an exception at WT:Disruptive editing. If you want the community to change the definition of "edit warring" to include using the standardized process for reverting undiscussed moves (rather than just going and reverting them manually) as a form of editwarring, and thus undo the #Requests to revert undiscussed moves process's rationale for existence, that's probably a proposal for WP:Village pump (policy).  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  02:17, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
