Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

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:..."

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. If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please submit it for review at Articles for creation, by adding the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft or user sandbox page instead of listing it here. Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself. If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Contested technical requests

• Tigrayan People's Liberation Front‎ (currently a redirect to Tigray People's Liberation Front) → Tigray People's Liberation Front (move · discuss) – The official name of the organization is Tigray People's Liberation Front‎ not Tigrayan People's Liberation Front‎.

  • Potentially controversial. No source supplied for the official English translation of the official name which appears to be ህዝባዊ ወያነ ሓርነት ትግራይ. I would suggest an RM to ensure consensus. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 18:34, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Dignitary torts (currently a redirect to Dignitary tort) → Dignitary tort (move · discuss) – Per WP:SINGULAR. 142.160.89.97 (talk) 18:56, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dignitary torts is correct. This is covered by Wikipedia:Naming conventions (plurals)#Exceptions (Articles on groups or classes of specific things). There is no such thing as a dignitary tort on it's own, singularly, (even though you wrote this into the article). Dignitary torts is a category of torts, of which the singular torts are battery, assault, and false imprisonment et al. For example the tort of battery, which is singular. The category of torts is intentionally plural. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 19:10, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How is it any different than, e.g., an intentional tort? 142.160.89.97 (talk) 19:48, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is not very different. It would be unusual to refer to a Dignitary tort in the singular, but it is common to refer to an intentional tort in the singular. Because a tort within the category of intentional torts is a tort done with intent. Thus it is descriptive to use 'intentional tort' to describe it, legal sources use both 'intentional tort' and 'intentional torts'. But it is less common to use the singular 'Dignitary tort' as it is more descriptive to instead use the tort one is referring to. Legal sources use the plural far more commonly, although the singular is occasionally used, copying in the main from a 1988 paper which used it thus. Perhaps intentional tort should be moved to intentional torts. Certainly the plural is used by all major works I have checked. But it is not a pressing concern for it to be changed. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 20:47, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
