Appearance
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.

Uncontroversial technical requests
- Ericsson Mediaroom (currently a redirect to Mediaroom) → Mediaroom (move · discuss) – Now part of MediaKind, and no longer known as Ericsson Mediaroom. 2019UKUser (talk) 14:29, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
- Work → Work (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to Work) (move · discuss) – Drafted an article for human work/labor; move disabled on current page. Zar2gar1 (talk) 13:26, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
- I actually think this should be discussed, the scientific meanings get so many views and are probably more sought after. – Thjarkur (talk) 14:50, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
- Just saw your message, and actually, I'm glad to talk it out some; I didn't get any feedback to my heads-up on the current talk page. We can retract this move request for now. Zar2gar1 (talk) 15:21, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

- Labour → Labour (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to Labour) (move · discuss) – Plan to redirect to new article; current redirect at "Labour (disambiguation)" has 2 history entries. Zar2gar1 (talk) 13:26, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
- I also think it would be better to retain this one as a disambiguation page. – Thjarkur (talk) 14:50, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
- My opinion on this one is a bit stronger than exactly how "work" gets sorted out, but we can discuss that at the relevant article too: retracting this move request. Zar2gar1 (talk) 15:21, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves
- Father Serra statue (Ventura, California) (currently a redirect to Statues of Junípero Serra (Ventura, California)) → Father Serra statue (currently a redirect instead to Statue of Junípero Serra) (move · discuss) – Unnecessary Parenthetical disambiguation.
