Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shortcuts

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.

Technical requests[edit]

Edit this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests[edit]

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves[edit]

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.
  • Ismail Qemali → Ismail Kemal (currently a redirect back to Ismail Qemali) (move · discuss) – rv undiscussed move by the user Hilst few months ago in August 2023. Ismail never used the spelling "Qemali" and always used the spelling "Kemal" in his signature (can be seen here), in his English memoirs (titled The Memoirs of Ismail Kemal Bey) and other documents. Also, about 80% of the article's sources use "Kemal" (Skendi 1967, Kondis 1976, Treadway 1983, Hanioğlu 2001, Blumi 2013 and several others). Shqiptër4 (talk) 22:39, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contested technical requests[edit]

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
The bulk of the content relates to the former constituency. I wanted to preserve the edit history rather than cut and paste as you've suggested.--Obi2canibe (talk) 18:56, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do the two have significantly different borders? If not, I think it's standard practice to leave them as one page.  — Amakuru (talk) 07:21, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the two constituencies are significantly different. This map shows the arrondissement (old constituency) within the province (new constituency). The area of the constituency increased from 797 km2 to 3,857 km2. The electorate increased from 400,000 to 725,000.--Obi2canibe (talk) 18:22, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator needed[edit]

Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.
