Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request a technical move 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 "This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

• Please make sure you really need technical assistance before making a request here. In particular, if the target page is a redirect back to the source page that has only one revision, you can usually move the page normally.
• To list a technical request: 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.
• To request a reversion of a recent undiscussed move: Review the guidelines at WP:RMUM of whether a reversion of an undiscussed move qualifies as uncontroversial and if so, the Requests to revert undiscussed moves 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. Note that in some cases, clerks, such as administrators or page movers may determine that your request for a reversion does not pass the criteria and may move the request to the contested section or open a formal requested move discussion for potentially controversial moves on your behalf.
• 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. A bot will automatically remove contested requests after 72 hours of inactivity.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves a technical request for reverting a recent undiscussed move, place it here.

• The Wyatt Sicks → Wyatt SicksWyatt Sicks (currently a redirect back to The Wyatt Sicks) (move · discuss) – Per WP:THE McPhail (talk) 20:12, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

  Per WP:THE#Names of groups, sports teams and companies, it's not clear that this is the correct interpretation. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:23, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

• User:Paul Wenner/Weingut Dreissigacker (currently a redirect to Draft:Weingut Dreissigacker) → Weingut Dreissigacker (move · discuss) – New EN article translated from DE Wikipedia. Subject is a notable German winery with Wikidata entry Q139585624. Paul Wenner (talk) 10:04, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

@Paul Wenner As mentioned at the top of the page, you should submit your article to AfC since this is your first article. I've moved your article to Draft:Weingut Dreissigacker for convenience during the review process. Annh07 (talk) 10:27, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

• Guangzhouwan → French GuangzhouwanFrench Guangzhouwan (currently a redirect back to Guangzhouwan) (move · discuss) – Per WP:PRECISE and WP:CONSISTENT with British Hong Kong, Russian Dalian, Portuguese Macau, etc. Wasting time is still my passion (talk) 02:21, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

@Wasting time is still my passion As far as I can tell "Guangzhouwan" is first and foremost used to refer to the French concession. Hong Kong, Dalian and Macau are ambiguous in a way Guangzhouwan is not. ⹃Maltazarian ^{ᚾparley$\lor$investigateᛅ} 22:01, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Administrator needed

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.
