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.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Salangen → Salangen Municipality (currently a redirect back to Salangen) (move · discuss) – use standardized naming for municipalities in Norway - disambiguate from other places with the same name Jay1279 (talk) 19:35, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Digerus gibberulus → Tomigerus gibberulus (currently a redirect back to Digerus gibberulus) (move · discuss) – need to swap taxonomic synonym with accepted name awkwafaba (📥) 22:01, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Al-Rasheed Street → Al-Rashid Street (currently a redirect back to Al-Rasheed Street) (move · discuss) – I would like to move the article to "Al-Rashid Street" while having "Al-Rasheed Street" be a redirect to that article. The Iraqi street was named after Abbasid Caliph Harun al-Rashid and to avoid confusion and keep the constancy, the article should be spelled like Harun al-Rashid's name. Also, it is easy to mistake the English spelling of the name "Rasheed" with Rashad which is different from "Rashid." Ayham4002 (talk) 23:53, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Tu Name (Fuerza Regida)‎ → Tú Name (currently a redirect instead to Tu Name (Fuerza Regida song)) (move · discuss) – Per WP:MOVEVANDAL, please move this page back to its original title. I strongly suggest the other pages that were created in the process of moving the article to where it is now should also be deleted. MC-123 (talk) 02:52, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

Coastal Command (Pakistan) → Pakistan Navy Coastal Command (currently a redirect back to Coastal Command (Pakistan)) (move · discuss) – The article was moved without discussion from COMMONNAME [1],[2],[3],[4] and Streamline with other articles (Pakistan Navy Western Command, Pakistan Navy Northern Command) Ainty Painty (talk) 01:30, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The move was in 2021, and three days after the article was created, so not an automatic move. Sources seem to be a bit mixed as to whether they treat "Pakistan Navy" as part of the title, so might be worth a discussion. Some also don't capitalise, e.g. Pakistan Navy coastal command. — Amakuru (talk) 08:45, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mascot Books → Amplify Publishing Group (move · discuss) – Mascot Books rebranded to Amplify Publishing Group in 2022, following investment. Mascot Books remains an imprint within Amplify Publishing Group, but is no longer the business name itself. Graham at Amplify (talk) 17:52, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Graham at Amplify "Mascot Books" is still the common name. The article is about "Mascot Books", not its parent company at the moment. C F A 💬 18:05, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Honeysuckle → Lonicera (currently a redirect back to Honeysuckle) (move · discuss) – R to scientific name, instead of the other way... see Talk:Honeysuckle#redirect - Adolphus79 (talk) 20:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think you should start an actual discussion for this one. C F A 💬 21:17, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There already is, at Talk:Honeysuckle#redirect, I also asked WP:PLANTS for comment before it was brought here. I might have jumped the gun a little on this request based on the first couple comments, I was under the impression that it was uncontested, but after further comments, it appears these may be in the order they are on purpose. I have no issues if this is denied, I was only trying to help an IP editor with their request (that made sense to me also). - Adolphus79 (talk) 22:17, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to contest this one. While it would be consistent with many other plant genus at their scientific name rather than common names, this common name is well known among the public. It is almost as popular a common name as Tulip, another genus at its common name rather than at genus Tulipa. Evidence of popularity Google Ngram. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 21:15, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SpaceX Starship integrated flight test 1 → Starship Flight Test (currently a redirect back to SpaceX Starship integrated flight test 1) (move · discuss) – Official (shorter) name. Can link a hatnote to disambiguate between other flight tests [osunpokeh/talk/contributions] 09:30, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This may belong better in contested technical requests if other editors would like to raise concerns over the new name. [osunpokeh/talk/contributions] 09:32, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Osunpokeh: This is potentially controversial, so you will need to open another requested-move discussion, which you can do by pressing "discuss" on your request. There was no consensus for this when you requested it at April 2023. (The current title was the result of another RM in November 2023.) SilverLocust 💬 09:38, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Air raids on Australia, 1942–1943 → Air raids on Australia (1942–1943) (move · discuss) – format, see "Bombing of Singapore (1944–1945)" for example or "Bombing of South-East Asia (1944–1945)" Gryffindor (talk) 10:54, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:NCWWW, these should be at 1942–1943 Australia air raids, 1944–1945 Singapore bombing, and 1944–1945 South-East Asia bombing, unless WP:COMMONNAME says otherwise. In any case, if the common names are as presented above then for two of the three examples (all but Singapore) the date qualifier is unnecessary as there is nothing to disambiguate from.

Bombing of Rangoon in World War II → Bombing of Rangoon (currently a redirect back to Bombing of Rangoon in World War II) (move · discuss) – there was only one, see "Bombing of Tokyo" as format. Gryffindor (talk) 10:56, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gryffindor That title was rejected in 2020 at Talk:Bombing of Rangoon in World War II#Requested move 12 October 2020 due to confusion with Rangoon bombing. If you wish to continue with this request, please click the "discuss" link in your request above to open a move discussion. --Ahecht (TALK

Orders of magnitude (magnetic field) → Orders of magnitude (magnetic flux density) (currently a redirect back to Orders of magnitude (magnetic field)) (move · discuss) – I would move the page myself, but there is currently a redirect. The page does not compare “magnetic fields” – e.g. earth's magnetic field is much stronger than that of a neodymium magnet – but compares magnetic flux densities, measured in tesla usually right above the magnet's surface. Grufo (talk) 06:37, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Grufo: There were some back-and-forth moves that happened in 2008, but this has been stable since then. For what it's worth, the last move comment stated, ""magnetic field" is used for B by physicists, while "magnetic flux density" is used by electric engeneers [sic], and most entries are beyond their scope." Either way, it probably qualifies as a potentially controversial move that needs to be discussed (via the "discuss" link above) to go back to flux density again. -2pou (talk) 17:07, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Grufo I looked at this and I agree, while the last person who moved it has been inactive for a long time, if they had that opinion somebody else might. You can click the "discuss" link above to open a discussion, if you wish ASUKITE 17:13, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. YSR University of Health Sciences → Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences (currently a redirect back to Dr. YSR University of Health Sciences) (move · discuss) – Government of Andhra Pradesh has changed the name on 24th July 2024 Tejakesineni (talk) 06:49, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Tejakesineni The official website and all other sources I can find still use "Y.S.R." C F A 💬 14:46, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Atanasio Monserrate → Babush Monserrate (currently a redirect back to Atanasio Monserrate) (move · discuss) – Per WP:COMMONNAME SerChevalerie (talk) 13:00, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SerChevalerie, @Lancepark disputed a similar move back in 2022 to Atanasio Monserrate Babush, but it was over "Babush" being a nickname and did not mention the common name. If they agree with this move now, I'd say this is okay, otherwise there is a risk somebody might disagree with the move again and this may benefit from a discussion.
