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:..."

• 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.
• 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

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

• 3D drug printing (currently a redirect to 3D printed medication) → 3D printed medication (move · discuss) – Per merge discussion on colloquial name. Ost (talk) 13:34, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

I don't understand. The merge discussion was about merging into 3D drug printing, not the other way around. It also seems the merge and redirection has been completed already. Please clarify if there is still something to be done. Polyamorph (talk) 17:49, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

@Ost316 ASUKITE 19:41, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

@Asukite:You correctly interpret the request, but the only other participant and I suggested it should be in the other direction. There was no objection to this, so I would think that that is consensus at closure. If I had noticed that 3D printed medication was a new redirect, I could have just done the move myself, but I foolishly added categorization first. —Ost (talk) 21:08, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

• Farooqui dynasty → Khandesh Sultanate (currently a redirect back to Farooqui dynasty) (move · discuss) – The article is mostly about the state, not the ruling dynasty. Also keeping in line with other related similar articles such as Bengal Sultanate, Gujarat Sultanate and Malwa Sultanate. PadFoot2008 03:28, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
• 449th Expeditionary Training Squadron (currently a redirect to 449th Flying Training Squadron) → 449th Flying Training Squadron (move · discuss) – Page title created by typographical error in attempted move of 449th Expeditionary Flying Training Squadron (wrong word removed) Lineagegeek (talk) 20:43, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
• Kate Fischer (currently a redirect to Tziporah Malkah) → Tziporah Malkah (move · discuss) – Subject legally changed their name in 2008, has been credited under this name since, and requested this move themselves (see Talk:Kate Fischer#Legal Name). I do not anticipate it being a controversial request. Adam Black ^{talk • contribs} 21:19, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.

• Darracq and Company London → STD Motors (currently a redirect back to Darracq and Company London) (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME, was the company's name for nearly half of its life, including its last 15 years. Mpw008 (talk) 01:49, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

  The page was at Darracq until an undiscussed move in 2016,and I think reverting to that might be a good idea as a simple concise name. Probably worth an RM anyway.  — Amakuru (talk) 06:55, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

• Muhammad Maharvi → Khawaja Noor Muhammad Maharvi (currently a redirect back to Muhammad Maharvi) (move · discuss) – That is the correct name for that person Alragon1 (talk) 07:40, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

  @Alragon1, I do not see any instances of titles prefixed "Khawaja", and not all titles have to be the accurate name of people. Toadette^Edit! 11:01, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

• Blackpool North railway station → Blackpool North station (currently a redirect back to Blackpool North railway station) (move · discuss) – Connected tram stop has opened and changing the suffix to station is common practice for UK rail pages. Unsure of why Wikipedia is refusing to let me move it. Bobster1001 (talk) 15:14, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

  Looking at other similar articles "railway station" seems to be more common. Bensci54 (talk) 16:09, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

  But that is only because almost all UK railway stations only serve National Rail mainline services. Meanwhile, the railway station of Blackpool North connects to the tram network, so that is why 'railway' is removed. See Manchester Victoria station and East Croydon station. See WP:UKSTATION. JuniperChill (talk) 19:13, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

  It depends whether we treat the tram stop and train station as one facility or two. Currently the list of tram stops implies that they're separate ("connected by an underpass"), the railway station states in the Facilities section that it's half a mile from the tramway (which it was pre-extension) and in the "Tram interchange" states it has "a new terminal opposite the station" which also implies the two are separate. If the two are separate then the current title is correct. Thryduulf (talk) 07:57, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

  There is a bit of a ramble at talk:Haymarket railway station about the same thing. I could argue that East Croydon station and Stratford International station should be renamed but I still prefer the current title. I never plan to start an RM there but I am not stopping people from doing so JuniperChill (talk) 08:55, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

  I agree that Stratford International is two separate stations that happen to be near each other and share a name (like the two Hammersmith tube stations). I'm not familiar enough with Haymarket to have a pre-formed opinion. Thryduulf (talk) 09:25, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

• Liège (Chamber of Representatives constituency) → Liège (former Chamber of Representatives constituency) (currently a redirect back to Liège (Chamber of Representatives constituency)) (move · discuss) – Split article into two - one that existed until 2003 and covered the Arrondissement of Liège and another that has existed since 2003 and covers Liège Province Obi2canibe (talk) 22:18, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

  Note that this is not the correct place to propose a split. See WP:PROSPLIT for the proper procedure. Also, I'm not sure why this requires a move? Can't you just move the historical content over to the "former" article, creating that article off of the redirect? Bensci54 (talk) 16:42, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)

• WT Social → Trust Café (currently a redirect back to WT Social) (move · discuss) – The project/service described by the article has evolved and been renamed. Mrmedley (talk) 01:29, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

  @Mrmedley:  Not done; see WP:COMMONNAME#Name changes. Lunar-akaunto／talk 15:09, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

• Chandrakanta (2017 TV series) → Chandrakanta – Ek Mayavi Prem Gaatha (move · discuss) – Moving page per WP:HYPHEN 2409:40E0:3C:F575:8C4C:DFFF:FE47:A417 (talk) 06:16, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

  ip, I do not think it is uncontroversial because the generic term "Chandrakanta" is used in reliable sources more than the full name. Could you elaborate more on the reasoning of this move? Toadette^Edit! 11:08, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

• Blanco (British rapper) → Blanco (rapper) (currently a redirect instead to Blanco) (move · discuss) – no other rappers named Blanco have a Wikipedia article. Can be shortened RoaSted (🗣️🗣️🗣️ 19:05, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

  May require discussion, as Blanco (singer)'s article refers to him as a "singer, rapper and songwriter". 162 etc. (talk) 22:44, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

  Yeah, the Italian is a rapper. @Roastedbeanz1: This request is contested. SilverLocust 💬 01:30, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

  But his disambiguator (singer). Nor is "(Italian rapper)" a current redirect to his page. Roasted (talk) 01:33, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

  The main consideration is, as you correctly identified, whether there are any "other rappers named Blanco [that] have a Wikipedia article" (such that this is WP:INCDAB), not whether that other article has a title with "rapper" as a disambiguator. It doesn't matter that Blanco (Italian rapper) hasn't (yet) been created. (Creating it would be fine.) Also note that Blanco (rapper) was a redirect to Blanco (singer) until last month. SilverLocust 💬 02:05, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

• JPMorgan Chase → JPMorganChase (currently a redirect back to JPMorgan Chase) (move · discuss) – Company name changed from “JPMorgan Chase & Co.” to “JPMorganChase;” former short name for company now all one word, no space between “JPMorgan” and “Chase” Artystyk386 (talk) 07:07, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

  Company website at [1] still says "© 2024 JPMorgan Chase & Co." This is definitely not uncontroversial.  — Amakuru (talk) 18:06, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
