Administrator instructions

Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Wikipedia. For retitling files, categories and other items, see When not to use this page.

Please read the article titling policy and the guideline regarding primary topics before moving a page or requesting a page move.

Any autoconfirmed user can use the Move function to perform most moves (see Help:How to move a page). If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page. However, it may not always be possible or desirable to do this:

  • Technical reasons may prevent a move; for example, a page may already exist at the target title and require deletion, or the page may be protected from moves. See: § Requesting technical moves.
  • Requests to revert recent, undiscussed, controversial moves may be made at WP:RM/TR. If the new name has not become the stable title, the undiscussed move will be reverted. If the new name has become the stable title, a requested move will be needed to determine the article's proper location.
  • A title may be disputed, and discussion may be necessary to reach consensus: see § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. The requested moves process is not mandatory, and sometimes an informal discussion at the article's talk page can help reach consensus.
  • A page should not be moved and a new move discussion should not be opened when there is already an open move request on a talk page. Instead, please participate in the open discussion.
  • Unregistered and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.

Requests are generally processed after seven days. If consensus to move the page is reached at or after this time, a reviewer will carry out the request. If there is a consensus not to move the page, the request will be closed as "not moved". When consensus remains unclear, the request may be relisted to allow more time for consensus to develop, or the discussion may be closed as "no consensus". See Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.

Wikipedia:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a move request as long as all steps are followed. If a discussion on the closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of the move discussion to determine whether or not the contested close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines.

When not to use this page

Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:

Undiscussed moves

Autoconfirmed editors may move a page without discussion if all of the following apply:

  • No article exists at the new target title;
  • There has been no previous discussion about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and
  • It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.

If you disagree with a prior bold move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move yourself. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons, then you may request a technical move.

Move wars are disruptive, so if you make a bold move and it is reverted, do not make the move again. Instead, follow the procedures laid out in § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.

Uncontroversial proposals

Only list proposals here that are clearly uncontroversial but require administrator help to complete (for example, spelling and capitalization fixes). Do not list a proposed page move in this section if there is any reasonable possibility that it could be opposed by anyone. Please list new requests at the bottom of the list in this section and use {{subst:RMassist|Old page name|Requested name|Reason for move}} rather than copying previous entries. The template will automatically include your signature. No edits to the article's talk page are required. If you object to a proposal listed here, please re-list it in the #Incomplete and contested proposals section below.

Incomplete and contested proposals

With the exception of a brief description of the problem or objection to the move proposal, please do not discuss move proposals here. If you support an incomplete or contested move proposal, please consider following the instructions above to complete the proposal, and move it to the "Other Proposals" section below, normally under the earliest date on which all instructions have been completed. Proposals that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Other proposals

  • The communeThe Commune —(Discuss)— Name should have capital letter, but attempt to move it was thwarted because that title is Protected. I can't tell whether that's to prevent re-creation of this article, or for some completely other reason. Article looks OK, has (mal-formed) refs to websites of other organisations which seem to make it just-about notable. --PamD (talk) 15:49, 2 January 2009 (UTC) PamD (talk) 15:49, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tepelenë, AlbaniaTepelenë —(Discuss)— Tepelenë primarily refers to the city in southern Albania. The other meaning (Tepelenë District) is derived from the city, already disambiguated by its generic (district), and rarely used without that generic (except perhaps in lists of districts, where it is clear that the district is meant). And, as was pointed out in a similar situation at Talk:Shkodër, Albania, the disambiguation ",Albania" is unsatisfactory because the district is also in Albania. --Markussep Talk 09:54, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kaharlytskyi RaionKaharlyk raion?—(Discuss) I have a question to users who really know their grammar: Is the "Raion" part of the name written in upper or lower-case letters in this case? I have removed the Ukrainian adjective "-tskyi" (see Kiev Oblast as an example, which is not "Kievskyi Oblast" or whatever here), but I just am not sure about the "Raion" or "raion" part. I am posting my question here in order to gather attention since I think this is probably the best place to gather quality feedback. Thanks everyone. Gryffindor (talk) 19:07, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Shkodër, AlbaniaShkodër —(Discuss)— Shkodër primarily refers to the city in northern Albania. All other meanings (district, county, lake, Ottoman province) are derived from the city. The other meanings are already disambiguated by their generic (lake, county, district, province), and rarely used without that generic (except perhaps in lists of counties, districts, where it is clear that the county, district etc, is meant). --Markussep Talk 09:36, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • BernamaBERNAMA —(Discuss)— Was originally moved from that capitalization with this edit (summary: "moved BERNAMA to Bernama: It is not usually all capitalise. Only the first letter is usually capitalised.). But it is (nearly) everywhere capitalized in the article and at [1] and that seems to be the preferred form. --Jfire (talk) 06:25, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Is this even technically possible? I thought the usual method to achieve a lower-case initial letter is the {{Lowercase}} template. – ukexpat (talk) 02:00, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • NOD32ESET Software —(Discuss)— NOD32 is now ESET NOD32 Antivirus and there are several other pieces of software, noteably ESET Smart Security, which fall under the description of NOD32 but do not warrant their own article as their is a lot of overlapping content. I propose the current article is renamed to ESET software to better reflect the software available from ESET in one place. --Amhoyle (talk) 00:38, 30 December 2008 (UTC) Amhoyle (talk) 00:38, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I moved the article to Kingston Fossil Plant coal fly ash slurry spill following talk page discussion. --Orlady (talk) 05:07, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am restoring this request. Please note it concerns Joshua Tree not Joshua tree. Several editors opposed to the recently closed request to move the dab page to Joshua tree stated that the ambiguous title is the one with the capitalized "Tree". I see their point. --Una Smith (talk) 02:29, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • December 2008 Gaza Strip bombing → ? —(Discuss)— two three name changes/reverts have occurred in the space of just a few hours, apparently two name changes occurred earlier in presumably the last 24 hours, so time is needed to let people cool down and consense on a reasonable NPOV name on this obviously controversial topic —Boud (talk) 02:17, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • This might even need admin help to block any further moves until discussion has had time to take place properly. Boud (talk) 02:23, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • The original title was Operation Cast Lead. Cajota or whatever his name is changed the title without discussion or notifying the other members (there was a 10 paragraph discussion beforehand). He's saying the title wasn't neutral, which has been proven wrong by several members. The title needs to be reverted back to its original state, then it would be appropriate to argue. 70.181.154.29 (talk) 23:02, 28 December 2008 (UTC) Wikifan12345 (talk) 23:03, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Backlog

Move dated sections here after five days have passed (October 10 or older).

Comment Moving this article apparently requires a history merge.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 09:50, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No histmerge required; if you look at the histories, the pages were up simultaneously, and there was never a cut-and-paste move. Since they have always been distinct, there's no need to merge their histories. Parsecboy (talk) 05:56, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • AutorunAutoRun —(Discuss)— The official Microsoft name for this feature has a capitalised R. I believe the CamelCase usage is a valid judgement call in this case and is not a violation of the manual of style. AutoRun is clearer and lines up correctly with Microsoft's other feature AutoPlay. All definitive Microsoft sources, especially MSDN, use the term AutoRun for the feature. --Carveone (talk) 12:27, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree.[2] Walter Siegmund (talk) 21:24, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The page has been moved by user Parishan (talk · contribs) without discussion [3]--Vacio (talk) 08:27, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
