Administrator instructions

For requested mergers, see Wikipedia:Proposed mergers. For removals, see Wikipedia:Guide to deletion.

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

Shortcuts

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

Undiscussed moves

Shortcuts

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 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 request, please do not discuss move requests here. If you support an incomplete or contested move request, please consider following the instructions above to create a full move request, and move the discussion to the "Other Proposals" section below. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Indeed, reverse this move, Since the article ONLY discusses Pederastic couples, why remove the word couples from the title? It merely sows confusion. I note, too, that no mention of the move was made on the talk page before Guy unilaterally took this action. Jeffpw (talk) 04:56, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Backlog

Move dated sections here after five days have passed (October 16 or older).

  • Conscious hip hop → Socially conscious hip hop —(Discuss)— Conscious hip hop is not an effective way of describing the genre of hip-hop involved. The statement describing the themes of "conscious hip hop" all involve social conditions, societal impact on minorities and communities, and social mores. I don't see any real reason not to have the added descriptor which could remove some confusion by readers new to the subject who might otherwise think of the page as involving more discussion of consciousness rather than the socio-economic subjects it actually deals with. --Tiger Khan (talk) 04:59, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Chinilpa → Pro-Japanese collaborators in Korea —(Discuss)— In line with the Wikipedia policy relating to the use of common English language terminology, this obscure title should be moved to the widely used and commonly understood term. Discussion started in 2007. I moved it. It was immediate reverted by another editor who quite correctly stated it was a term commonly used in Korea. The pages appear to duplicate now and need tidying up. I would argue that a redirect from the Korean term is sufficient for the English language Wikipedia. --Ex-oneatf (talk) 03:55, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lake Asal (Djibouti) → Lake Assal — (Discuss) — The name of the lake originate from French Lac Assal, with double s, which makes it sensible to apply also in English. An Internet search on 'Lake/Lac Assal/Asal Djibouti -wikipedia' returns 814 hits on Lake Assal, incl. Britannica Online Encyclopedia and BBC, 397 on Lake Asal, 1410 on Lac Assal and 102 on Lac Asal. --Eivindghoel (talk) 14:10, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Li style Tai Chi Chuan → Lee style Tai Chi Chuan —(Discuss)— 1/. 'Lee style Tai Chi Chuan' is the most commonly used spelling of the name for this style, especially for people searching on the internet because it is the name that appears on the majority of websites associated with this Tai Chi style. 2/. It is the name which appears in the authoritative works on this style published by reputable non self-published sources, in other words the books written by Chee Soo and published by HarperCollins 3/. It will avoid ambiguation with the similar sounding Tai Chi style called Li style which is a different style based in China and is a derivative of the Yang style 4/. The only people who call this style 'Li style' are offshoots of the original style who have substantially changed the original and introduced extraneous material from other styles therefore they should be considered to be new styles claiming to be simply new spellings of the original style and not genuine versions of the original style as taught by Chee Soo. --Chuangzu (talk) 08:51, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikipedia:Naming conventions → ? —(Discuss)— Before Wikipedia:Naming conventions became policy, the page used to say "Naming conventions is a list of guidelines on how to appropriately create and name pages." so the current name was appropriate, but once it became policy, the name is not as clear as it could be. In line with the hierarchy that other policies and guidelines have, I suggest that this page becomes the unambiguous policy page and that the guidelines remain clearly guidelines. Currently it is difficult for a new editor to see clearly that the naming convention is policy with detailed guidelines to explain the policy page rather than a sometimes conflicting amorphous mass. —Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 09:50, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kosovo Polje → Fushë Kosovë —(Discuss)— After the declaration of Independence the circumstances in Kosovo have changed, Kosovo is now a place with albanian as the primary language, also if you google Fushë Kosovë you get 1,270,000 results, while Kosovo Polje gives only 165,000 -- CD 17:20, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tentacle rape → Tentacle eroticism —(Discuss)— article discusses a genre of art, some of which is pornography and some of which depicts rape. However much of the work described in the article does not concern rape, and not all of it is unambiguously pornography as opposed to erotica. For example the main example work in the article is a woodcut by Hokusai from 1820 which is generally recognised as fine art, and which depicts a traditional Japanese story involving consensual human/octopus sex. The article about the Hokusai woodcut itself links to "tentacle eroticism", which is then redirected to "tentacle rape"; the former name more correctly describes the article, and is a more commonly used term. This has been discussed on the talk page since December 2005, with all commenters in favour of the move. --Viveka (talk) 15:17, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Apple iPod range —(Discuss)
    • iPod touch → IPod Touch
    • iPod nano → IPod Nano
    • iPod mini → IPod Mini
    • iPod photo → iPod Photo
      • In each case, the second word is a part of the name, (i.e. it is not "a touch", but a product called "Touch"), and according to WP:MOSCL proper nouns are generally capitalized, with no legitimate reason to make an exception here (WP:MOSTM makes it clear that Apple's styling does not entirely apply to us). To make it clear from the outset, the styling of "iPod" has no bearing on subsequent words, and does not exclude the entire title of an article from the usual rules of English, and WP:MOSCL and WP:MOSTM should be read in their spirit, rather than arguing over the literal meaning of individual words. Reserving judgment on "iPod classic", since it's not entirely clear from the article whether or not it is the actual name of the product or a popular tag. 217.36.107.9 (talk) 11:53, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ninja Gaiden (series) → Ninja Gaiden —(Discuss)— Upon concensus by discussion listed, to eliminate what has been determined to be an unnecessary disambiguation page (which is the article the old page wishes to move to), and then also to eliminate potential ambiguities between the series and the various video games who all bear the exact same name. (All corresponding video game articles are already differentiated from the series article.) --MuZemike (talk) 16:26, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
