Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

Shortcuts

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:..."

If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please submit it for review at Articles for creation, by adding the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft or user sandbox page instead of listing it here.
Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself.
If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.

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: 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.
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, edit 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.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Por una Cabeza → Por una cabezaPor una cabeza (currently a redirect back to Por una Cabeza) (move · discuss) – Romance-style capitalization for a Spanish-language title. See in other editions of Wikipedia. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 22:33, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Caligosexual → Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Caligosexuality (move · discuss) – Mainspace article renamed. Fy Javan (talk) 19:05, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

1999 WNBA expansion draft → April 1999 WNBA expansion draft (move · discuss) – There were two expansion drafts held by the WNBA in 1999. This article refers to the first of those. JHD0919 (talk) 15:58, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
2000 WNBA expansion draft → December 1999 WNBA expansion draft (move · discuss) – The draft was held in 1999, not 2000. In fact, this was the second of two expansion drafts held by the WNBA that year. JHD0919 (talk) 15:58, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JHD0919 I moved the 2005 one, but wouldn't this be for the 2000 season and thus for the year 2000? Z E T A³ 16:08, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, because the draft itself was not held in 2000. JHD0919 (talk) 16:09, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
2006 WNBA expansion draft → 2005 WNBA expansion draft2005 WNBA expansion draft (currently a redirect back to 2006 WNBA expansion draft) (move · discuss) – The draft was held in 2005, not 2006. JHD0919 (talk) 15:58, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Will leave this for someone else, not too sure about naming conventions for these Z E T A³ 16:25, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The WP:COMMONNAME does not necessarily have to match the calendar date. What do reliable secondary sources use? 162 etc. (talk) 16:34, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Worth noting that @Asukite recently moved 2009 WNBA dispersal draft and 2008 WNBA dispersal draft under the basis I'm laying out here. JHD0919 (talk) 16:39, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[1] refers to it as the 2006 draft, the reason for my self-revert. Z E T A³ 16:50, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I was sort of on the fence about those as well but it seemed reasonable - I can take a second look later this weekend but of course if anybody disagrees then it is controversial. ASUKITE 18:56, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've moved these to the contested section for now. Z E T A³ 18:59, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Swensons → Swensons Drive-Ins (move · discuss) – “Swensons Drive-Ins” is the full and official name of the company, as used on its website and branding. The current title “Swensons” is incomplete and less recognizable, and does not reflect the business’s actual name. This move aligns with Wikipedia’s naming conventions for companies using their full, official names. Official site confirming name: https://swensonsdriveins.com/ Z E T A³ (on behalf of Special:Contributions/~2025-33643-33) 21:11, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@~2025-33643-33 - I placed this template since you used the RM talk template which is the wrong template Z E T A³ 21:12, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like most of the reliable sources use "Swensons" instead of the suggested name - we usually use the name English-language sources use most frequently. Z E T A³ 21:17, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
