Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

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:..."

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

Template:Countries and territories of Oceania → Template:Countries of OceaniaTemplate:Countries of Oceania (currently a redirect back to Template:Countries and territories of Oceania) (move · discuss) – That's because the other continent's countries or sovereign states navbox templates don't include the words 'dependencies' or '(dependent) territories' in their titles.

Dirty Pair (anime) → Dirty Pair (TV series)Dirty Pair (TV series) (currently a redirect instead to Dirty Pair#Television series) (move · discuss) – In line with Pokémon (TV series), Sailor Moon (TV series), and the like among other small-screen anime. From the recent AFC feed. Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 06:26, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would prefer an admin check if Dirty Pair (Anime) and Dirty Pair (TV series) should be histmerged. The latter's edit history says content was merged to Dirty Pair, from which content was copied into the AfC draft per Special:Diff/1316565513.

@Rotideypoc41352 The end of the TV Series redirect and the start of anime page seems sufficiently different from each other. Although the TV Series content was previously merged into the parent topic, there are plenty of edits on the merged content and other content that it is hard to dissociate any edits from there as well. I think we can treat this as a normal split/merge situation. – robertsky (talk) 16:57, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good to me. I've updated the article title and moved it back to uncontested. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 17:01, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
