Wikipedia:Requested moves

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Timeineurope (talk | contribs) at 17:49, 27 August 2007 (uncontroversial proposal). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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

Before moving a page or requesting a move, please review the article titling policy and the guidelines on primary topics.

Any autoconfirmed user can move a page using the "Move" option in the editing toolbar; see how to move a page for more information. 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. In such cases, 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 typically processed after seven days. If consensus supports the move at or after this time, a reviewer will perform it. 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, or 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 here proposals 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 and use {{subst:WP:RM2|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 relist it in the #Incomplete and contested proposals section below.

  • Bengaluru → Bangalore —(Discuss)— The move from the original name "Bangalore" to "Bengaluru" was done without consensus or discussion. Although the city is supposed to be renamed, there is no official confirmation on any government website yet, and major news services continue to use the name Bangalore. Hence this request to move the page back to Bangalore until we have official confirmation and notable usage of the new name. Thanks. —Max - You were saying? 19:36, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Line of succession to the Luxembourgish throne → Line of succession to the Luxembourgian Throne —(Discuss)— The page was moved by another user without discussion, contrary to conventions, and an administrator is required to move it back. Whilst there is disagreement about what the adjectival form of 'Luxembourg' is - whether it is 'Luxembourgian', 'Luxembourgish', or 'Luxembourg' - Wikipedia:WikiProject Luxembourg has decided that standardisation about one or another is important, and that the chosen form is 'Luxembourgian'. The capitalisation of the 't' is uncontroversial, as it matches the lines of succession for other countries, as well as being the name before this move. —Bastin 11:43, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Closely related to the 1815-1846 city status are the articles currently named Kraków Uprising and Grand Duchy of Cracow, on the revolt and the post-1846 Austrian successor state (Großherzogtum Krakau).-- Matthead discuß!     O       15:50, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move dated sections here after five days have passed.

Corrected false claims. Wilhelmstraße is consensus, and no revert was made either. -- Matthead discuß!     O       19:26, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Leo Prime → Lio Convoy —(Discuss)— His name in Transformers Fiction has always been Lio Convoy, one simple toy with no Bio was made as a homage named Leo Prime. Recent images of the upcoming Beast Wars: Ascending comic prove that in America his name is Lio Convoy. Note placed in article discussion page. 24.127.3.102
  • Android 17 → Artificial Human 17 —(Discuss) — Just like the Artificial Human 18 article, Artificial Human 17 is the more common name dispite the usage of Android in the English dubs and English manga. The Japanese term for this is Jinzō'ningen, which commonly trasnlates as Artificial Human. In the manga, the reason they used Android was to follow the anime. In Dragon Ball volume 6, when they met Artificial Human 8, Viz translated it as Mechanical Man, which is proof that they were following the manga. It should also be mentioned that Artificial Human 8 was actually an Android, and was never human, unlike 17 and 18. In the Dragon Ball series, 17 and 18 were run away humans who were captured by Dr. Gero and experimented on. Thus this makes them cyborg's and not Androids at all. After the defeat of Cell (Dragon Ball), they just call them 17, 18, etc... Ryu-chan 18:47 20 August, 2007 (UTC)
