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:..."

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.
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.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Cartoon Network (Central and Eastern Europe) → Cartoon Network (Central and Eastern European TV channel) (currently a redirect back to Cartoon Network (Central and Eastern Europe)) (move · discuss) – previous article name to match with all of the other international CN channels. VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004 (talk) 18:34, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004 I am not seeing where this a reversion of a previous move, so I am changing the section this is in. Bensci54 (talk) 20:17, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This seems like unnecessary disambiguation and goes against WP:CONCISE. Unless there's something I'm missing, it seems like if other international CN channels also include "TV Channel" they should have it removed as well. --Ahecht (TALK

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

BNY → The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (currently a redirect back to BNY) (move · discuss) – BNY is a trade name, the new name reflects the official and trade names of the bank. Baygora (talk) 19:01, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per Wikipedia policy, we use WP:COMMONNAME. Not uncontroversial. 162 etc. (talk) 19:22, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

4-way → Fourway (currently a redirect back to 4-way) (move · discuss) – As part of an uncontested merge proposal with Fourway, Virginia, a similarly tiny disambiguation page Mia ^{a data witch! talk · contribs} 09:44, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Nothing at 4-way is known as "Fourway", and Fourway, Virginia is not known as "4-way". 162 etc. (talk) 16:32, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Inner West & Leppington Line → Leppington & Inner West Line (currently a redirect back to Inner West & Leppington Line) (move · discuss) – Line has been renamed per article and Transport for NSW Mounstreip (talk) 21:42, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's all well and good, but the conditions of WP:NAMECHANGES need to be met, in that a majority of sources should use the new name. In this case, it's not even clear that the official name has changed yet - TFNSW still use the present title in their main planning page for this line - [1] — Amakuru (talk) 06:37, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mounstreip This move has been contested and would need further discussion before being moved. If you wish to proceed, please click the "discuss" link in your request above. --Ahecht (TALK

Shunga empire → Sunga dynasty (currently a redirect back to Shunga empire) (move · discuss) – "Sunga dynasty" is by far the WP:COMMONNAME rather than "empire"; see ngram. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 20:30, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We will need to know if the name should be "Shunga" or "Sunga" because the first of those is used throughout the article. The two variations have redirects all over the place. On the other hand, you are probably correct about "dynasty" vs. "empire". ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:33, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the past move discussions the article has gone through it seems either changes to "Sunga" or "dynasty" are not completely unambiguous; @Doomsdayer520, that said, could you move the page back to "Shunga Empire" as the move on 5 October downcasing the "empire" is likewise not uncontroversial? Thanks. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 01:40, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rider–Waite_Tarot → Smith–Waite Tarot (move) – This move is necessary to correct the historical attribution and give due credit to the illustrator, Pamela Colman Smith, whose contribution has been largely overlooked. The proposed title 'Smith–Waite Tarot' accurately reflects her role in the creation of the deck. This change was discussed years ago in section 7 (Rider-Waite, Waite-Smith, Rider-Waite-Smith?) on the talk page: Talk:Rider–Waite_Tarot. Further discussion on 'Smith-Waite' vs. 'Waite-Smith' can take place there if needed. The current title overemphasizes the publisher and omits the artist's contribution. A redirect from Rider–Waite_Tarot to Smith–Waite_Tarot should be created as part of this move. 176.6.135.222 (talk) 21:36, 6 October 2024 (UTC)"[reply]
With Google Ngrams, I get no results for "Smith–Waite Tarot", but "Rider–Waite–Smith Tarot" seems to be in the lead (unless I missed another more popular option). SilverLocust 💬 23:37, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See also WP:OR and WP:RGW. 162 etc. (talk) 16:04, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Barnard College → Barnard College, Columbia University (currently a redirect back to Barnard College) (move · discuss) – Barnard should follow the same standard set by Columbia College, Columbia University 128.59.177.189 (talk) 15:01, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Columbia College is at that name because just the title Columbia College would be ambiguous. However, Barnard College is not ambiguous, and adding "Columbia University" to the title would be unnecessary disambiguation. See WP:CONCISE. --Ahecht (TALK

Labor Party Philippines → Workers' and Peasants' Party (Philippines) (currently a redirect back to Labor Party Philippines) (move · discuss) – WPP is the preferred name of the group for the upcoming 2025 election Hariboneagle927 (talk) 11:56, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hariboneagle927 The first source in that article says that "WPP" stands for "Workers Party Philippines", not "Workers' and Peasants' Party". --Ahecht (TALK

René Waldeck-Rousseau, father → René Waldeck-Rousseau (currently a redirect instead to Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau) (move · discuss) – I believe the creator of René's article added the disambiguator "father" because a page titled "Rene Waldeck-Rousseau" already existed as a redirect to his son, Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau. The title "father" is unnecessary here, and also transfers to the Dutch wiki via translation. Aleksamil (talk) 09:31, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Aleksamil René Waldeck-Rousseau seems to much more commonly be used to refer to the son than the father (see https://www.britannica.com/biography/Rene-Waldeck-Rousseau, and most of the links at Special:WhatLinksHere/René Waldeck-Rousseau are referring to the son). However, I agree that something like René Waldeck-Rousseau (born 1809) would be a more standard form of disambiguation. --Ahecht (TALK
