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:..."
- 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: the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
- 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, the Requests to revert undiscussed moves subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
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.
{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
- 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.

- Dear Father Christmas → Finding Father Christmas (currently a redirect instead to Father Christmas (film series)) (move · discuss) – edit summary for the move Hildreth gazzard (talk) 16:33, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Hildreth gazzard Why should it be moved? - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 17:23, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
- Title changed Hildreth gazzard (talk) 17:53, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
- Given that is also the name of a Hallmark movie, that would need disambiguation until there's evidence for WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. ~ Jenson (SilverLocust 💬) 21:56, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

- IV (Željko Joksimović album) → Ima nešto u tom što me nećeš (currently a redirect back to IV (Željko Joksimović album)) (move · discuss) – This is the official name of the album. Barcodc (talk) 03:08, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
- Does the album even meet criteria for a standalone article (WP:GNG, WP:NALBUM)?
- If so: history at both pages; one was redirected to the other as a duplicate about a month ago, so reversing the merge is an option.
- If not, both should be {{R from album}} to Željko Joksimović (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 14:20, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
- Inverness County, Nova Scotia → Inverness County (currently a redirect instead to Inverness-shire (disambiguation)) (move · discuss) – Unnecessary disambiguators MediaKyle (talk) 21:00, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
- This could be confused with Inverness-shire, I'll leave it for someone else to decide. HurricaneZetaC 21:09, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
- Agreed, make dab. 162 etc. (talk) 22:51, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

- Interim Housing → Interim housing (move · discuss) – Sentence case per MOS:AT, can't move because it's a redirect. This capitalisation is the one used in the article. Note that it's also at AfD currently. Thanks! Chorchapu (talk | edits) 01:44, 6 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Chorchapu WP:AFDEQ applies here, the bit about not confusing or annoying other editors by moving the page (especially when it's not a high priority imo). As the move is correct per MOS, no objections to another editor fulfilling the request. I'm merely contesting as there is reasonable reasoning and not much to gain by completing the request. If the article is kept, feel free to re-request. CNC (talk) 11:37, 6 December 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose - this is also a proper name, as it refers to a term for Chinese temporary housing. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:16, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

- Hotel California (2013 film) → Hotel California (film) (currently a redirect instead to Hotel California (disambiguation)) (move) – Hotel California (2008 film) is no longer an article. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:58, 6 December 2025 (UTC)
- @LaundryPizza03 it seems unlikely that the 2008 film will survive an AfD, but it may go to one so it is worth waiting for the outcome of that first. ASUKITE 16:14, 6 December 2025 (UTC)
- Probably wait and see what happens with the 2008 film. I don't think this should be discussed since if the 2008 one isn't restored after the RFD then we can move. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:41, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

- Yahoo Maktoob → Maktoob (currently a redirect back to Yahoo Maktoob) (move · discuss) – WP:UCRN · Yahoo! Maktoob was shut down in 2023, so it feels more natural to use a more recognizable name throughout its history. Google Trends also shows more favorability for Maktoob, even after its acquisition[1].

- This page has previously been subject to a RM, so moving this would be controversial. Please use WP:RSPM. Tenshi! (Talk page) 11:46, 7 December 2025 (UTC)
- Telugu cuisine → Andhra cuisine (currently a redirect back to Telugu cuisine) (move · discuss) – Telugu cuisine should be moved to the Andhra cuisine page along with the article's history. Andhra cuisine is an independent regional cuisine specific to Andhra Pradesh state. Given that a dedicated Wikipedia page for Telangana cuisine already exists (which, along with Andhra cuisine, constitutes the broader Telugu cuisine), this page should remain focused solely on Andhra Pradesh's state cuisine. To cover the broader subject, a new Telugu cuisine page should be developed, or the broader term should redirect to a central article, instead of renaming the existing Andhra Pradesh specific page. Vikckyy (talk) 11:57, 7 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Vikckyy there has been a lot of back and forth between these titles, so I don't think this can be considered as uncontroversial and requires a formal WP:RM Polyamorph (talk) 14:17, 7 December 2025 (UTC)
- Electric light → Electric lamp (currently a redirect back to Electric light) (move · discuss) – aligning with standard terminology (see my edits today citing support) and avoiding conflation with light fixture (which too could be termed electric light) Jrtuenge (talk) 02:50, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- Not at all uncontroversial. This has been proposed and rejected before. The title is complicated by differences between usage in different varieties of English, and differences between technical and common usage. The current title is a result of multiple discussions, page moves, and mergers. Consensus can of course change, but a discussion is required.--Srleffler (talk) 04:31, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- Alibek Kuantyrov → Älibek Quantyrov (move · discuss) – duplicate article ShadZ01 (talk) 09:20, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- It is impossible to move an article over another article. You may want to consider merging or WP:BLAR one of them. Tenshi! (Talk page) 09:24, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- Kizilsu Kyrgyz Autonomous Prefecture → Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture (currently a redirect back to Kizilsu Kyrgyz Autonomous Prefecture) (move · discuss) – Its official name. See this China's state-run Xinhua News Agency article: https://english.news.cn/20251204/e182476876414df2b9104087ba040fab/c.html . Coddlebean (talk) 05:39, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
