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.

Technical requests

Edit this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.

Contested technical requests

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
@Gderrin This should be done as a WP:HISTMERGE since the target page has significant history. --Ahecht (TALK

@Ahecht: Pretty much any merge involves two pages with non-minor history. That doesn't mean their histories should be merged. These have parallel histories and should not be histmerged. SilverLocust 💬 23:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SilverLocust: You're absolutely right. I could've sworn when I had checked the edit histories that they were sequential histories, but I must've been looking at the wrong tab or something. That said, Gderrin, I've moved this to contested since there was a failed merger proposal at Talk:Bogoria (plant)#Merger proposal from 2021. It was closed as "not at this time", so it may be worth opening a new merger discussion, but that would be handled on the talk page, not here. --Ahecht (TALK

Administrator needed

Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.
