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.

Technical requests[edit]
Uncontroversial technical requests[edit]
- Konkani (disambiguation) → Konkani (currently a redirect instead to Konkani language) (move · discuss) – per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:NCLANG PK2 (talk) 07:40, 27 May 2024(UTC)
- @PK2: There are currently 627 articles that directly link to Konkani, which would need to be updated (probably manually, to make sure that they are actually intending to link to the language, and not the people) before we could transition that to a disambiguation page. --Ahecht (TALK

- Khimairidae → Khimaira (currently a redirect instead to Chimera (mythology)) (move · discuss) – Family with a single known genus, title should be at genus. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:37, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Draft:Still Life (RM song) → Still Life (RM song) (currently a redirect instead to Indigo (RM album)) (move · discuss) – existing redirect blocking move. -- Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 00:01 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Draft:Please Don't Change → Please Don't Change (currently a redirect instead to Golden (Jungkook album)) (move · discuss) – existing redirect blocking move. -- Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 00:37 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Any other RMTR regular can correct me, but neither draft presents compelling evidence that subjects have WP:SIGCOV in sources, which are all simply records showing that the songs charted. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 01:29, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Moving it shouldn't be an issue since I've gone through this process many times without problems. In fact, I had one moved earlier today. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 01:49, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves[edit]
Contested technical requests[edit]
- American open-wheel car racing → Indy car racing (currently a redirect back to American open-wheel car racing) (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONTERM RegalZ8790 (talk) 18:57, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Is it though? I'm not sure "indy car" really saw much use before the 1990s, retconning the entire history of American racing is at least worth a discussion. 162 etc. (talk) 05:02, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- if i can chime in, the page is an overview of Indy car racing only, which has been known by that name since the 1950s. If it was an full histort of American racing it would also discuss the other open-wheel disciplines such as sprint cars, midget cars, super modifieds and modifieds. Not to mention the non-open-wheel of NASCAR and Drag Racing. The article itself is clear that the common term is Indy car. thank you 2605:59C8:10F0:1410:396E:69B0:4005:79DF (talk) 13:46, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

- Wife ((G)I-dle song) → Wife (song) (currently a redirect instead to Wife (disambiguation)) (move · discuss) – No other articles about song titled "Wife" PepeBonus (talk) 09:04, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- The song by Mitski appears to have enough coverage to make it notable and I don't think there's a PDAB primary topic. I've redirected the target to the main dab page for now. — Amakuru (talk) 11:00, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- Unless and until Wife (Mitski song) gets its own article, this is unambiguous, per WP:SONGDAB. 162 etc. (talk) 19:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- The question is whether it's notable or not, rather than whether there's an article... I see some sources giving the song coverage, therefore it might be notable. — Amakuru (talk) 22:03, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- No, according to WP:SONGDAB, "unless more than one article about songs of the same name exist, there is no need to disambiguate any further." This is a well-established naming convention. 162 etc. (talk) 22:09, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- Per WP:PRIMARYRED if the non existent article is notable then we use the full qualifier. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:28, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed. And the RFC which established the SONGDAB guideline was clear that it was for situations where the other songs of that name are not themselves notable. — Amakuru (talk) 17:35, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Administrator needed[edit]
- Tel al-Sultan airstikes → Tel al-Sultan massacre (currently a redirect back to Tel al-Sultan airstikes) (move) – There is a RM currently in progress. That should be respected. Please also move protect this page. VR (Please ping on reply) 23:28, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Tel al-Sultan airstikes → Tel al-Sultan airstrikes (currently a redirect instead to Tel al-Sultan massacre) (move · discuss) – Typo. Also, desired new title already exists as a reidrect so I am unable to move it myself. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 00:40, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Has been move protected. Needs admin permissions to be moved. If there are no problems with incoming wikilinks, suppressing redirect may be prudent as a defacto WP:R3. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 01:26, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
