How Can We Help?

< Back

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: 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.

@Sanglahi86 A Google search shows this is probably not the WP:COMMONNAME. I suggest starting a WP:RM instead. C F A 💬 14:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kevinjscott This is definitely not uncontroversial. Please start an WP:RM for this if you want to continue. Acronyms are usually not used in page titles (see MOS:ACROTITLE) unless the topic is primarily known as the acronym (e.g. NASA). A similar move request was proposed on NBA a few months ago and did not succeed, so I doubt this one will. C F A 💬 14:55, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
21 Andromedae; searches show that some pages use the former term and others (including NASA) use the target term, and so the common name cannot be established. Maybe start a requested move? ToadetteEdit! 18:14, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is not always a proper noun. Even in the article, both capitalizations are used. You'll have to start a WP:RM for this. C F A 💬 17:30, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
