Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

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.

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.

• NoBull → NOBULL (move · discuss) – The official company name is NOBULL, not NoBull, and is always stylized NOBULL Jcostas81 (talk) 13:01, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

  Oppose per MOS:TRADEMARK HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 13:30, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

  It should be Nobull, I think, based on third-party news articles pretty evenly using Nobull or NOBULL. E.g., CNBC, Business Insider. I see rather fewer with "NoBull" (MOS:CAMELCASE) or "No Bull". SilverLocust 💬 18:01, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

• The Color of Crime (book) → The Color of Crime: Racial Hoaxes, White Fear, Black Protectionism, Police Harassment and Other Macroaggressions (currently a redirect back to The Color of Crime (book)) (move · discuss) – Per WP:SUBTITLE. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 15:21, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

I think the proposed title violates WP:CONCISE. Bensci54 (talk) 16:16, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

I would oppose that per WP:SUBTITLE and WP:CONCISE. Graham (talk) 21:33, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

• Namboothiri (disambiguation) → Namboothiri (currently a redirect instead to Nambudiri) (move · discuss) – WP:NOPT Jax 0677 (talk) 00:26, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

This is likely correct now as a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT as a spelling variant of the caste (Nambudiri), which is a broad article that itself serves a disambiguating purpose by including links to notable people therein. And examples of people with the surname may be partial title matches except to the extent they are known mononymously (which does appear to be the case with Namboothiri (artist)).

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.

• Template:HouseCompletedYr (currently a redirect to Template:House completed by year category) → Template:House completed by year category (move · discuss) – Expand template name per WP:TPN HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 03:15, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
