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. If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please submit it for review at Articles for creation, by adding the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft or user sandbox page instead of listing it here. Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself. If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Misplaced Pages:Requested moves.

• 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.

• 1925 Tri-State tornado → Great Tri-State Tornado (move · discuss) – Move request at Talk:1925 Tri-State tornado#Requested move 26 December 2024 closed as move, but the page hasn't been moved. Departure– (talk) 17:29, 15 January 2025 (UTC) Departure– (talk) 17:29, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

• Big five game → Big Five game (currently a redirect back to Big five game) (move · discuss) – more common in sources as a "Big Five" Wamalotpark (talk) 09:26, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
  • Not a proper name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:12, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

    The article's cited sources seem to capitalize "Big Five". Note that the article was created at Big Five game and later moved to Big five game without discussion. 162 etc. (talk) 18:18, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

• IMT Smile → I.M.T. Smile (currently a redirect back to IMT Smile) (move · discuss) – The band's name includes periods after each letter. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:47, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

@Revirvlkodlaku WP:COMMONNAME seems to be without periods, any sources? ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 15:19, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

All their album releases include periods, so while it's likelly that they are often written about without the periods, this seems to be the proper way to spell the band's name. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 00:32, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Better do a full RM using the above discuss button ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 03:35, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

@User:Bunnypranav, what's an RM? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 12:14, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

A requested move discussion. SilverLocust 💬 19:19, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Either click on the "discuss" link next to your original suggestion or just delete all this here and start over by following the instructions at WP:RSPM. But I'll warn you that Misplaced Pages doesn't really care what's on the album cover. Misplaced Pages uses WP:COMMONNAME, not WP:OFFICIALNAME. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:43, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

• Bhadra (Hindu calendar) → Bhadra (month) (currently a redirect instead to Bhadra (disambiguation)) (move · discuss) – WP:CONSISTENT, like other Hindu calendar months with disambiguation. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 15:15, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

@Hemant Dabral There are multiple months with the name "Bhadra" listed on the disambiguation page. C F A 15:53, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

This one is WP:PRIMARY, the Nepali calandar month is based on this Vikram Samvat month. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 04:26, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

You can start a requested-move discussion using the "discuss" link next to your request. C F A 15:28, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

@Hemant Dabral; your request has been contested; you will need to use the "discuss" button to open a full RM if you wish to continue. Sennecaster (Chat) 01:29, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

• Rewriting Extinction → Rewriting Earth (move · discuss) – The charity has changed their name, this can be seen in the first citation on the Rewriting Extinction page, the link to the charity commission website. PersonDoingSomeEditing (talk) 14:50, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

@PersonDoingSomeEditing See WP:NAMECHANGES. C F A 15:57, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Understood, am I ok to change the name to Rewriting Earth citing the charity commission? PersonDoingSomeEditing (talk) 16:08, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

You can start a requested-move discussion using the "discuss" link next to your request. C F A 23:27, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

• Mesha (month) → Meṣa (currently a redirect back to Mesha (month)) (move · discuss) – WP:CONSISTENT, all other Hindu solar months use diacritic as per IAST transliteration. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 15:15, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

@Hemant Dabral This one was moved to its current location by a 2021 RM, so a new RM will be required to move it back. Bensci54 (talk) 17:11, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

• Medicare → Medicare (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to Medicare) (move · discuss) – Medicare (United States) is actually a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the term "Medicare" and has significant number of pageviews than Australian and Canadian counterparts. So, we need to move to move "Medicare (United States)" to base name "Medicare" and put DAB page name with "(disambiguation)" phrase at the end. 114.4.214.137 (talk) 03:32, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Not uncontroversial and should be discussed; WP:NWFCTM. The US article is obviously going to get more hits than other country articles just due to larger readership in US, but that doesn't make it the primary topic over the others nor make it more notable. Happily888 (talk) 05:53, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

• Lindsay Peoples Wagner → Lindsay Peoples (move · discuss) – name change following divorce Anonymousrabbit (talk) 19:58, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

@Anonymousrabbit See WP:NAMECHANGES. C F A 23:19, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

• AI boom → AI revolution (currently a redirect back to AI boom) (move · discuss) – Google search results: "ai revolution" 8,660,000 results, "ai boom" 2,090,000 results, "ai spring" 53,100 results. Also see trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=ai%20revolution,ai%20boom,ai%20spring&hl=en-US ModernDaySlavery (talk) 18:54, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

  There was an unrelated move discussion a little over a year ago, and therefore this is not uncontroversial. ToadetteEdit (talk) 19:52, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

• Ouija → Spirit board (currently a redirect back to Ouija) (move · discuss) – Talk:Ouija § Move to Spirit board. Daask (talk) 20:03, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

As you admit in the linked discussion, Oujia is the WP:COMMONNAME, even though it is a trademark. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 23:26, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

This n-gram, which includes sources from the spirit world, favors Ouija by quite a margin. Randy Kryn (talk) 16:36, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

A talkpage comment that sat there for over a year and received no replies is definitely not a consensus. Oppose. 162 etc. (talk) 19:26, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

• Hume → Hume (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to Hume) (move · discuss) – The dab page shows a clear primary topic. Interstellarity (talk) 00:57, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

   Not done - this isn't a purely technical request, and a previous requested move had no consensus to perform this action. Please open a requested move by clicking "Discuss" to encourage a broader consensus on the talk page. Thanks. Steven Crossin 01:05, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

• Nuda (disambiguation) → Nuda (currently a redirect instead to Beroidae) (move · discuss) – There doesn't appear to be a primary topic for "Nuda". Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:18, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

@Revirvlkodlaku The current redirect at Nuda serves as a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. GTrang (talk) 04:30, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Ok, so can that be changed? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 10:06, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Beroidae should stay as the primary meaning, because the rest are just works of art. — Petr Matas 13:49, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Can you explain what you mean? Are works of art seen as having lower importance? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 13:59, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Works of art may not have lower importance, but real-world meanings come to the mind first. For example, Mammals are a biological class, exactly like Nuda. Other meanings are only artworks and art bands and the primary meaning is the class. — Petr Matas 14:47, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

• Anti–money laundering → Anti-money laundering (currently a redirect back to Anti–money laundering) (move · discuss) – spelling; please merge histories (timespans of significant histories: source: 2023–2025, target: 2005–2013) — Petr Matas 08:18, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

MOS:DASH says to use the en dash instead of hyphens in article titles. ''']''' (talk • contribs) 09:20, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Actually, regarding titles, the MOS says do not replace dashes with hyphens, but it does not say replace hyphens with dashes. Probably this MOS instruction is meant to counter a possible belief that simple characters are preferred in titles. In this case, the right character is the hyphen – see Talk:Anti-money laundering#Article name hyphenation: is it wrong? — Petr Matas 13:04, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

That 15yo comment is unrelated to using the en dash. See MOS:PREFIXDASH; "money laundering" is a compound. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 20:15, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

I see! Now the hyphenation finally makes sense to me. "Anti-money" is a nonsense, but "anti–" is a prefix to "money laundering", right? Should we use the dash throughout the article as well? Shall we move this discussion to the article's talk page? — Petr Matas 22:17, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

• John Cleese on screen and stage → Filmography of John Cleese (move · discuss) – It seems a bit less formal for the article title to be "John Cleese on screen and stage". Since Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, it should, in my opinion which is based on my reading of the Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus, have the most formal vocabulary to ensure that it is a reference work or compendium, providing summaries of knowledge in a field. For example, here is a unformal American teenager ordering his lunch at his local McDonald's branch, "Yeah dude, cus I'm at a McDonald's, get me a Big Mac with French Fries and a cola, and make it quick.". Compared to a formal American of any age that has a vocabulary fit for Misplaced Pages, "Hi. Upon your esteemed establishment, I would like to solicit a compromising meticulous assembled Big Mac please, accompanied by a side of golden crispy French Fries, and a refreshing beverage, of your most distinguished Cola, all of which I request to be served in a timely manner. Ensuring this optical temperature of consumption." It is more formal to be on the side of the second piece of dialogue that I provided, then the first piece of dialogue that I provided. FeistyRooster (talk) 19:28, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

@FeistyRooster needs discussion. This covers more than filmography. Polyamorph (talk) 20:07, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

well we could do "Filmography and theatrical premise of John Cleese"? FeistyRooster (talk) 20:10, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

@FeistyRooster, another commonly used form used for performances going beyond strictly film is List of John Cleese performances, if you fee that is any better. -2pou (talk) 20:20, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
