Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Misplaced Pages. For information on retitling files, categories, and other items, see § When not to use this page.

Before moving a page or requesting a move, please review the article titling policy and the guidelines on primary topics.

Any autoconfirmed user can move a page using the "Move" option in the editing toolbar; see how to move a page for more information. If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page. However, it may not always be possible or desirable to do this:

  • Technical reasons may prevent a move; for example, a page may already exist at the target title and require deletion, or the page may be protected from moves. In such cases, see § Requesting technical moves.
  • Requests to revert recent, undiscussed, controversial moves may be made at WP:RM/TR. If the new name has not become the stable title, the undiscussed move will be reverted. If the new name has become the stable title, a requested move will be needed to determine the article's proper location.
  • A title may be disputed, and discussion may be necessary to reach consensus: see § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. The requested moves process is not mandatory, and sometimes an informal discussion at the article's talk page can help reach consensus.
  • A page should not be moved and a new move discussion should not be opened when there is already an open move request on a talk page. Instead, please participate in the open discussion.
  • Unregistered and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.

Requests are typically processed after seven days. If consensus supports the move at or after this time, a reviewer will perform it. If there is a consensus not to move the page, the request will be closed as "not moved." When consensus remains unclear, the request may be relisted to allow more time, or closed as "no consensus". See Misplaced Pages:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.

Misplaced Pages:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a move request as long as all steps are followed. If a discussion on the closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of the move discussion to determine whether or not the contested close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines.

When not to use this page

Shortcuts

Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:

Undiscussed moves

Shortcuts

Autoconfirmed editors may move a page without discussion if all of the following apply:

  • No article exists at the new target title;
  • There has been no previous discussion about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and
  • It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.

If you disagree with a prior bold move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move yourself. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons, then you may request a technical move.

Move wars are disruptive, so if you make a bold move and it is reverted, do not make the move again. Instead, follow the procedures laid out in § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.

Uncontroversial proposals

Only list here proposals that are clearly uncontroversial but require administrator help to complete (for example, spelling and capitalization fixes). Do not list a proposed page move in this section if there is any possibility that it could be opposed by anyone. Please list new requests at the bottom of the list and use {{subst:WP:RM2|Old page name|Requested name|Reason for move}} rather than copying previous entries. The template will automatically include your signature. No edits to the article's talk page are required.

If you object to a proposal listed here, please relist it in the #Incomplete and contested proposals section below.


  • Skadar Lake → Lake Scutari — To revert, for the second time today, an undiscussed unilateral controvertial page move that even contradicts the result of the last proper move request. — I can't revert it myself because the original page (Lake Scutari) has now a history of redirects. — I'm also asking to protect the article from being moved, to force users to discuss the issue at the article's talk page (and possibly propose a proper move request). —Ev 05:30, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Operation Wisła → Operation Vistula — This is the term used in nearly all historic and contemporary English-language academic sources. It was previously titled Operation Vistula but was retitled by a Polish person to Wisla (the Polish name for the Vistula River) without comment. DvonD 04:15, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Trivium_(education) → Trivium — The trivium (grammar, logic and rhetoric) is a cornerstone philosophy of all western education and is what I was expecting to see when I came here; only to find that it'd been used for some unknown 'metal band' with NN history, I moved the metal band from 'Trivium' to 'Trivium_(Band)' with intent to make the above move but couldn't as 'trivium' was already in use. If someone could make the swap across it'd be appreciated. I need not stress that an academic philosophy as integral as trivium is of higher relevance to some band that has put out two self-published albums in their lifetime. :P If not, maybe I should make a band named rhetoric! :P —Jachin 01:31, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

The ship is clearly not a Steam Ship (there has never been an "SS Dunedin"). These need deleting/reinstalling, but one of them is slated to appear on the Main page, so I cannot do that. Grutness...wha? 00:48, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Asian people → Asians —(Discuss)— 'Asian' is the adjective (i.e., the demonym) for people from Asia, not 'Asian people' -- the plural Asians makes more sense and is reflected in the titles for other groups (e.g., Russians). Alternatively, the article can be moved back to Asian (people). In either case, Asian can be made into a redirect (c.f. American), though I'm unsure why it was moved from 'Asian (people)' to begin with. —Corticopia 00:26, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
