Administrator instructions

For requested mergers, see Misplaced Pages:Proposed mergers. For removals, see Misplaced Pages:Guide to deletion. For page history mergers, see Misplaced Pages:Cut and paste move repair holding pen.

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 proposals here 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 in this section and use {{subst:RMassist|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 re-list it in the #Incomplete and contested proposals section below.

  • Template:! → Template:Pipe — The name of the template is "Pipe". The exclamation mark that is used in the current template name suggests that it has something do with easily inserting an exclamation mark in a page. The only reason why the template name uses an exclamation mark is due to a software limitation of the wiki as a template using the pipe character in the title (or Template:|) isn't allowed. As such, Template:! should just be a shortcut to Template:Pipe. — Lightsup55 ( T | C ) 19:04, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Incomplete and contested proposals

With the exception of a brief description of the problem or objection to the move request, please do not discuss move requests here. If you support an incomplete or contested move request, please consider following the instructions above to create a full move request, and move the discussion to the "Other Proposals" section below. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Talk:Yerba maté displays the Latin American discomfort with the accented é due to its Spanish pronunciation, but also that all English authorities (OED, MW, EB, &c.) give maté as the proper English spelling; also has benefit of removing unnecessary beverage tag and putting page where most likely to be searched by native English speakers

Other proposals

Please use the correct template; see the instructions above.
Do not attempt to copy and paste formatting from another listing.

  • Sacrifice hit → Sacrifice bunt —(Discuss)— "Sacrifice bunt" is:
    • more common (over 1.5 million hits on google to less than 500,000 for "sacrifice hit", and in my experience as a baseball fan I have never heard the term "sacrifice hit" used—not that that counts for anything by itself :)),
    • more accurate (a sacrifice, by nature, cannot be a hit, and for the purposes of this article the only kind of hit ball that can be a sacrifice is a bunt), and
    • more official (rule 10 of the official ML rules regarding scorekeeping uses the term "sacrifice bunt" in all but one incidence describing this play).

I can see no reason for this article to be under the title "sacrifice hit" instead of "sacrifice bunt". --Pmr2011 (talk) 17:48, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

There have been quite a few days without any response from anyone. The only person disagreeing with the move withdrew his complaint in the end. Diego_pmc 17:27, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

  • Fernet Branca → Fernet —(Discuss)— The Real Academia Española (Royal Spanish Academy, the entity that manages the words included in the Spanish dictionary) has received a proposition to include the word "Fernet" in the dictionary, also note that Branca is one of many Fernet brands.
