Hello! I’ve just returned to a bit of Wikipedia work after a few years, and want to confirm if I’ve performed this close correctly: Talk:Bongo Rock (instrumental)#Requested move 4 November 2025.

The result of the RM was moved per WP:NOPRIMARY and WP:NCSONG. I moved Bongo Rock to Bongo Rock (instrumental) and suppressed the redirect, then created a new page at Bongo Rock as a disambiguation. I’ve then added a hatnote on both Bongo Rock (instrumental) and Bongo Rock (album) referring to each other.

Was this the correct process for this move, and is there anything I’ve potentially missed? I fear I may have forgotten some guidelines over the last few years and I just want to confirm I’ve done everything right as I step back into this space. Thanks! echidnalives – talk – edits 10:08, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi echidnaLives, sorry no-one got back to you sooner. When disambiguating a primary topic, you also ned to re-target the incoming links per WP:POSTMOVE#Cleaning up after a change in topic structure, as the move has created disambiguation links (Bongo Rock) in articles. You can do this with Move+ at the page, or using disambiguation assist tool. Some closers like to also create the associated redirect, in this case Bongo Rock (disambiguation), which has already been done by Paine Ellsworth. If there’s one thing most closers always forget it’s some bit of post move cleanup (half the time I find), so it’s worth double checking these parts.

Thanks for letting me know, I completely forgot about that! I’ve just used DisamAssist to fix all the links, and I’ll keep it in mind for future moves. echidnalives – talk – edits 03:02, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You’re welcome, have fun out there! CNC (talk) 12:31, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that at some point Template:RMassist/preload substitution was messed up (see here). The substituted code should be cleaned up and in several places like Talk:Appling v. Walker#Requested move the discussion should be closed with {{RM top}} (probably just on technical grounds). Gonnym (talk) 13:43, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is now a separate section for UK Parliament constituency articles due to the many necessary requests from User: Jean-de-Nivelle to clean up a plethora of articles in that topic area. This has been going on for a while with Jean-de-Nivelle needing to making dozens and possibly hundreds of requests to the point of needing their own section. And then we tackle them when we get to them. And since we do them with no controversy, that indicates consensus that Jean-de-Nivelle is an authority on this matter. PROPOSAL: If there are still many dozens of these left, let’s give Jean-de-Nivelle the Page Mover authority to it themselves with a little tutorial on how the procedure works. —DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:11, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That’s fine by me, if it has the consensus of the community. I’ve finished most of the current constituencies, but there are still many former constituencies to work through. Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 17:27, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
