Project page to request technical page moves

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:…”

• Please make sure you really need technical assistance before making a request here. In particular, if the target page is a redirect back to the source page that has only one revision, you can usually move the page normally.
• 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.

• To request a reversion of a recent undiscussed move: Review the guidelines at WP:RMUM of whether a reversion of an undiscussed move qualifies as uncontroversial and if so, edit the Requests to revert undiscussed moves 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. Note that in some cases, clerks, such as administrators or page movers may determine that your request for a reversion does not pass the criteria and may move the request to the contested section or open a formal requested move discussion for potentially controversial moves on your behalf.

• 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. A bot will automatically remove contested requests after 72 hours of inactivity.

Edit this section if you want to move a request between sections.

Most requests should be placed below this heading.

• Template:Countries and territories of Oceania → Template:Countries of OceaniaTemplate:Countries of Oceania (currently a redirect back to Template:Countries and territories of Oceania) (move · discuss) – That’s because the other continent’s countries or sovereign states navbox templates don’t include the words ‘dependencies’ or ‘(dependent) territories’ in their titles.

• Dirty Pair (anime) → Dirty Pair (TV series)Dirty Pair (TV series) (currently a redirect instead to Dirty Pair#Television series) (move · discuss) – In line with Pokémon (TV series), Sailor Moon (TV series), and the like among other small-screen anime. From the recent AFC feed. Slgrandson (How’s my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 06:26, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I would prefer an admin check if Dirty Pair (Anime) and Dirty Pair (TV series) should be histmerged. The latter’s edit history says content was merged to Dirty Pair, from which content was copied into the AfC draft per Special:Diff/1316565513.

  @Rotideypoc41352 The end of the TV Series redirect and the start of anime page seems sufficiently different from each other. Although the TV Series content was previously merged into the parent topic, there are plenty of edits on the merged content and other content that it is hard to dissociate any edits from there as well. I think we can treat this as a normal split/merge situation. – robertsky (talk) 16:57, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Sounds good to me. I’ve updated the article title and moved it back to uncontested. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 17:01, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Usz → USZUSZ (currently a redirect back to Usz) (move · discuss) – Currently most listings are abbreviations or otherwise use all-caps. I am bad at usernames (talk · contribs) 21:44, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Tropical Storm Zeta (2005) → Tropical Storm ZetaTropical Storm Zeta (currently a redirect instead to List of storms named Zeta) (move · discuss) – There has only been one tropical storm zeta, and also the name is confusing since it was in both 2005 and 2006 Z E T A³ 17:36, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Tropical Storm Delta (2005) → Tropical Storm DeltaTropical Storm Delta (currently a redirect instead to List of storms named Delta) (move · discuss) – There has been only one tropical storm named delta – the others were a subtropical storm and a hurricane (the latter doesn’t have a year in its name) Z E T A³ 17:40, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if they have been contested.

@Astronomical Editor This isn’t uncontroversial as it is grabbing a primary topic. Please request an RM. Bensci54 (talk) 15:15, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Roman Catholic Diocese of Srijem → Diocese of SrijemDiocese of Srijem (currently a redirect instead to Diocese of Syrmia) (move · discuss) – per Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Catholicism/Archive_2025#RfC_on_dropping_preemptive_disambiguation Surtsicna (talk) 09:04, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Does appear to be consensus in the RfC for this, shame it wasn’t formally closed though. CNC (talk) 14:37, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I went ahead and boldly closed that – never closed an RfC so I probably did something wrong, but I didn’t want anybody trying to reply to it and technically being able to, which could cause issues if anybody suddenly disagrees! (nevermind, just noticed that was an archive page! I suppose it being archived is as good as being closed) As to the above, I did the other one, but am unsure as that links to a dab page – although it does look like the Serbian Orthodox leads to Eparchy of Srem, which might mean a hatnote is sufficient.

  Good point, wasn’t paying attention to that part. Moved to contested given it’s a primary topic grab. CNC (talk) 15:59, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Individual savings account → Individual Savings AccountIndividual Savings Account (currently a redirect back to Individual savings account) (move · discuss) – per MOS:AT; the government also refers to them in the capitalised form – https://www.gov.uk/individual-savings-accounts Little Professor (talk) 08:07, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Little Professor the current title reflects the consensus of Talk:Individual savings account#Requested move 14 October 2019. If you wish to change it, you’ll need to initiate a new requested move discussion. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 08:58, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Is there a source to change the spelling? The sources say “Jagadhatri” Z E T A³ 17:31, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
