Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

Shortcuts

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 Wikipedia: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.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Territory of Colorado (California) → Pico Act (currently a redirect back to Territory of Colorado (California)) (move · discuss) – Most sources label this 1859 attempt at state partition as the Pico Act, for instance the 1970 scholarly paper "State Separation Schemes, 1907-1921" by historian Roberta McDow. Modern sources such as the Laist continue to call it the Pico Act. And the current article name was not a requirement: the proposed name of the southern partition was not restricted to "Territory of Colorado", as the legislation text allowed any "other name as may be meet and proper."

- @Binksternet: This would seem to require a non-trivial amount of work to re-scope this article to the act and then the lead becomes the background leading up to the Pico act, so this is far beyond just a title issue. This is probably best left up to talk page discussion first to discuss changing the scope, and then a formal RM discussion. TiggerJay (talk) 03:04, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Most of the present article's text is actually about the history of the Pico Act, and its odd path from being introduced then passed then signed into effect then forgotten. I think the text could be rearranged rather easily around that history, then the geography of the proposed territory could be a sub-section. Once that is done, the requested move would be sensible. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:13, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Old Guard (comics) (currently a redirect to The Old Guard (franchise)) → The Old Guard (franchise) (move · discuss) – swap pages. comics page should redirect to the franchise page as non-comics-related content is a lot more substantial now ★ TARDIS builder^✉ 21:37, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Executive magistrates of the Roman Republic → Magistrates of the Roman Republic (currently a redirect instead to Thomas Robert Shannon Broughton#Magistrates of the Roman Republic) (move · discuss) – See Talk:Executive magistrates of the Roman Republic#GA Reassessment under "Title". I agree with original poster. Target title is currently a redirect, it should be dropped. I've put in a {{for}} template on the original title page for disambiguation. Ifly6 (talk) 09:11, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ako Legal Wife: Mano Po 4? → Mano Po 4: Ako Legal Wife (currently a redirect back to Ako Legal Wife: Mano Po 4?) (move · discuss) – The title "Ako Legal Wife: Mano Po 4?" is just stylization, and is also missing an exclamation mark from the film's promotional material. Revert back to original title. DasKlose (talk) 12:06, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Draft:Deer Lady (currently a redirect to Deer Lady) → Deer Lady (move · discuss) – Ready for mainspace inclusion. A quick look at the page views of the redirect makes the episode look like the primary topic. The redirect received very little visits until the character this episode is about made her first appearance (Aug 30, 2021), further peaks can be seen to correspond with future appearances of the character (Sep 19, 2022), and once more at the character-centric episode (Aug 9, 2023). There's only one link to the redirect, which comes from the series itself and can be changed. The appropriate disambiguation can be handled with hat notes. TheDoctorWho (talk) 06:07, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Template:Windsor family (currently a redirect to Template:House of Windsor) → Template:House of Windsor (move · discuss) – To match the article House of Windsor and its sister template Template:House of Windsor sidebar, as well as other similar templates. Omnis Scientia (talk) 06:51, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Template:House of Stewart (Scotland) (currently a redirect to Template:House of Stuart) → Template:House of Stuart (move · discuss) – Same as above; to match article title. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:43, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
