If you areunable to complete a move for technical reasons, you canrequest a technical move 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 "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 isyour first article and you want your draft article moved to themainspace, please submit it for review atArticles for creation, by adding the code{{subst:submit}} to the top of thedraft oruser sandbox page instead of listing it here.
Because you areautoconfirmed,you canmove most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself.
If you needhelp determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top ofWikipedia:Requested moves.
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 theUncontroversial 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 atWP:RMUM of whether a reversion of an undiscussed move qualifies as uncontroversial and if so,edit theRequests 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 theContested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Considerpinging 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.
Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if they have been contested.
X Window selection→X selection(move·discuss) – The X Window System is a window system named X. Sometimes the name is incorrectly parsed as a system named "X Window", which seems to have happened here. See e.g. theUser's Guide which begins (in "Part One: Using X"): "The X Window System, called X for short, is a network-based graphics window system [...]".Airopadier (talk)20:46, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If ambiguity is a concern, rename it to "X Window System authorization". But "X authorization" is consistent withX resources, for example. There is also already a redirect fromX selection to (incorrect)X Window selection. "X" is the common name for the X Window System – see for example this very article which talks about "X clients", "X servers", "the X display server" and "the X Session Management Protocol".Airopadier (talk)22:56, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This could probably be resolved by moving everything without redirect except WFNS (AM), asWMXG can just beWP:MOR'd instead of any round-robins having to occur. Though this relies on all moves being done and no issues with any of the others.Tenshi! (Talk page)20:37, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@162 etc.: Could I ask why you've moved these requests to contested again? You haven't provided a reason after I uncontested it the first time and someone else did it again after that, which you've now reversed again.Tenshi! (Talk page)18:21, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As I noted above, this is messy and involves several primary topic swaps.
I would agree for run of the mill requests, though it was contested originallyby Asukite after I asked about sources, which they did provide above. Are you requiring this set of moves to go to RM solely because it was moved to the contested section?Tenshi! (Talk page)18:35, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, I want it to go to RM because it involves several primary topic swaps and honestly needs a much clearer rationale and explanation than what has been provided so far.162 etc. (talk)19:00, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Deathcamp (song)→DeathcampDeathcamp (currently a redirectinstead toExtermination camp)(move·discuss) – The song here should occupy the base name, not be subordinate to a redirect that represents a typo. "Deathcamp" without a space is purely a typo for the other topic,extermination camp –a plausible typo, not an implausible typo (so not eligible for deletion), but a typo nonetheless. In the context, a topic that uses the term in a fashion that is not merely as a potential search term error clearly takes precedence.Iskandar323 (talk)13:16, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Vestrian24Bio: It's not a plausible spelling fordeath camp; no one spells it without a space. It could only possibly be an abject typo, which it is not for the proposed target; it is the exact base name. The only function of the current arrangement is to force the pageextermination camp to host a hatnote explaining that this implausible spelling directs to it and redirecting readers to the error-free target.Iskandar323 (talk)15:45, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It was located there in 2012 but only lasted a month and has been stable at the longer title since then (aside from a change to the disambiguation). Not opposed, but inclined to think an RM would be better here.CNC (talk)10:53, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
All of the disambiguated entities in that category use(district) so I think an RM on all of them would be advisable to settle the matter. — Amakuru (talk)19:28, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has beenfully protected ormove protected (seethis guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires apage mover.
