Requested moves is a place for requesting the retitling of an article, a template, or a page in the Wikipedia namespace. Any logged-in user who has been registered for more than four days and has made at least ten edits can use the [move] tab located at the top of each page to perform simple moves (see Help:Moving a page). However, administrator help is required if the desired title is already occupied by a redirect with a page history of more than one edit (most common), if the redirect target has a single edit but is pointing to a different page than the article sought to be moved, if the desired title matches an entry on the title blacklist, or if the page is fully protected.

In some situations, the value of a move may be under dispute, and discussion is necessary in order to reach a consensus. There is no obligation to list such move requests here; discussions of page moves can always be carried out at the article's talk page without adding an entry. This page may be seen as a place to advertise move debates that would benefit from wider community input, or for users to request assistance from administrators in moving pages.

Most move requests are processed by a handful of regular contributors who are familiar with naming conventions, nonbinding precedents, and page moving procedures. Requests are generally processed after five days, although backlogs of a few days develop occasionally. If there is a clear consensus after this time, the request will be closed and acted upon. If not, the administrator may choose to re-list the request to allow time for consensus to develop, or close it as "no consensus".

Processes beyond the scope of this page

Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:

To rename an image, upload the image again, but with the name you want. Then change the relevant links to reflect the new name and list the old image at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

To rename a category, propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.

To rename a stub template, propose the move at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion.

To merge two articles, make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers or be bold and do it yourself.

To request that page histories be merged, list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen.

Requesting uncontroversial moves

If the move you are suggesting is uncontroversial and technically possible, please feel free to move the page yourself. Moves are possible (for registered users with accounts over four days old) when the desired name is a red link, or in cases where the target is a simple redirect—a redirect to the current title, with no prior versions in its edit history. After moving a page, update its text to reflect the new title.

If there has been any past debate about the best title for the page, or if the page has recently been moved in good faith, or if anyone could honestly disagree with the move, then treat it as controversial. Otherwise, post your request in the Uncontroversial proposals section of this page.

If the only obstacle to an uncontroversial move is a navigation aid (e.g. a redirect or an unnecessary disambiguation page with a minor edit history), the template {{db-move}} can be used instead to have that page deleted under criterion for speedy deletion G6.

Requesting potentially controversial moves

Please follow all three steps listed below when requesting a move.

Step 1 — Add move template to talk page
Enter {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved, replacing "NewName" with the new name for the article, or add {{moveoptions}} if you are unsure of the best title for the article.
Step 2 — Create a place for discussion
If the discussion does not already exist, create a section at the bottom of the talk page of the page you have requested to be moved. This can take any form that is reasonable for administrators to follow, although it is convenient to use the heading ==Requested move==, because this is assumed by the templates in steps 1 and 3. The template {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} can be used to create a framework for a poll, but be aware that polling can be divisive.
Once the requested move process is at an end, the only record of the requested move is kept on the talk page of the article. The current page name and the suggested new name must be placed at the top of the section where the move is discussed so that editors who read the talk page in the future can see clearly what the proposed move was.
Step 3 — Add the request to the "Other proposals" list on this page
Add {{subst:RMlink|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} at the top of the section under the date line, replacing PageName, NewName and reason for move with the existing title, the new name for the article and the reason for moving it. The template will include all the necessary formatting, including your signature.
Alternatively, if the new name for the article is unclear, add {{subst:RMlink?|PageName|reason for move}} at the top of the section under the date line, replacing PageName with the existing title and reason for move with the reason for moving it. The template will include all the necessary formatting, including your signature.

Moving several pages at once

An example of how to request to move a block of pages:

*([[Talk:Page A|Discuss]]) -- Rationale goes here. --~~~~
**[[Page A]] → [[Page D]]
**[[Page B]] → [[Page E]]
**[[Page C]] → [[Page F]]

On Talk:Page A, follow steps 1 and 2 above (add {{move|Page D}} to the top and create a section for discussion).
On Talk:Page B, add {{multimove|Page E|Talk:Page A}} to the top.
On Talk:Page C, add {{multimove|Page F|Talk:Page A}} to the top.

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.


Incomplete and contested proposals

With the exception of a brief description of the problem or objection to the move proposal, please do not discuss move proposals here. If you support an incomplete or contested move proposal, please consider following the instructions above to complete the proposal, and move it to the "Other Proposals" section below, normally under the earliest date on which all instructions have been completed. Proposals that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Contested - Since the article is entirely unreferenced, it's hard to say in this case, but standard English does not require an apostrophe. --DAJF (talk) 10:52, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
