Requested moves is used to request, and vote on, article moves that are not straightforward, or that require the assistance of Misplaced Pages administrators. (For simple uncontroversial moves, follow the advice at Help:Renaming (moving) a page instead; there is a tab at the top of every page for normal moves.)

For example, the proposed move may be controversial, or the "Move" function may not work (e.g. because the target exists, and has history; the move function will not overwrite such a target). Such moves should usually be discussed on the talk pages of any relevant articles first, particularly where a page move may be controversial.

Approval voting is encouraged for page moves requested on this page. Requested moves may be implemented if there is a Misplaced Pages community consensus (generally 60% or more) supporting the moving of an article after five (5) days under discussion on the talk page of the article to be moved, or earlier at the discretion of an administrator. The time for discussion may be extended if a consensus has not emerged.

  • Technical expertise may be needed to merge edit histories, e.g. when an article has been 'moved' via a cut and paste move; see #History merges below for how to handle such cases.
  • To merge two articles, please make a request at Misplaced Pages:Proposed mergers instead of here.
  • This is not the proper place to request the "moving" of images or categories. See below for more information.

Instructions

First, note that many page moves may be accomplished by any logged in user by using the move button at the top of the user interface (see the help page). Requested moves is intended only for moves that either may be disputed, so that consensus should be obtained before the move, or that require administrator involvement because the intended new location also has a page history.

Please see #Relevant policies and guidelines if you are unsure whether a page move is appropriate.

To request a page move, follow this three-step process:

(replace PageName with the name of the page to be moved and NewName with your proposed name)

I. Add the request to the
list on this page

To aid the administrators, add a line with the day's date on it directly under the heading of the Current discussions subsection, if it has not already been added for this day. Today is January 23, 2025.

===] ]===

To enter a request for a single page to be moved to a new name, add a line at the top of the section under the date line:

* ] – ] → ] – {reason for move} — ~~~~

A handy way to do this is to write the following on an empty line:

{{subst:WP:RM|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} ~~~~

which will include all the necessary formatting (do not forget the "subst:").

For more complicated requests see #Multiple page moves for formatting suggestions.

Include the page's name in your edit summary. Save this page.

II. Add the move template to talk page.

Enter the following text at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved:

{{move|NewName}}

If you want a page to be moved, but don't yet know what name it should be given, you can use {{moveoptions}} instead to indicate that there are several options to discuss.

III. Create a place for discussion

If one does not already exist, create a section on the talk page of the page you want moved for discussion. This can take any form that is reasonable for administrators to follow, but copying the following is suggested:

==Requested move==

PageName → NewName – {reason for move} copied from the entry on the ] page
===Voting===
:''Add *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''' followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your vote with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>''

===Discussion===
:''Add any additional comments''

If you are proposing that multiple closely related pages should all be moved for the same reason (see #Multiple page moves), it may be advisable to create this discussion on only a single talk page and provide links from the other talk pages to this centralized discussion.

Please include "move proposal" or similar in the edit summary and don't mark it as minor. Consider checking the "Watch this page" box to follow the page in your watchlist. Save the page.

What to do on the article page

If the move you are suggesting is uncontroversial, for example, it is correcting spelling or capitalisation, update the article reflecting the title it should have (for example, the article is at My Dog but should be at My dog, change the opening sentence to '''My dog''' is furry.). The template CapitalMove is also available, see Category:Requested capitalization moves.

Current discussions

Please list new requests at the top of today's section (January 23) in the format described above. Actual discussions should take place on the listed talk page, not here.

This one is complex. I looked at the histories, and I still have no idea what the various pages should be moved to. --maru (talk) Contribs 01:51, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Looks like the page lacking the suffix was the original article, so this needs a history merge AFAIC. --maru (talk) Contribs 00:01, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

December 29 2005

If what you say about the other similar pages is true, it defintely looks to me more like it should be a page split, not a page move; mixing in politics and politicians with the actual mechanics of the government as is done in the article is rather confusing. --maru (talk) Contribs 21:31, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
I realized that if I move this page, I will have to move the following pages also: Politics_of_Argentina, Politics_of_Bolivia, Politics_of_Brazil, Politics_of_Chile, Politics_of_Colombia, Politics_of_Ecuador, Politics_of_Guyana, Politics_of_Panama, Politics_of_Paraguay, Politics_of_Peru, Politics_of_Suriname, Politics_of_Trinidad_and_Tobago, and Politics_of_Uruguay. There hasn't been much feedback from other users and some of these pages have been neglected lately. So unless someone speaks up in the next few days I will start working on this. -Spaceriqui 03:16, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
There has been no discussion on the talk page as of yet. --Maru (talk) Contribs 19:59, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
One user opposes without a comment... I'm going to ask for clarification WhiteNight 08:57, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
