Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Misplaced Pages. For information on retitling files, categories, and other items, see § When not to use this page.

Before moving a page or requesting a move, please review the article titling policy and the guidelines on primary topics.

Any autoconfirmed user can move a page using the "Move" option in the editing toolbar; see how to move a page for more information. If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page. However, it may not always be possible or desirable to do this:

  • Technical reasons may prevent a move; for example, a page may already exist at the target title and require deletion, or the page may be protected from moves. In such cases, see § Requesting technical moves.
  • Requests to revert recent, undiscussed, controversial moves may be made at WP:RM/TR. If the new name has not become the stable title, the undiscussed move will be reverted. If the new name has become the stable title, a requested move will be needed to determine the article's proper location.
  • A title may be disputed, and discussion may be necessary to reach consensus: see § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. The requested moves process is not mandatory, and sometimes an informal discussion at the article's talk page can help reach consensus.
  • A page should not be moved and a new move discussion should not be opened when there is already an open move request on a talk page. Instead, please participate in the open discussion.
  • Unregistered and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.

Requests are typically processed after seven days. If consensus supports the move at or after this time, a reviewer will perform it. If there is a consensus not to move the page, the request will be closed as "not moved." When consensus remains unclear, the request may be relisted to allow more time, or closed as "no consensus". See Misplaced Pages:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.

Misplaced Pages:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a move request as long as all steps are followed. If a discussion on the closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of the move discussion to determine whether or not the contested close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines.

When not to use this page

Shortcuts

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

Undiscussed moves

Shortcuts

Autoconfirmed editors may move a page without discussion if all of the following apply:

  • No article exists at the new target title;
  • There has been no previous discussion about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and
  • It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.

If you disagree with a prior bold move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move yourself. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons, then you may request a technical move.

Move wars are disruptive, so if you make a bold move and it is reverted, do not make the move again. Instead, follow the procedures laid out in § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.

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 request, please do not discuss move requests here. If you support an incomplete or contested move request, please consider following the instructions above to create a full move request, and move the discussion to the "Other Proposals" section below. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Other proposals

Please use the correct template: see the instructions above.
Do not attempt to copy and paste formatting from another listing.

  • Scania → Skåne —(Discuss)—Skåne is the most common word and all Swedish provinces gå by their native name on wikipedia, changing the name to 'Skåne' would help creating uniformity. —Birtitia (talk)

  • Sakura → Cherry blossoms —(Discuss). The article is about the cultural significance of cherry blossoms. According to the rule WP:UE, English names should be preferred to foreign names. The word "sakura" in English is a loanword and is a more narrowly defined horticultural term than the word "sakura" in Japanese. "Cherry blossoms" is both more familiar and more traditionally used than the loanword sakura. —Bathrobe (talk) 09:07, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Meitar → Metar —(Talk:Meitar)— The correct and official English spelling of מיתר is Metar. This is the spelling on the headed notepaper of the Local Council, the street signs in the road outside (Ministry of Transport) and the street signs inside (Local Council) and most importantly at the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics. I am having great difficulty (surely becuase of my ignorance of wikipedia) moving the page because of the clash with Aviation routine weather report METAR. Help would be greatly appreciated. Benqish (talk) 18:21, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
I moved Aviation routine weather report METAR back to METAR as there was no reason for that move. If the name of the place is incorrect then it could be moved to Metar without causing the all capital version to be moved. I note, however, that it was moved to Metar before and then returned based on Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (Hebrew). CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 06:39, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Backlog

Move dated sections here after five days have passed (January 18 or older).

  • List of Batman episodes → List of Batman animated episodes — or perhaps just move it back to List of Batman: The Animated Series episodes and snip the redirect to List of Batman episodes —(Discuss) — The only TV show named simply Batman is the 1966 Adam West live-action show. Plus, the article currently at List of Batman episodes includes a number of episodes which come from shows with wholly different names, like Batman and Robin. The show, in any of its forms, was never officially called, simply, Batman. The closest it ever came was Batman: The Animated Series, which fans (and perhaps television listings) have truncated to Batman. As there's a good deal of contextual logic in grouping together all the episodes of all the shows that have shared the same continuity and production team, a more logical title would be "Batman animated episodes". Even if there are other (non-American) animated shows about Batman, this surely would be the one most users would query for. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 08:35, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Support. The film is also listed at sites such as HKMDb, HKCinemagic and LoveHKFilm as Once Upon a Time in China and America. Gram123 (talk) 13:25, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Dąbrowski's Mazurka → Mazurek Dąbrowskiego —(Discuss)— The reason is the same as for the previous request: most articles about national anthems are at the native title. Most exceptions, where the English title is used instead, are for countries with more than one official language or for anthems without a title, known simply as "National Anthem of...", none of which is the case here. In the case of Mazurek Dąbrowskiego, the English rendering is particularly awkward since I wouldn't expect most native English speakers to know what a mazurka is, let alone who Dąbrowski was. The Polish anthem is probably better known in the English-speaking world by its incipit, Poland Is Not Yet Lost, which is not, however, the official title. It's been more than a year since the last, inconclusive, discussion. Articles about anthems have become even more standardized since then, so maybe this time a consensus to move will be reached. —— Kpalion 11:21, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Contested move There are a few other schools with the a similiar name in NY including Saint John Fisher College. St. John's University has a location in Rome Italy, and one being produced in Paris. The primary campus is in Jamaica, NY with 95% of the student population. As such the name should reflect that. Bigdaddy718 (talk) 02:51, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Talk page is a mess with multiple discussions and no obvious place to start. Even on this page there are two links, and niether go to a headed section called 'Requested move'. Zuiver jo (talk) 22:48, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Market economy → Free-market economy —(Discuss)— According to Google, the term free-market economy is used six times more on the World Wide Web than market economy . The term market contains many ambiguities. The term market economy is just a shorthand for free-market economy. The former term does not imply that it is "less free" than the latter term. According to Dictionary.com, the definition for a market economy it is "An economy that operates by voluntary exchange in a free market and is not planned or controlled by a central authority; a capitalistic economy." Free market and Free-market anarchism has their own name, why shouldn't this be?71.175.31.106 (talk) 00:20, 15 March 2008 (UTC) —71.175.31.106 (talk) 00:19, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
