Appearance
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.

Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Lay Down (disambiguation) (currently a redirect to Lay Down) → Lay Down (move · discuss) – Malplaced disambiguation page. Natg 19 (talk) 20:37, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Greene's Tutorial College (currently a redirect to Greene's College Oxford) → Greene's College Oxford (move · discuss) – new name of schoool, rebranding/renaming of the school per school's website 2A02:1210:2C5A:AE00:8DEA:3397:14EA:74A3 (talk) 10:40, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Orange Music Electronic Company (currently a redirect to Orange Amps) → Orange Amps (move · discuss) – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Can't move because of existing redirect. It's nearly impossible to find anything referring to this company as "Orange Music Electronic Company." The official website uses "Orange Amps" - for example, the history section was apparently written by the company founder, who signs off, "Founder, CEO of Orange Amps." I would go with what he says. Mbinebri (talk) 18:15, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Society of Operating Cameramen (currently a redirect to Society of Camera Operators) → Society of Camera Operators (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME. The organisation is referred to by the second name; the current title is a name not in use anymore. See official website and various articles. Sgubaldo (talk) 20:03, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- From The Start (song) (currently a redirect to From the Start) → From the Start (Laufey song) (currently a redirect instead to Bewitched (Laufey album)) (move · discuss) – MOS:AT, disambiguation is needed as well because From the Start (song) leads to a disambiguation page The Sharpest Lives (contribs) 20:25, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Si nos dejan (TV series) (currently a redirect to Si nos dejan) → Si nos dejan (move · discuss) – I believe the page is the only one titled Si nos dejan so the disambiguation is unnecessary. I am unable to do the move myself. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 20:30, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
Contested technical requests
- Friesland (disambiguation) → Friesland (move · discuss) – per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:NCLANG PK2 (talk) 13:30, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- I don't agree with this, and have reverted the recent move from Friesland to Friesland (province). The province seems the primary topic for this Dutch/German term when rendered in English, given that the region is usually called Frisia. — Amakuru (talk) 13:45, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- @PK2: This technical request has been contested. As such, it would require a requested-move discussion, which you can begin by clicking "discuss" on your request. You can remove this request after opening a discussion (or if you do not want to continue). I have also adjusted the discuss link to include requesting the now-reverted move Friesland → Friesland (province). SilverLocust 💬 21:59, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

- DYD (disambiguation) (currently a redirect to DYD) → DYD (move · discuss) – No primary topic, like any other DAB page from Ykhwong. 2600:1006:B05C:30F3:F9D9:60A9:43F3:564A (talk) 14:03, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Did you open the RM at Talk:DYD (disambiguation) by mistake? Technically we need you to reply there saying you are going to "withdraw" your nomination before we can do anything, otherwise the RM needs to elapse. You can still do that as long as nobody replies with a support !vote. ASUKITE 14:53, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
