Requested moves is the place to request and vote on article moves that are not straightforward, or that require the assistance of Wikipedia administrators. Normally, logged in users can do uncontroversial moves themselves using the [move] tab found at the top of every page (see Help:Moving a page for more information). However, sometimes this does not work because the target is already occupied (usually in the form of a redirect with a page history). In other situations a move may be controversial and will require discussion to reach a consensus.

Discussion to find consensus is encouraged for page moves requested on this page. Requested moves may be implemented if there is a Wikipedia 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.

What requested moves are not for:[edit]

Before you begin, please note that requested moves are only for moving articles, and sometimes templates. It is not the place for the following:

Unobstructed, uncontroversial moves
Moves of this nature can be accomplished by any logged-in user whose registration was more than 4 days ago. Use the [move] tab located at the top of every page. See Help:Moving a page.
Category move requests
To rename a category, list it on categories for discussion.
Image move requests
To rename an image, re-upload the image with the name you want, and then change the relevant links to reflect the new name, and then list the old image on images and media for deletion.
Merge requests
To merge two articles, make a request at proposed mergers or be bold and do it yourself.
Cut and paste move fix requests
To request page histories to be merged, list them at cut and paste move repairs.
Obstructed moves that only involve capitalisation
These moves can be requested with the template {{capitalmove}} is available; see Category:Requested capitalization moves.

Steps for requesting a page move[edit]

In the following, replace PageName with the name of the page to be moved; NewName with your proposed name; and reason for move with some text explaining your proposal.

To a request a page move for a single article for the first time, follow this three-step process:

I.
Put the page move tag on the article.

  Insert the {{subst:move|NewName}} tag at the top of the page.

  • Please include the phrase "page move requested, see [[Wikipedia:Requested moves]]" in the edit summary
  • Please do not mark the edit as minor.
  • Consider checking the "Watch this page" box to follow the page in your watchlist. This allows you to notice if your AfD tag is removed by a vandal.
  • Save the page.

(If the article has been nominated for deletion before, use {{subst:afdx}} instead of {{subst:afd1}}. See Template Talk:afdx.)

II.
Create the article's deletion discussion page.

  The resulting AfD box at the top of the article should contain a prominent link to "this article's entry" in the AfD page.

  • Click that link to open the article's deletion discussion page
  • 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. The reason for move should be copied from the entry on the WP:RM page:


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

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


replacing PageName with the name of the page to be deleted, and Reason... with a reason you think the page should be deleted.

  • Consider checking "Watch this page" to follow the progress of the debate.
  • Consider the Edit summary "First deletion reason"
  • Save the page.
III.
Notify users who monitor RM discussion.

  Copy the tag below, and then click  [THIS LINK] to open the requested move page. At the bottom of the log page, insert: {{subst:WP:RM|PageName|NewName|reason for move}}
which will include all the necessary formatting, including your signature. Don't forget the "subst:" at the beginning! replacing PageName appropriately; also include the page's name in your edit summary. Save the page. Your insertion will be automatically expanded to the same form as the preceding lines in the file: {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}}.

(If you used template {{subst:afdx}} instead of {{subst:afd1}}, use "PageName (2nd nomination)" instead of "PageName" for a second nomination, etc.).

To list multiple related pages for deletion see here.



In the following, replace PageName with the name of the page to be moved; NewName with your proposed name; and reason for move with some text explaining your proposal.

Step 1:  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 think a page should 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.

Step 2:  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. The reason for move should be copied from the entry on the WP:RM page:


==Requested move==
PageName → NewName – {reason for move with signature} copied from the entry on the [[WP:RM]] page
===Survey===
:''Add *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''' followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your opinion 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.


|colspan=2|

Step 3:  Add the request to the list on this page


|- |valign=top align=right| a.  | To aid the administrators, add a line with the day's date on it directly under the heading of the Current proposals subsection, if it has not already been added for this day.
The line should look like:
===[[Day# Month]] [[Year]]===

Using today's date as an example: ===[[22 May]] [[2024]]===
|- | ||

|- |valign=top align=right| b.  | To enter a request for a single page to be moved to a new name, add the following two lines at the top of the section under the date line (the second line consists of four hyphens) :
* [[PageName]] &rarr; '''[[NewName]]''' &mdash; reason for move &mdash; [[Talk:PageName]] &mdash; ~~~~
----

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, including your signature. Don't forget the "subst:" at the beginning!

|- | ||

|- |valign=top align=right| c.  | Include the page's name in your edit summary. Save this page. |- |colspan=2|

|-

What to do on the article page[edit]

If the move you are suggesting is uncontroversial – for example, it is correcting spelling or capitalisation – then update the article's text to reflect the article's new title. For example, if the article were at Blah Blah, but should be at Blah blah, then if the opening sentence began "Blah Blah is a...", you would update it to "Blah blah is a...".

Current proposals[edit]

Please list new proposals at the top of today's section (May 22) in the format described above. Actual discussions should take place on the listed talk page, not here.
