Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.
Wikipedia: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
Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:
- Making an uncontroversial move – if you can, be bold and do it yourself! If you can't, see § Requesting technical moves.
- Renaming a category – propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
- Renaming a stub template – propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion (because stub templates apply an equivalent category).
- Renaming an image or other file – see Wikipedia:Moving a page § Moving a file page.
- Moves from draft namespace or user space to article space – Unconfirmed users: add
{{subst:submit}}
to the top of the article. See Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Confirmed users: Move the page yourself. - Merging two articles – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers, or be bold and do it yourself.
- Splitting an article – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed article splits, or be bold and do it yourself.
- Requesting that page histories be merged – list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.
- Contesting a move request close – use the Wikipedia:Move review process.
Undiscussed moves
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.
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:..."
- Please make sure you really need technical assistance before making a request here. In particular, if the target page is a redirect back to the source page that has only one revision, you can usually move the page normally.
- To list a technical request: Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
the - To request a reversion of a recent undiscussed move: Review the the guidelines at WP:RMUM of whether a reversion of an undiscussed move qualifies as uncontroversial and if so, the Requests to revert undiscussed moves subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page. Note that in some cases, clerks, such as administrators or page movers may determine that your request for a reversion does not pass the criteria and may move the request to the contested section or open a formal requested move discussion for potentially controversial moves on your behalf.
{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
- If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
- If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page. A bot will automatically remove contested requests after 72 hours of inactivity.
Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Kumar Saravana → Saravana Kumar (currently a redirect instead to P Saravana Kumar) (move · discuss) – all sources cited call him Saravana Kumar, apart from a few that call him Saravanakumar.
- UPDATE: Saravana Kumar was originally created in 2021 as a redirect to P Saravana Kumar. In April the redirect was changed to an article about the current businessman, then redirected, with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Saravana Kumar closed as "already redirected" in May, with G7 eligibility unclear. Another editor then restored it in June, and it was redirected again. Looks like this should be considered as a controversial request after all. Connection between original April creator Evan Chumpino, June recreator Bobbis Singerrrr, and current recreator Raccoonspirit is also unclear. @Pppery and Onel5969: courtesy ping. 2A02:C7C:4D0A:A500:D166:DA64:AC83:4F4B (talk) 07:39, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- Lana Del Rey's 2023–2025 tour → Lana Del Rey's 2023 tour (currently a redirect back to Lana Del Rey's 2023–2025 tour) (move · discuss) – Article has now been corrected to focus on 2023 in support of Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd album, removing WP:SYNTHESIS of extending "tour" to subsequent disparate shows across years' long range. U-Mos (talk) 08:11, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- Raiders IHC → Romford Raiders (currently a redirect back to Raiders IHC) (move · discuss) – needs moving to the current name of this ice hockey team, see [1] NIHL sources. Buttons0603 (talk) 14:03, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- Fasiheddine Fetratt → Qari Fasihuddin (currently a redirect back to Fasiheddine Fetratt) (move · discuss) – Page was moved to Fasiheddine Fetratt by the blocked sock user:Hun Narkphanit and I'm looking to move it back. DervotNum4 (talk) 16:10, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
Contested technical requests
- PKP Pecheneg machine gun → PKP Pecheneg (currently a redirect back to PKP Pecheneg machine gun) (move · discuss) – PKP Pecheneg is already a WP:COMMONNAME that a disambiguator is not needed. The last move request discussion was back on 2017 and a redirect discussion that seems to suggest to move the article to PKP Pecheneg happened on 2021. I believe this is already an uncontroversial request with a strong support to move the article to PKP Pecheneg. 139.135.241.129 (talk) 23:31, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Moving to a title a prior full discussion failed to move to is by definition not uncontroversial. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:02, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- DoneDeal → DoneDeal.ie (move · discuss) – The official company name is "DoneDeal.ie", which better reflects the actual branding and reliable sources. DistilledIreland (talk) 16:59, 27 August 2025 (UTC) DistilledIreland (talk) 16:59, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- There is no proof given that it is the WP:COMMONNAME, which matters more than the official company name or branding. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:12, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- BBC Catchpoint → Catchpoint (currently a redirect instead to Catch points) (move · discuss) – BBC is not part of the show title. X201 (talk) 07:59, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- I would dispute that this is uncontroversial, as the primary topic for catchpoint appears to be Catch points. It has not been explained why the game show is primary in the slightest. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:48, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- The move isn't about it being primary topic. It's about moving an incorrectly titled article to the correct title. A ___location that is only being used as a redirect from a different spelling, something that can be easily remedied with a hatnote at the top of the article after the move. The move also avoids the need for disambiguation. - X201 (talk) 19:12, 27 August 2025 (UTC)

- Z (joke line) → Zzzzzz (restricted by the titleblacklist, which page movers can override) (move · discuss) – Most common name per sources. I was going to title this Zzzzzz originally, but a spamfilter prevented this. DigitalIceAge (talk) 21:52, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

- The Outer Limits episode is one 'Z' shorter than Zzzzzz, while the onomatopoeia for sleep should be a hatnote on both articles. Compare Aaaaa and Aaaaaa; Ffffff, FFFFFF, and Fffff; PPPPPPP, PPPPPP, Ppppp; vvvv and VVVVVV; etc. DigitalIceAge (talk) 22:58, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Not the primary topic. I've retargeted Zzzzzz to the dabpage. 162 etc. (talk) 16:38, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- I've reverted that, absent a formal discussion on the matter. I see no reason why it's not the primary topic. The onomatopoeia is at best just a WP:DICDEF and it has no article, plus it would be rare to spell it with six Zs. And nothing else on the dab page had six Zs. I think the only point of issue here is whether the common name for the game is Z or Zzzzzz. — Amakuru (talk) 17:02, 27 August 2025 (UTC)

- Oppose (for the next week or two) as being just a bit early for an WP:OFFICIALNAME change. Remember that there is no rush, and we follow the news here, and wait until not only are things official, but also after they have taken over as commonname. TiggerJay (talk) 04:42, 27 August 2025 (UTC)

- This should probably go to a full discussion, while noting that you're requesting a revert of a bold move. There are a couple of things going on as there was two back-to-back undiscussed moves. The first was to make room for a PTOPIC grab which is a DAB page to the two articles that share this name. This is an attempt to grab that back as PTOPIC for Saudi Arabia, as opposed to Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (Indonesia). The second move (made via RMTR) was a proper move per policy regarding paren-dab, which is probably itself fine. Note that it used to be Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (Saudi Arabia) last year, until the disambiguation was dropped as not needed. But since this is now a PTOPIC issue, and the other page does exist, this should not just be a routine speedy revert. TiggerJay (talk) 05:52, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Respectfully, I don't understand this objection and I have gone ahead and made the move. The article was at the target title until yesterday, when it was boldly moved to a disambiguated title, so a request to revert that move is in general uncontroversial. This was not a primary topic grab, but the opposite - a disambiguation page grab (although I don't like terminology of this nature, it implies wrongdoing where none exists). An RM on the matter may well be merited, but per usual convention such an RM should take place from the status quo ante not with a new title in place.

- Force field (technology) → Force field (fiction) (currently a redirect back to Force field (technology)) (move · discuss) – Was moved away from fiction because it is "possible". That does not, however, mean a working force field has been demonstrated, so it remains fictional in nature. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:38, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- As fictional technology, would this not be better at Force field (fictional technology)? I'm just observing the 4 years of status quo here, though not in disagreement that fiction is the natural disambiguator, only that a compromise might be better. CNC (talk) 10:22, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

- Given the "undiscussed move" was way back in 2021, I don't think this qualifies for a revert without discussion. Furthermore, this article has undergone multiple page moves over the years.

- If an RM is opened, I will support either Force field (fiction) or Force field (fictional technology) with a slight preference for (fiction) as the article references non-tech force fields (IE magic) as well. ASUKITE 15:49, 27 August 2025 (UTC)

Administrator needed
The discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. A move is potentially controversial if either of the following applies:
- there has been any past debate about the best title for the page;
- someone could reasonably disagree with the move.
Use this process if there is any reason to believe a move would be contested. For technical move requests, such as to correct obvious typographical errors, see Requesting technical moves. The technical moves procedure can also be used for uncontroversial moves when the requested title is occupied by an existing article.
Do not create a new move request when one is already open on the same talk page. Instead, consider contributing to the open discussion if you would like to propose another alternative. Multiple closed move requests may be on the same page, but each should have a unique section heading.
Do not create a move request to rename one or more redirects. Redirects cannot be used as current titles in requested moves.
Requesting a single page move
To request a single page move, click on the "Add topic" (or "New section") tab of the talk page of the article you want moved, without adding a new subject/header, inserting this code:
{{subst:requested move|New name|reason=Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically.}}
Replace New name
with the requested new name of the page (or with a simple question mark, if you want more than one possible new name to be considered). The template will automatically create the heading "Requested move 28 August 2025" and sign the post for you.
There is no need to edit the article in question. Once the above code is added to the Talk page, a bot will automatically add the following notification at the top of the affected page:
A request that this page title be changed is under discussion. Please do not move this page until the discussion is closed. |
Unlike other request processes on Wikipedia, such as Requests for comment, nominations need not be neutral. Make your point as best you can; use evidence (such as Google Ngrams and pageview statistics) and refer to applicable policies and guidelines, especially our article titling policy and the guideline on disambiguation and primary topics.
WikiProjects may subscribe to Article alerts to receive RM notifications. For example, Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Article alerts/Requested moves is transcluded to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography. RMCD bot notifies many of the other Wikiprojects listed on the talk page of the article to be moved to invite project members to participate in the RM discussion. Requesters should feel free to notify any other Wikiproject or noticeboard that might be interested in the move request, as long as this notification is neutral.
Single page move on a different talk page
Occasionally, a move request must be made on a talk page other than the talk page of the page to be moved. For example, a request to rename Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources to Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing and templates would need to take place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation because the talk page of the project page to be moved, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources, is a redirect to that centralized discussion page. In this type of case, the requested move should be made using the following code:
{{subst:requested move|reason=(the reason for the page move goes here).|current1=(present title of page to be renamed)|new1=(proposed title of page)}}
The |1=
unnamed parameter is not used. The |current1=
and |new1=
parameters are used similar to multiple page moves described below.
Requesting multiple page moves
A single template may be used to request multiple related moves. On one of the talk pages of the affected pages, create a request and format it as below. A sample request for three page moves is shown here (for two page moves, omit the lines for current3 and new3). For four page moves, add lines for current4 and new4, and so on. There is no technical limit on the number of multiple move requests, but before requesting very large multi-moves, consider whether a naming convention should be changed first. Discuss that change on the talk page for the naming convention, e.g., Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (sportspeople).
To request a multiple page move, edit at the bottom of the talk page of the article you chose for your request, without adding a new header, inserting this code:
{{subst:requested move
| current1 = Current title of page 1 (this parameter can be omitted for discussions hosted on a page that is proposed to be moved)
| new1 = New title for page 1 with the talk page hosting this discussion
| current2 = Current title of page 2
| new2 = New title for page 2
| current3 = Current title of page 3
| new3 = New title for page 3
| reason = Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically.
}}
For example, to propose moving the articles Wikipedia
and Wiki
, put this template on Talk:Wikipedia
with current1
set to Wikipedia
and current2
set to Wiki
. The discussion for all affected articles is held on the talk page of the article where the template is placed (Talk:Wikipedia
). Do not sign the request with ~~~~
, since the template does this automatically (so if you sign it yourself there will be two copies of your signature at the end of the request). Do not skip pairs of numbers.
RMCD bot automatically places a notice section on the talk page of all pages that are included in your request except the one hosting the discussion, to call attention to the move discussion that is in progress and to suggest that all discussion for all of the pages included in the request should take place at that one hosting ___location.
For multi-move discussions hosted on a page which is itself proposed to be moved, it is not necessary to include the |current1=Current title of page 1
for the page hosting the discussion, as its current title can be inferred automatically. Occasionally the discussions for significant multi-move requests may be hosted on WikiProject talk pages or other pages in Project namespace, in which case it is necessary to include |current1=
to indicate the first article to be moved.
If you have to update a RM from a single move to multiple moves, you need to add the following parameters to the {{requested move/dated}} template call:
|multiple=yes
|current1=Current title of page 1
Request all associated moves explicitly
Please list every move that you wish to have made in your request. For example, if you wish to move Cricket (disambiguation) to Cricket because you do not believe the sport is the primary topic for the search term "Cricket", then you actually want to move two pages, both Cricket (disambiguation) and Cricket. Thus you must list proposed titles for each page affected by your request. For example, you might propose:
If a new title is not proposed for the sport, it is more difficult to achieve consensus for a new title for that article. A move request that does not show what to do with the material at its proposed target, such as:
is incomplete. Such requests may be completed as a request to decide the best new title by discussion.
- Cricket → ?
If a disambiguation page is in the way of a move, the request may be completed as proposing to add (disambiguation).

Commenting on a requested move
All editors are welcome to contribute to the discussion regarding a requested page move. There are a number of standards that Wikipedians should practice in such discussions:
- When editors recommend a course of action, they write Support or Oppose in bold text, which is done by surrounding the word with three single quotes on each side, e.g.
'''Support'''
. - Comments or recommendations are added on a new bulleted line (that is, starting with *) and signed by adding
~~~~
to the end. Responses to another editor are threaded and indented using multiple bullets. - The article itself should be reviewed before any recommendation is made; do not base recommendations solely on the information supplied by other editors. It may also help to look at the article's edit history. However, please read the earlier comments and recommendations, as well as prior move requests. They may contain relevant arguments and useful information.
- Vested interests in the article should be disclosed per Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI.
When participating, please consider the following:
- Editors should make themselves familiar with the article titling policy at Wikipedia:Article titles.
- Other important guidelines that set forth community norms for article titles include Wikipedia:Disambiguation, specific naming conventions, and the manual of style.
- The debate is not a vote; please do not make recommendations that are not sustained by arguments.
- Explain how the proposed article title meets or contravenes policy and guidelines rather than merely stating that it does so.
- Nomination already implies that the nominator supports the name change, and nominators should refrain from repeating this recommendation on a separate bulleted line.[a]
- Do not make conflicting recommendations. If you change your mind, use strike-through to retract your previous statement by enclosing it between <s> and </s> after the bullets, and de-bold the struck words, as in "•
SupportOppose".
Please remember that reasonable editors will sometimes disagree, but that arguments based in policy, guidelines, and evidence have more weight than unsupported statements. When an editor offers an argument that does not explain how the move request is consistent with policies and guidelines, a reminder to engage in constructive, on-topic discussion may be useful. On the other hand, a pattern of responding to requests with groundless opinion, proof by assertion, and ignoring content guidelines may become disruptive. If a pattern of disruptive behavior persists after efforts are made to correct the situation through dialogue, please consider using a dispute resolution process.
Closing a requested move
Any uninvolved editor in good standing may close a move request. Please read the closing instructions for information on how to close a move request. The Simple guide to closing RM discussions details how to actually close a requested move discussion.
Relisting a requested move
Relisting a discussion moves the request out of the backlog up to the current day in order to encourage further input. The decision to relist a discussion is best left to uninvolved experienced editors upon considering, but declining, to close the discussion. In general, discussions should not be relisted more than once before properly closing.[b] Users relisting a debate which has already been relisted, or relisting a debate with a substantial discussion, should write a short explanation on why they did not consider the debate sufficient to close. While there is no consensus forbidding participation in a requested move discussion after relisting it, many editors consider it an inadvisable form of supervote. If you want to relist a discussion and then participate in it, be prepared to explain why you think it was appropriate.
Relisting should be done using {{subst:RM relist}}
, which automatically includes the relister's signature, and which must be placed at the very end of the initial request after the move requester's signature (and subsequent relisters' signatures).
When a relisted discussion reaches a resolution, it may be closed at any time according to the closing instructions; there is no required length of time to wait before closing a relisted discussion.
If discussion has become stale, or it seems that discussion would benefit from more input of editors versed in the subject area, consider more widely publicizing the discussion, such as by notifying WikiProjects of the discussion using the template {{RM notification}}. Banners placed at the top of the talk page hosting the move request can often be used to identify WikiProjects suitable for notification.
Notes
- ^ A nominator making a procedural nomination with which they may not agree is free to add a bulleted line explaining their actual position. Additional detail, such as sources, may also be provided in an additional bullet point if its inclusion in the nomination statement would make the statement unwieldy. Please remember that the entire nomination statement appears on the list on this page.
- ^ Despite this, discussions are occasionally relisted more than once.
- This section lists all requests filed or identified as potentially controversial which are currently under discussion.
Do not attempt to edit this list manually; a bot will automatically update the page soon after the {{subst:Requested move}} template is added to the discussion on the relevant talk page. The entry is removed automatically soon after the discussion is closed. To make a change to an entry, make the change on the linked talk page. |

- (Discuss) – 2011 Philadelphia, Mississippi tornado → 2011 Philadelphia tornado – All media refers to the tornado as the "Philadelphia tornado" or the "Philadelphia EF5", and confusion with the city in Pennsylvania is highly unlikely. 2600:1700:6180:6290:1ED2:ADA0:9DF:93A5 (talk) 10:26, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Michelle Williams (singer) → Michelle Williams (entertainer) – It has been four months since the RM discussion about the film and television actress Michelle Williams, and one editor noted that a separate RM could be discussed here. I am no longer including the film/TV actress in this discussion because, given the page views comparison between the two people, it shows that the Dawson's Creek actress clearly gets more pageviews than the former Destiny's Child member.

- (Discuss) – Portland Fire → Portland Fire (2026) – A recent requested move for a different article, which was directly inspired by the above merge discussion and the subsequent completed technical move request by Annh07, was rejected per a consensus that the subject was too young to be a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. It's only right that I now question whether this franchise that has not played a single game yet is a primary topic, regardless of its widespread coverage in reliable, independent sources.

- (Discuss) – PKP Pecheneg machine gun → PKP Pecheneg – PKP Pecheneg is already a WP:COMMONNAME that a disambiguator is not needed. The last move request discussion was back on 2017 and a redirect discussion that seems to suggest to move the article to PKP Pecheneg happened on 2021. I believe this is already an uncontroversial request with a strong support to move the article to PKP Pecheneg. 139.135.241.129 (talk) 23:31, 27 August 2025 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). 112.198.66.1 (talk) 05:05, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Template:Top icon → Template:Topicon – Related templates such as {{Accountcreator topicon}}, {{Rollback topicon}}, and {{Autopatrolled topicon}} all use one word, and in discussions "topicon" is more common than "top icon". We should standardize around one version, and given current usage it seems like one word would be the easier target. Although there is a bit of a readability tradeoff, "topicon" has the advantage of helping clarify that we're referring to a specific type of icon in the upper right, not just a generic icon at the top of the page (which could also be e.g. the logo at the upper left).

- (Discuss) – 2022 Winterset tornado → Winterset tornado – Shorter title per WP:CONCISE and WP:PRECISE. This tornado holds a very large WP:PRIMARYTOPIC reasoning, with several news articles directly calling it "Winterset tornado", rather than "2022 Winterset tornado". A list of these sources will be below. This tornado was also direct inspiration for the TORNADO Act (Confirmation here; called "Winterset tornado" in article), a currently-proposed U.S. congressional bill, adding additional value to this tornado as a primary topic. After extensive searches, I was unable to locate any other tornadoes that could possibly have been referenced as the "Winterset tornado". #Inside Edition article over a year after the tornado, calling it "the Winterset Tornado" in the title. Date is directly mentioned in the article, due to it being a survivor story, however it is not called "2022 Winterset tornado". #Des Moines Register article 1 year after tornado, calling it "the Winterset tornado". #WHO13 news story calling it "Winterset tornado" #KCCI news article does not reference it as "Winterset tornado" in the article, but rather references it in the URL: "winterset-tornado-devastating-damage-hope-for-recovery". #Peer-reviewed academic paper with reference to this tornado in Winterset. #Peer-reviewed academic paper with reference to this tornado in Winterset. #ResearchGate case study called it "Winterset-Newton tornado" with no year in the sentence.

- (Discuss) – Revisionism (Marxism) → Marxist reformism – The current title carries pejorative implications. "Marxist reformism" is a more neutral, descriptive label consistent with Wikipedia’s neutrality policy. The old title can remain as a redirect and be noted in the article as the pejorative form.

- (Discuss) – Immigration policy of the Donald Trump administration → Immigration policy of the Trump administration – This is to improve article title consistency by implementing a result from a recent RfC, in which a small majority of commenters were in favor of removing "Donald" in such titles. Another RM was also closed to be consistent with that. If these renamings are agreed, we should also work our way through the other titles that contain "[Full name] administration" for other presidents with unambiguous surnames (avoiding Adams, Bush, Johnson, etc.). Actually, a large majority (about 80% or more) of similar titles for other unambiguous presidential surnames includes the given name of each president, but in a recent RM there was no appetite for making the titles consistent in the other direction. For the last three of these titles, we might also want to consider changing "Trump administration" to "first Trump administration" for additional clarity. Note that four of these are disambiguation pages rather than articles. — BarrelProof (talk) 00:04, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

Juna (song) has surpassed this in its 5 days of existence. Anyway, the bigger reason is that "Juna" doesn't even appear in the source it is cited with ([10], source 3), making it unclear why it redirects to Jask-e Kohneh. jolielover♥talk 17:45, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Will to live → Will to life – All Schopenhauer sources refer to it as the will to life, not live (to name just a few, the Cambridge edition of WWR, Sophia Vasalou (2013), Dale Jacquette (2005), while I've not found one that translates it as 'life'. In its current state, this article is an improper conflation (or SYNTH to use a wikipedist term) of two distinct concepts. Loafiewa (talk) 17:27, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Newcomb's paradox → Newcomb's problem – I propose moving this page to "Newcomb's problem" as that is the more common name in sources. For instance, one of the few books dedicated exclusively to the problem, Ahmed (2018), calls it "Newcomb's problem" in the title. So did the famous paper by Nozick that introduced it.

- (Discuss) – Israeli blockade of aid delivery to the Gaza Strip → Israeli protests against humanitarian aid during the Gaza war – Very open to alternative phrasing. The current name does not accurately reflect article content, which is focused on Israeli civilian protests against the provision of humanitarian aid to Gaza. The term blockade usually refers to military action; the blockade by Israel itself is covered by Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip (2023–present). Unsure about new title; my suggestion is based on the phrase "protest against humanitarian aid" used at Gaza war protests in Israel#Protest against humanitarian aid.

- (Discuss) – North East MRT line → North East MRT Line – Originally, these pages had the capitalisation before Dickylon moved all of them without proper consensus from the community. Yes, there is a similar precedent of the 2018 discussion to move X MRT Station -> X MRT station, but in those cases, local sources do not capitalise them (especially in this clear example). However, plenty of local sources have capitalise the Line [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16]. As such, I'm gathering consensus here whether to move these pages back with the proper capitalisations. Also, as per that move consensus of the stations, while these sources do not have "MRT" when talking about the lines, the "MRT" provides conciseness and disambiguation on Wikipedia. Note: The North–South and East–West MRT lines have the en-dash because official sources have them, and also because they run from north to south and east to west respectively. But North East line does not because the line serves the northeast region, not that it goes from north to east. ZKang123 (talk · contribs) 00:56, 27 August 2025 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – James Matthews (racing driver) → James Matthews (hedge fund manager) – Considering his motorsport career was brief and low-key (He won two regional Formula Renault titles in the same year (both of which don't have pages) and placed a highest of 9th in a regional formula 3 series), and he is probably most well-known for being the brother-in-law to William, Prince of Wales, should his article title state something different than 'racing driver'? Like, 'hedge fund manager' or 'British aristocrat' considering he is currently a billionaire hedge fund manager and the current heir to the Laird of Glen Affric, and both of those are probably much more influential and long-term to his standing than a few years of what was probably just a hobby in the mid-90s. I think 'hedge fund manager' is more reflective of his current status in the world and it is listed before 'racing driver' in the infobox. Also, from my personal point of view, I discovered this man from Pippa Middleton and not motorsport and I think that it reflects a wider user experience of him being known for something else than motorsport, especially as the majority of the sources also relate to other things Tangost1 (talk) 03:00, 20 August 2025 (UTC) — Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Preston Bullants Football Club → Preston Football Club (VFL) – Club new official name is Preston Football Club with onfield name Preston Bullants. "Preston Bullants Football Club" is certainly wrong and would more likely be thought to refer to Preston Bullants Amateur Football Club; the editor who made the move may have gone this way because the Preston Football Club (with no dab, VFA dab and VFL dab) were all already taken. That leaves just the choice between Preston Football Club (VFA) and Preston Bullants, and consistency with the rest of the AFL project would favour the former.

- (Discuss) – Air Force Reserve Command → ? – Per WP:COMMONNAME AND WP:PRECISE, I propose this page be moved to either "United States Air Force Reserve" or "Air Force Reserve," with a tertiary option of "Air Force Reserve (United States)." The legal entity is known as the "(United States) Air Force Reserve." Per the United States Congress, "There are seven reserve components: ...Air Force Reserve." Federal law defines the entity as the "Air Force Reserve," per 10 U.S.C. § 10110. Per 10 U.S.C. §10174, "[t]he Secretary of the Air Force, with the advice and assistance of the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, shall establish an Air Force Reserve Command. The Air Force Reserve Command shall be operated as a separate command of the Air Force... ...The Chief of Air Force Reserve is the Commander of the Air Force Reserve Command."
Alternatively, we could delete the re-direct found here and create a seperate "Air Force Reserve" article, modify this (Air Force Reserve Command) article slightly... bring us in-line with articles like United States Army Reserve versus United States Army Reserve Command.
I'm open to all of these options, but we need to do something... "Air Force Reserve" hasn't been touched in nigh-on 20 years. And, more importantly, the AFR and the AFRC are two separate entities. AFRC just happens to be the entity which 'commands' all USAFR units.

- (Discuss) – David Kramer (talent agent) → David Kramer (executive) – I'd like to suggest a page move on behalf of United Talent Agency and as part of my work at Beutler Ink. Currently, the phrase "talent agent" is used as a disambiguator. While the subject has been a talent agent, he was named president in 2022 and chief executive officer (CEO) in 2025. The article's opening sentence leads with describing him as an "entertainment industry executive" and the short description is "American talent agency executive".

- (Discuss) – KXTV/KOVR/KCRA Tower → Transtower – Broadcast towers don't often have common names. And this is definitely not the right one in context. While KXTV, KOVR, and KCRA all broadcast from here in between 1962 and the mid-80s, they all built even taller towers nearby in the mid-1980s, which are still in use. The proposed name comes from the joint venture set up by the stations back then to manage the facility (Transtower Inc.), which remains an active business. The KXTV/KOVR tower article is not proposed to change, as that is the tower they actually use. The article requires some work, but I already have key references for repairing it from having done all of Sacramento's major TV stations. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 17:26, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Rectifier (neural networks) → Rectified linear unit – WP:COMMONNAME People usually call it ReLU. Looking at the ngrams, "rectifier" refers to something invented before machine learning was invented in the 1950s. As the article subject trended, "ReLU" increased in popularity but "rectifier" didn't, meaning it is unlikely that people are using "rectifier" to refer to this new function. 174.138.218.72 (talk) 15:00, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Militar Directory of Primo de Rivera → Military directorate of Miguel Primo de Rivera – I cannot find any English language source referring to this as "Militar" (all I find refer to it with its English translation, "military"), with "militar" being the actual Spanish word for "military" which, seemingly, was left untranslated from the title. Plus, the sources I see actually translate directorio as "directorate", rather than "directory" ([26] [27] [28] [29] [30]). Thus, it should use "military directorate" as per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:ENGLISH. Also, as per WP:NCCAPS, since the title does not use "directory" as a proper name by itself but, rather, as a common word ([the military directorate of Primo de Rivera], rather than [the Military Directorate] as in French Directory), it should be left uncapitalized (in the same way as other pages for government cabinets, particularly for Spanish governments—such as Third government of Pedro Sánchez—but also others such as Starmer ministry, Merz cabinet, etc.). The same would apply to Civil Directory of Primo de Rivera, but in that case there are no translation issues. Since both titles should follow the same structure and formatting—being so closely related—requesting a multiple page move seems wiser. Finally, the full "Miguel Primo de Rivera" name should be added to respect WP:CONSISTENCY with other articles on governments in Spain (Third government of Pedro Sánchez, Premiership of Pedro Sánchez, etc.), as well as WP:PRECISE (Miguel was not the only politically relevant "Primo de Rivera", as his eldest son, José Antonio Primo de Rivera, was the founder of Falange Española and Falange Española de las JONS, which would provide the political platforms for the dictatorship of Francisco Franco).

- (Discuss) – Doctor Who series 14 → Doctor Who season 1 (2024) – Following the recommendations at Talk:Doctor Who series 15#Requested move 17 March 2025 and Wikipedia:Move review/Log/2025 July#Doctor Who series 15, two moves have now been completed for the articles now residing at Doctor Who season 1 (1963–1964) and Doctor Who season 2 (1964–1965). Procedurally, the series 14/15 articles can now be moved as proposed. I contend that seasons 1 and 2 are now the most WP:COMMONNAMEs for the 2024 and 2025 series, with clear direction of travel towards that over the last year. There is also the benefit of recongnisability in using the WP:OFFICIALNAMEs here: readers may not expect a season they know only as "season 1" to be located at "series 14"; they are less likely to be unaware of the "season 1" title, given it is prominent in all releases and marketing, and are aided further by the years of release existing in the proposed titles.

- (Discuss) – Patterns of Force (Star Trek: The Original Series) → Patterns of Force – Currently, Patterns of Force is a disambiguation page. But it has only one other target, which is a novel in the Star Wars universe, but that link is actually a redirect to Michael Reaves, who I suppose must be the author. If the novel isn't even notable enough for its own page, it seems unlikely that it's going to compete with the Star Trek episode for searches or links.

I propose moving each of the brony-centric pages to more WP:CONCISE terms, all of which contain the word "brony" in one way of another. Repeating what I said in the move request for brony fandom, "Brony" and "Brony fandom" are far more WP:CONCISE and WP:COMMONNAMES than My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom. This is WP:CONSISTENT with the recent move of MLP: FIM fandom to Brony fandom. I'm proposing "Bronyspeak", "Brony music", and "Brony charities" as they are more concise than "[topic] of the brony fandom" with the exceptions being the criticism and online communities pages as I see no concise alternatives. The only proposed title I'm unsure of is the fan fiction page, and I could go with either My Little Pony fan fiction or Brony fan fiction. Anyways, what do you think?

- (Discuss) – Misumi USA → Misumi Group Inc. – Per WP:AT and WP:NCCORP, the encyclopedic topic is the publicly listed, Japan-headquartered parent company with global operations and multiple subsidiaries (including MISUMI USA). The current title “MISUMI USA” implies a US-centric scope, whereas significant independent coverage concerns the wider multinational group. Per MOS:CAPS and MOS:TM, Wikipedia generally avoids stylized ALL-CAPS in titles; the brand is stylized as MISUMI and this can be noted in the lead and infobox.

- (Discuss) – Rufous beaked snake → Rhamphiophis oxyrhynchus – "Rufous beaked snake" is not the primary common name of the species discussed in this article (Rhamphiophis oxyrhynchus), but rather, the common name of a closely related species, Rhamphiophis rostratus, previously considered a subspecies of R. oxyrhynchus. This article was originally located at the binomial, but was moved to this common name by @Gigemag76 in 2013. Some older sources will use rufous beaked snake as a common name for R. oxyrhynchus in reference to the circumscription that included R. rostratus, making locating either species article at the common name confusing for readers. All the modern field guides I can access use the name rufous beaked snake to refer to R. rostratus, and use the common name western beaked snake to refer to R. oxyrhynchus sensu stricto, as does IUCN assessment for R. rostratus and the IUCN assessment for R. oxyrhynchus. I would suggest moving this article to the binomial name Rhamphiophis oxyrhynchus for maximum clarity, and redirecting "rufous beaked snake" to the genus article Rhamphiophis or blanking it for now and later redirecting it to Rhamphiophis rostratus (which I plan to create in the future) with a hatnote mentioning Rhamphiophis oxyrhynchus.

- (Discuss) – Flat Display Mounting Interface → VESA mounting standard – VESA is overwhelmingly the WP:COMMONNAME for this type of mount. "Flat Display Mounting Interface" is an obscure technical name that most people (including myself a few minutes ago) will not recognize (recognizability is one of the five WP:CRITERIA for good article titles). On VESA's website, their page about the standard is titled "Mounting Standard", with FDMI as a small subtitle. Looking at just about any other site (found via Google, etc) that talks about the standard, they will overwhelmingly call it VESA mount and only mention FDMI as an alternate name (if they mention it at all). Google Ngram Viewer shows that VESA is far more used than FDMI. I can't compare to "FDMI mount" or "Flat Display Mounting Interface" because they are too rarely used; it says "Ngram not found". Although the article currently lists "VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS)" as an alternate title, it appears that this is actually the name of an obsolete standard from 1999; it was superseded by FDMI in 2002 (per FDMI v1.1). Thus, that title isn't suitable; "VESA mounting standard" (in lowercase because it's not a proper noun) seems like the best fit (especially given its use on the official website).

- (Discuss) – Template:Barnstar2 → Template:Barnstar – There are two generic base templates for Barnstars. The first produces an image box, which is a fairly unusual/old way of displaying them. It was at Template:Barnstar until I just moved it to Template:Barnstar image box. The second, Template:Barnstar2, produces the modern wide talk page box. I suggest moving it to the freed-up Template:Barnstar spot over the redirect to help make it easier to find. The image box template had a subst-only message, but there are about 200 transclusions (mostly on old user pages) from people who didn't follow that advice, so those would have to be fixed first to clear out the spot. My second choice would be to move Template:Barnstar2 to something like Template:Barnstar talk message. Sdkb talk 14:16, 14 August 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPathtalk 09:42, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Further, while Napolitano was the predominant creative force behind Pretty & Twisted, directing that title to her page downplays the other musicians in the band, whereas directing to the album better represents the band as a unit. 2605:A601:A083:BC00:A3E0:8692:A1A2:73C7 (talk) 05:23, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – John Hancock Tower → 200 Clarendon Street – Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:PRECISION, "200 Clarendon Street" is the name most consistently used in current reliable sources, official references, and by building occupants. The "John Hancock" name has not been used for this building in any official capacity for approximately a decade, and John Hancock Insurance is no longer an occupant. Recent reliable sources demonstrate this usage. For example, on August 6, 2024, The Boston Globe published an article titled "Bain Capital inks deal to expand headquarters at 200 Clarendon." Similar usage appears across other local media outlets. A Google Books NGRAM search shows a significant decline in "John Hancock Tower" usage between 2015 and 2022, and more recent news publications seem to favor the name "200 Clarendon." News articles that use the name "John Hancock Tower" only do so in contexts acknowledging the former name while emphasizing the new one. Signage also reflects this change. There is no "John Hancock" signage on 200 Clarendon, whereas the building directly across the street at 200 Berkeley prominently displays "John Hancock" signs on the roof and above the Clarendon St entrance, creating potential confusion for readers. Additionally, 200 Clarendon’s new "200 Club" social lounge (opened 2025) and internal communication from owner BXP to tenants reinforce the "200 Clarendon" name. From my personal experience having worked in 200 Clarendon from 2021 to present, occupants primarily call the building "200 Clarendon", and non-occupants avoid the "John Hancock" name due to confusion with 200 Berkeley. Finally, the current article title creates disambiguation issues, as "John Hancock" has been applied to multiple other buildings in Boston and elsewhere. "200 Clarendon Street" avoids ambiguity (per WP:NATURAL), aligns with current reliable sources, and reflects the building's official and common name.

- (Discuss) – The Jungle (Wheldon Road) → Wheldon Road – Under the five WP:CRITERIA for article titles, Wheldon Road seems to fit better than the current The Jungle (Wheldon Road) on three points: Concision, Naturalness and Consistency. *Concision: This is the most apparent benefit. Wheldon Road unambiguously identifies the subject in two words rather than four, and avoids the need for parenthetical disambiguation due to the numerous other meanings of The Jungle. *Naturalness: Wheldon Road is the WP:COMMONNAME and enduring historical title, prominently used in reliable sources including match reports and redevelopment news. The Jungle is frequently used as a nickname or alternative, but sources discussing the stadium rarely refer solely to The Jungle without also specifically identifying it as Wheldon Road. *Consistency: Article title convention for similar sports stadia is to avoid sponsored names where a well-known and stable historical alternative exists, for example Kirklees Stadium, City of Manchester Stadium, and Mount Pleasant, Batley. The Jungle originated from a sponsorship deal by Jungle.com (later continued as Mend-A-Hose Jungle), whereas Wheldon Road had been the sole name before this. The new sponsored name OneBore Stadium also omits official reference to 'Jungle' entirely. Ieatseatbelts (talk) 23:23, 13 August 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPathtalk 10:36, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Odaenathus' Sasanian Campaign → Odaenathus' Sasanian Campaigns – We have been going into a discussion regarding Odaenathus' campaigns against the sasanians, Numerous sources mentioned that Odaenathus conducted more than a campaign: # The Abridged history of Arabs before Islam (in Arabic) Second Volume, page: 634-635,by Jawad Ali: :he gathered whatever forces he had and swiftly surprised the Sasanians with an attack that terrified them, striking such fear into them that they abandoned to him most of what they had obtained as spoils from their war with the Romans. They also lost some of the king's wives, who fell captive into the hands of Odaenathus' forces. The king of Palmyra was not satisfied with this revenge alone, but hastened in the year 263 CE to attack Mesopotamia, where he defeated Shapur, then besieged his capital, Ctesiphon The Sassanians continued to fight against Odaenathus in hopes of defeating him and taking revenge upon him until the year 265 CE, but they were not successful, as Odaenathus was murdered. Shapur was never being able to take his revenge against him. :as well as the same book but volume 3 page 94: :Perhaps Odaenathus' increasing pressure on the Persians, which compelled them to abandon Dura, thereby cleared the way for the Roman garrison to return to this city, Odaenathus managed to liberate Mesopotamia from the Persians and conquered Nisibis and Harran. # Syvänne, Ilkka (2019). The Reign of Emperor Gallienus: The Apogee of Roman Cavalry, Pen & Sword Military. ISBN 978-1-526-74521-7 page 151-152: he retook Nisibis, Carrhae and Mesopotamia almost immediately, then defeated Shapur himself and pursued Shapur and Shapur’s children as far as Ctesiphon, capturing Shapur’s concubines and a great amount of booty. However, on the basis of the HA ( Gall .10.1ff.) it is possible that the re-conquest of Carrhae and Nisibis took place later in 264. If this is true then, Odaenathus would actually have conducted three campaigns against the Persians: the first in 259–261, in the course of which he pursued Shapur up to Ctesiphon and from where he then returned to fight the Macriani; the second in 264, when he re-conquered Nisibis and Carrhae; and the third in 266–267 against Ctesiphon, after which he turned back to face the Goths Whatever the truth, Odaenathus appears to have received Gallienus’ order to return to crush Macrianus when Odaenathus was fighting in the neighbourhood of Ctesiphon in 261. The other reason for his readiness to retreat back to Roman territory was of course the fact that the Persian satraps were harassing his forces that were besieging Ctesiphon. Consequently, he was quite ready to obey. There also exists a dedication which praises Septimius Herodianus (likely to be Odaenathus’s eldest son Herodes) for his victory over the Persians near the Orontes River. This dedication has been used as evidence that Herodes inflicted a serious defeat on the Persians and forced them to retreat from Antioch. One may make the educated guess that this defeat together with the successes of Odaenathus forced Shapur to start his retreat that then led to the battle in which Shapur was defeated and forced to flee to Ctesiphon # Drinkwater, John (2005).Maximinus to Diocletian and the 'Crisis'.

He may have tried to obtain Shapur's good will after the capture of Valerian; either his efforts were rebuffed or he was merely gaining time while raising a new Roman-Arab army to dispute Shapur's control of the Roman dominions of the East. The threat of Odaenathus small army seems to have caused Shapur to withdraw eastward from Cappadocia (261).

- (Discuss) – On conducting a special military operation → Speech by Vladimir Putin regarding the start of the invasion of Ukraine – The background to this is in the section above, but here is an account of the issue. The question of making the move was raised by NikitaIsNext05, and on checking I found that I agreed with their concerns. Freedoxm has stated that he disagrees,
but has so far not said why.There are, it seems to me, two issues: the title has no official status, apparently having been invented for this Wikipedia article, and it is not a helpful or informative title. I shall deal with each of those points. * "On conducting a special military operation" is not used as a title for the speech in any significant or reliable source, including the official Russian government publication of the speech. The speech on the Russian government website is titled "Обращение Президента Российской Федерации"; the English version on the Russian government web site is titled "Address by the President of the Russian Federation", which is also how Google translates the Russian title. (Those two versions are respectively at http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/67843 and http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/67843.) "On conducting a special military operation" is a quote from the speech, but I have searched extensively, and the use of it as a title for the speech has, as far as I can see, been invented by a Wikipedia editor. I have not found any example anywhere of use of the Russian version as a title, and its use in English is largely restricted to wikis and similar sites, all of which have either certainly or probably derived it from this Wikipedia article. * The title "On conducting a special military operation" is not helpful to the reader, as it does nothing to convey what the article is about. * Since the title of this article is neither an official title nor a title in use in reliable sources, and since it does not indicate the subject matter of the article, it would be much better replaced by something which does indicate what the article is about. NikitaIsNext05 mentioned that the Russian Wikipedia article has the title (in translation) "Speech by Vladimir Putin regarding the start of the invasion of Ukraine", and I have accepted that, as it clearly indicates what the article is about, but I am not wedded to that form of words if anyone has a better suggestion. Certainly I see that as far better than the current title. JBW (talk) 19:54, 3 August 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPathtalk 11:29, 11 August 2025 (UTC) — Relisting.

Pūriri is a well-known, widespread NZ tree, and was logged heavily for timber, and is important in the Māori world (e.g. https://www.nzgeo.com/stories/princely-puriri/).

- (Discuss) – Équinoxe → Equinoxe – Adherence to WP:TITLE, with a sensible and particular attention to WP:COMMONNAME, WP:ENGLISHTITLE, WP:TRANSLITERATE and WP:TITLESPECIALCHARACTERS would result in this article being titled Equinoxe (note the lack of diacritic/accent on the E). * This article was originally created with no diacritic October 13, 2004 * It was moved to a diacritical title without any apparent discussion November 3, 2008 * The first attempt at discussion about the title started December 29, 2009 ** The editor attempted to show that the artist had not used a diacritic in the title of their work, by referencing images of various release covers on Discogs ** While the use of Discogs as a source should be very carefully considered, it only shows what is unarguably clear on the artist's official website ** There was no mention of policies or even guidelines, and while there was no immediate direct response to this attempt, a few responses did come over time * The next discussion was a sloppy request to move back to a non-diacritical title started February 16, 2010 ** The initial request included another reference to Discogs as the sole argument, with again, no mention of policy ** Through the entire move request discussion, policy was not mentioned ** The page was moved back to the non-diacritical title February 24, 2010 * A short editing war broke out over the use of the diacritic in the content, which for no apparent reason ended April 11, 2010 in the content being strewn with diacritics while the title had none; no mentions of policy throughout ** The final edit of this war was mentioned in one of those few comments added May 15, 2010 to the section of the first attempt to discuss the title, when it was suggested that it should be reverted, though never was ** The editor then suggesting that the diacritics should be removed, has since gone on to suggest that they should be kept August 13, 2025 * An editor decided to move the article again, without any apparent discussion or mention of policy, to the diacritical title January 18, 2013 * Literally nothing happened for over a decade... * I sloppily attempted to start a new discussion of the how the diacritic should not be in the title August 5, 2025, pinging some editors previously involved ** The immediate response was enthusiastic original research ** Realising that some clarity was needed, I noted the relevant policies, and that there was mistitled sources and even misquotes in the article which all need fixing ** While I have repeatedly referred to the relevant policies, the responses in favour of the diacritic have been what reads like unreasonable nonsense about stylistics, WP:HYPHEN (yeah, I have no idea why) and one bizarrely-arrived-at conclusion that the diacritic should remain in the title from the same editor who suggested the diacritics in the content should be removed when the title had no diacritic in 2010 My evaluation of the history of this article's title changes is that the policies have been completely ignored in favour of personal preference and original research. It is clear what the relevant policies are, and they themselves are clear; this article should be titled with no diacritic. I am certain that this move is completely uncontroversial with regard to policy, and there has never been and I can't imagine there ever being any reasonable opposition to it, but there has been, albeit ridiculous, "debate" about the diacritic in the title before, so so here we are.

- (Discuss) – Luigi → Luigi (given name) – I have reviewed about the recent RM about the Nintendo character with the same name, and noticed some problems: Yes, several figures from wikinav and simiar resources suggested the fictional character can't be considered as WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, but I also noticed that: There's also no other pages which can be considered as the same. So at least here I think: There's no clue for any single page under the same name to be considered as WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. So here I suggest a compromise solution: Make the disambiguation page to be the main title, and move the currect main page (a common Italian name) under the disambiguation title–if no single page can be WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, then this solution is a better balance between some famous fictional characters and a common given name, also along with other meanings listed.

- (Discuss) – Russian invasion of Ukraine → Russia–Ukraine war – Sources almost universally describe the current conflict as a war. The word "invasion" is used only in reference to Russia's initial 24 February act of invasion, and is not used to describe the current war, three years long. [44][45][46][47] are all from just today; all describe the current conflict as a war. To those sources that call it a three-year-long invasion, we must consider Wikipedia's influence on the matter, which artificially inflates the percentage of sources using such framework. This article calls the conflict a war consistently (e.g.
The direct cost of the war for Russia has been over US$450 billion.
) This distinction between an invasion and a war has historical precedent. German invasion of the Soviet Union redirects to Operation Barbarossa, not to Eastern Front (World War II), even though Germany was still advancing for almost a year after the German invasion of Russia occurred. The main obstacle in moving this article to a page with "war" in it is the existence of the article Russo-Ukrainian War. However, it is hardly community consensus that keeps the page at that title. The article remained at the title Russian military intervention in Ukraine (2014–present) for six years before an RM, opened by a blocked sock and with low participation, found consensus to move in June 2020. Immediately after it was closed, a large number of editors voiced salient concerns about the new title that, had they commented in the discussion, would have resulted in the page not being moved. These includeI suppose this (and even previous) title is wrong. If to refer to Google search, then Russo-Ukrainian conflict has 100x more hits than both.
from Infovarius, followed by agreement below from other editors. Sources almost universally refer to the state of affairs since 2014 as a conflict – even many that describe a three-year invasion. The archives of Talk:Russo-Ukrainian War are full of editors complaining about how the title is wrong, and though the ECR means they have no voice on this topic, the complaint should be heard. We have spent three years ignoring sources and misleading readers. Let's get back on track with our policies. On "Russo-Ukrainian" vs. "Russia–Ukraine", the former is consistent with names entrenched in historical literature (e.g. Franco-Prussian War) while the second is consistent with contemporary names for conflicts (e.g. Iran–Israel war). The absolute common name is "Ukraine war" or "war in Ukraine", but both are ambiguous, and per WP:NATDIS, this still-common name (used in the Al Jazeera header among other news outlets) should prevail, outnumbering "Russo-Ukrainian war" by upwards of an order of magnitude. On "War" vs. "war", the word is not consistently capitalized in sources, per NCCAPS. It is not usually capitalized in sources, per MILTERMS. It is, in fact, very rarely capitalized in sources, as it doesn't yet represent a proper name, but a descriptive name for the conflict. TL;DR: Let's do what Wikipedia does best and choose the common name for these two articles.

- (Discuss) – List of WWE pay-per-view and livestreaming supercards → List of WWE pay-per-views and premium live events – See the above discussion about scope, but other than a few edge cases which are being hammered over above, this list is, and always has been, about what WWE used to call pay-per-views and now calls Premium Live Events (capitalised, presumably it's a trademark but it's not in USPTO). And whilst we've gone with "livestreaming supercards" because we don't want to use corpospeak, there's a point where terms get so genericised that they become common parlance. And so it is with "premium live event"; searching "WWE supercard" on Google News (a relatively decent proxy for RS usage) only brings up press releases for the mobile game, with the exception of a few stories about Lesnar being removed from said mobile game. As a point of comparison, searching "WWE PLE" or "WWE premium live event" brings up coverage of the new Disney deal, AEW counterprogramming, the Lesnar/Cena match, Summerslam, et cetera. I think it's high time to admit that "premium live event" is very clearly the WP:COMMONNAME for WWE's weekend-events-that-used-to-be-called-PPVs, and even if wasn't the common name for the pre-Network shows or even including the pre-Peacock shows, this title would still be permissible under WP:AND. Incidentally, WWE still offer their PLEs through PPV channels, but that's a small side-hustle by now and is by-the-by. Alternative titles that could work but I'm less keen on include: *List of WWE pay-per-views, WWE Network events, and premium live events *List of WWE pay-per-views and major livestreaming events *List of major WWE events Sceptre (talk) 22:58, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Villawood → Villawood, New South Wales – The previous discussion noted that there is an existing disambiguation page for Villawood, however it was determined that the suburb is the WP:PTOPIC. However, this is not reflected in the page view statistics. These indicate the Villawood Immigration Detention Centre (IDC) receives significantly more traffic.[48][49] Furthermore, searches of Trove (since 1990) indicate that the facility has been frequently referred to as just "Villawood" by many National publications for several decades. [50][51][52][53]. Searching the term in Google news also returns many articles that are referring to happenings in the suburb "Villawood", however these are overwhelmingly from Sydney-based media oulets. It also returns many articles about the IDC from national and international sources. Given the above, WP:PT1 would suggest as that name recognition of Villawood is much higher for the detention centre over the suburb to readers outside of Sydney, so the disambiguation page is a more appropriate target and this page should be moved back to Villawood, New South Wales.

- (Discuss) – 2025 Cambodia–Thailand border conflict → 2025 Cambodian–Thai border conflict – Short version: This request concerns "Cambodia–Thailand" versus "Cambodian–Thai". Reasons should be obvious to most.Long version: This is a requested move to undo an erroneous unilateral move and restore specifically the element of the stable version that is the "Cambodian–Thai" component. The mover provided the following incorrect rationale (diff):
According to general English conventions, this part of a title functions as an adjective and should use adjectival forms, as in Kenyan–Ugandan border conflict (not "Kenya–Uganda border conflict"), Eritrean–Ethiopian border conflict (not "Eritrea–Ethiopia border conflict"), Djiboutian–Eritrean border conflict (not "Djibouti–Eritrea border conflict"), etc. This is a question of grammar, of language conventions in phrases in the "[x–y] [some kind of conflict]" mold, and of consistency as one of the five Wikipedia naming policy principles.The reason why it is "Iran–Israel war" and not "Iranian–Israeli war" is that we say (and have been saying for decades) "Iran–Iraq War" (has a nice syllabic symmetry to it) and not "Iranian–Iraqi War" ("Iranian" and "Iraqi" don't have this symmetry, and people in the 80s were not sure if they should say "Iraqi" or "wikt:Iraqian"; indeed, you will find "Iranian–Iraqian War" in contemporary sources). Unlike the descriptive title of the article being discussed, "Iran–Iraq War" is a proper name, influenced probably by traditional headlinese, which always favors shorter forms, often disregarding grammar. This has locked in "Iran–" in any such phrase. In this context, "Iran–[country]" has become a noun phrase template—with respect to Iran...But not with respect to Israel. You see, it isn't "Israel–Palestine conflict"; it is "Israeli–Palestinian conflict". That's because it doesn't have "Iran–". And when Iran a.k.a. Persia was Persia, it was involved in wars such as the Ottoman–Persian Wars, the Anglo-Persian War, the Russo-Persian Wars, etc. Equally for conflicts involving Cambodia and Thailand: It is not "2008–2013 Cambodia–Thailand border crisis"; it is "2008–2013 Cambodian–Thai border crisis".Undoing a unilateral move normally does not require a move request, but technical help was declined at the corresponding process page because the mover or movers did not recognize that the "Cambodian-Thai" -> "Cambodia-Thailand" aspect of contested unilateral move is a distinct issue that can be addressed separately; that is to say, separately from any other issue related to yesterday's and the day's before multiple endeavors to improve the title as the situation developed. And so, as it was suggested to editors to deal with this banal problem using the RM process, an RM has been started. —Alalch E. 17:50, 26 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Season 2, Episode 10 (30 Rock) → Episode 210 – The article existed at this title until it was unilaterally moved to 30 Rock episode 210 by Srleffler (diff) for being "too generic". It was later moved to Season 2, Episode 10 (30 Rock) by Alex 21 (diff) so it wouldn't accidentally be considered the 210th episode (see this discussion), but I find this both clunky and unnecessary. While this episode has no official title from the show's writers, it is consistently called "Episode 210" (in the same way a certain untitled album is called Led Zeppelin IV, as an example). See IMDb, NBC, Peacock, IGN, The A.V. Club (twice), the 30 Rock YouTube channel... while it's a generic title format, this specific generic format is the only one used for this episode, and it's used in quotes like a regular episode title (unless websites don't use quotes for style reasons). To avoid a move war, I'm opening this discussion, but since the long-standing title was "Episode 210", I feel the episode should be moved back if the discussion finds no consensus. If disambiguation is needed, Episode 210 (30 Rock) is a better alternative. RunningTiger123 (talk) 00:15, 12 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPathtalk 06:03, 22 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting.
