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:

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

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:

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.

Requesting technical moves

Shortcuts

Welcome to Requested moves/Technical requests

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request a technical move 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 "This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

If you are here because you want an experienced editor to approve of your new article or proposed rename, you are in the wrong place.

To list a technical request: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection or click the big blue button and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:

{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}

This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Do not edit the article's talk page, just click the button below.

Request uncontroversial move

To request a reversion of a recent undiscussed move: Review the guidelines at WP:RMUM of whether a reversion of an undiscussed move qualifies as uncontroversial and if so, edit the Requests to revert undiscussed moves subsection or click the big blue button and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:

{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}

Request undiscussed-move reversion

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.

  • 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.
Administration needed

If your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators).

Uncontroversial technical requests


  • Comment Avinguda Tibidabo seems to be unambiguous. I have moved the page there. Thanks! —1isall (talk | contribs) 19:43, 12 November 2026 (UTC)
    @1isall Except the issue with omitting "station" in this case is that avinguda means avenue in Catalan. So, the new article title in English is "Tibidabo Avenue", which is not the correct topic. AlphaBeta135 talk 01:23, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
    Is there a relevant naming convention? Thanks! —1isall (talk | contribs) 01:40, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
    @1isall MOS:PRECISION. In this case, a layperson may expect the "Avinguda Tibidabo" article to be about the avenue (similar to Avinguda del Paral·lel but erroneously without the possessive word "del" [of the]) and not the station. AlphaBeta135 talk 02:59, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
    I don't quite understand that. Can someone else weigh in here? Thanks! —1isall (talk | contribs) 03:27, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
    "Avinguda Tibidabo" in Catalan translates to "Tibidabo Avenue", so the title could be confused as being one about the avenue, rather than the station. The question is whether the common name in English sources (if anybody can find any) would possibly be the name without "station"? The only sources on the page are in Catalan also, so tacking English on the end of a non-English title also seems odd to me, but maybe it's an acceptable compromise? I'm not entirely sure.

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Unless the stadium is known in English-language sources as "Estadio Nacionial", the new title is correct. See WP:UE. 162 etc. (talk) 21:45, 13 November 2026 (UTC)

Contested technical requests

It might be relevant that that the 2026 typhoon does not yet have its own article, and it is currently described in one paragraph at 2026 Pacific typhoon season. Perhaps if/when this storm becomes notable enough for its own article in the near future, this request might be more appropriate at that time. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:49, 11 November 2026 (UTC)
@Nibnab43637 I agree, that paragraph is also still lacking citations, so it would be more helpful when we have more/better coverage ASUKITE 23:26, 11 November 2026 (UTC)
"Name correction" isn't a complete rationale, perhaps you could be more specific? ASUKITE 04:19, 14 November 2026 (UTC)

Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves

Shortcuts

The discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. A move is potentially controversial if either of the following applies:

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

"WP:RSPM" redirects here. For entries on the perennial sources list that start with "M", see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources/5.
Shortcut

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. 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 [today's date]" and sign the post for you.

The reasons for the move can be summarized 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.

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:

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

Shortcut

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.
}}
See also: Template:Requested move/extended blank

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
  • |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
  • |currentN=Current title of page N
  • |newN=New title for page N|}}
...where N represents more pages to be moved. Place a pipe ( | ) at the end just before the final set of braces ( |}} )

Request all associated moves explicitly

Shortcut

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.

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 participating, please consider the following:

    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 by assessing consensus after the requested move discussion has been open for at least seven days (168 hours). Please familiarize yourself with the quick guide to closing requested move discussions before performing any close. Some best practices for closing are outlined at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions.

    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. 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

    1. ↑ 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.
    2. ↑ Despite this, discussions are occasionally relisted more than once.

    • (Discuss) – Battle of Sincouwaan → Battle of Xicaowan – Please see the Location section of the present article. Historical sources consistently call the place of the battle "Xicaowan" 西草灣, but later researchers working with limited sources came up with alternative suggestions. One such suggestion was by a Hong Kong scholar in the 80s who believed Xicaowan should be the similarly named 茜草灣 in Hong Kong (which would make its English name Sai Tso Wan), but since 茜 is more commonly pronounced "Sin" in Cantonese, a well-meaning Wikipedian Ktsquare (talk · contribs) looked up a Cantonese dictionary and moved the page to its current name in 2022. This is unfortunately OR as Sincouwaan is a uncommon romanization of 茜草灣 not found in RSes before 2022. In any case, recent research support the original Xicaowan reading, and I do not believe Wikipedia should back the POV that the battle must have happened in Hong Kong waters to justify the Cantonese reading. _dk (talk) 04:25, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – Halizah → Chalitzah – The Hebrew character צ (tsade) is not transliterated as a ⟨z⟩ elsewhere in Wikipedia, where that letter is instead relegated for ז (zayin). I am not a native speaker of Hebrew, but given transliterations such as mechitza, mitzvah, and tzadik, as well as spellings like chazal and challah, I think it would be more consistent with Wikipedia's existing conventions to rename the article. The treatment of het and kamatz malei (?) may be up for debate, but the transliteration of tsade is my primary concern. WannzKaswan (talk) 02:45, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – S.S. Lazio Calcio Gaelico → Rome Hibernia GAA – The club officially separated from S.S. Lazio and rebranded to Rome Hibernia GAA in 2024. The article lead and body have already been updated with reliable third-party citations (including Gaelic Games Europe and Vatican News), and the corresponding Wikidata item (Q22080541) now uses the updated name. Munchies98 (talk) 00:42, 14 November 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – Paparazzi (Lady Gaga song) → Paparazzi (song) – This will be a controversial move because I feel like this song is the primary topic for any song named Paparazzi. While the Girls Generation and Xzibit songs did receive chart success to some degree, it pales in comparison to Gaga's song. Also, on the main paparazzi page, it says "For the song by Lady Gaga, see Paparazzi (Lady Gaga song)," somewhat implying that Gaga's song is the primary topic for any song named Paparazzi Harbordelsol (talk) 00:27, 14 November 2026 (UTC)

    November 13, 2026

    • (Discuss) – Labor Day (United States) → Labor Day – The last move request was badly flawed and had few participants. Labor Day is used almost exclusively by the United States and needs no disambiguation such as (United States). The other similar term "Labour Day" is not the same holiday. It has a different history, a different date, and a different spelling. Plus the article's wikiprojects of Holidays, United States, and Organized Labour, were not informed, so the move was the result of a small group of editors. The original closing editor did the best they could with the small the group, but failed when the primary topic of the United States federal holiday, Labor Day, was left in the dust. We asked to reopen but the closer refused. Then, to top it all off, when they moved Labor Day to Labor Day (United States) with a redirect, they then arbitrarily (there was no consensus) changed the redirect of Labor Day to Labour Day. There is now no good way to find Labor Day (United States) without jumping through hoops! This move need to be reverted from Labor Day (United States) > Labor Day. Labor Day and Labour Day are NOT the same holiday. And if for any reason it fails then "Labor Day" redirect must redirect to Labor Day (United States).

    • (Discuss) – B (SEPTA Metro) → Broad Street Line – Revert undiscussed move, as COMMON and NATURAL. Old title remains in both official and common use -- a few examples. Old title is also a good WP:NATURALDAB. Broad Street Line is less consistent with the other pages under the SEPTA "Metro" branding, however, the titles with the (SEPTA Metro) disambiguator are also the result of undiscussed moves by user:Cards84664 (per a spot check) that correspond with official name changes involved with the "Metro" rebranding effort. —BrechtBro (talk) 19:33, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – The Anime Man → Joey Bizinger – I'll preface this by saying I'm not overwhelmingly familiar with Bizinger's videos, but from what I've seen, I would interpret The Anime Man more as a name purely for his main channel, with him generally only introducing himself as Joey- at most saying The Anime Man on YouTube afterwards. But the page is distinctly about Bizinger separately from his channel, with his music career under "Ikurru Kamijou" and his few acting credits as Joey Bizinger mentioned and having substantial coverage within the page. I think it makes sense to define the page just under his name. Kyethepie21 (talk) 08:50, 6 November 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. Valorrr (lets chat) 15:44, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – Arya Group Of Colleges → Arya College – Until May 2025 this article was titled "Arya College" and used that name throughout. On 22–23 May 2025 it was moved without discussion, and the same edits replaced "Arya College" with "Arya Main Campus" about 25 times, including inside the titles of cited sources, which no longer match what those sources published (listed in the section below). Several of the cited sources call the institution "Arya College" (OrissaPOST, BW Businessworld, ANI), no other English Wikipedia article uses this title, and Arya College already redirects here. Absp42 (talk) 14:36, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – Gaza peace plan → October 2025 Gaza war ceasefire agreement – "Peace plan" can be seen as assuming an intent for peace, which in this case violates WP:NPOV (UN bodies and others have stated genocidal intent has remained) and is inconsistent with the titles for past agreements (2023 Gaza war ceasefire, January 2025 Gaza war ceasefire. Reliable sources generally refer to this as a ceasefire or a ceasefire agreement. "Agreement" is necessary in this case because the existence of a de facto ceasefire is heavily disputed if not demonstrably false. The existence of the agreement itself is not under dispute, and the agreement (and surrounding negotiations) is the current focus of the article anyway.

    • (Discuss) – Sheheryar Munawar Siddiqui → Sheheryar Munawar – I propose moving this article from Sheheryar Munawar Siddiqui to Sheheryar Munawar per WP:COMMONNAME, WP:CONCISE, and WP:AT. The proposed title appears to be the subject's commonly used professional name in reliable English-language coverage. For example, Dawn published an extensive interview with him on 10 May 2026 under the name "Sheheryar Munawar" (source). Dawn Images also used the shorter name in its 18 July 2026 coverage of his television project Dar-e-Nijaat (source). The article's existing infobox also identifies him as "Sheheryar Munawar", although this is supplementary context rather than independent evidence. The full name "Sheheryar Munawar Siddiqui" can remain in the article where reliably sourced, but the shorter title appears more consistent with his common identification in contemporary coverage. I welcome further evidence from reliable sources, particularly regarding his on-screen professional credits. BlazerStar10 (talk) 09:09, 13 November 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – Disulfide (biochemistry) → Disulfide bridge – Background: this page got split off from disulfide, and now has a visibility problem. "Disulfide bond" and "disulfide bridge" seem to be the common wording in biology, and both seem ok. "Disulfide bond" seems slightly more common, but it appears to sometimes be used to refer to the non-biology chemistry bonds. On the other hand, if I do a google scholar search for "Disulfide bridge" protein I get exactly the same number of hits as if I search for just "Disulfide bridge", so I don't think it's used outside of a biology context. It would be nice to hear what others think though Edit* Related context, it looks like a lot of the content from this page originates from disulfide bond, which got merged into disulfide in 2015.

    • (Discuss) – Peanut Punch (football) → Peanut punch (gridiron football) – Sources seem pretty mixed on full capitalization vs. lowercasing "punch", but I just don't see how "punch" is a proper noun. Additionally, "gridiron" is needed to distinguish this from football (soccer). (Update: I am withdrawing my request to add "gridiron" as a disambiguator, but still am seeking for "Punch" to be lowercased.)

    • (Discuss) – LW2 (classification) → LW2 – LW2 currently redirects to Lethal Weapon 2. The abbreviation is not mentioned once in the entire article. It's mentioned in some reviews: , but it's not prevalent enough to be the primary use for the term over an article that is actually named "LW2". Adding a hatnote to Lethal Weapon 2 is sufficient.

    • (Discuss) – Via Rail → VIA Rail – I propose changing the article title from "Via Rail" to "VIA Rail". The corporation's official name is VIA Rail Canada Inc., and the Government of Canada consistently uses "VIA Rail" in its official documents. Independent Canadian news organizations also use "VIA Rail". The previous discussion cited one CBC article as evidence for "Via Rail", but this does not establish that a substantial majority of reliable sources prefer that capitalization. I believe the established official spelling deserves reconsideration under MOS:TM. Reid6418 (talk) 23:53, 12 November 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – Versailles (disambiguation) → Versailles – The city of Versailles, Yvelines is an internationally renowned historical place, with a particularly important role in French history as the former seat of the French monarchy and the site of several pivotal events. The palace, on the other hand, is properly known as the Palace of Versailles, rather than simply Versailles. The palace is more famous, but it is not uniquely known as "Versailles." Unlike the palace, the city is consistently and unambiguously identified by the name "Versailles" itself. Given the city's considerable historical significance and the importance of the other subjects bearing this name, there is no clear primary topic, making a disambiguation page at Versailles more appropriate. ~2026-59940-31 (talk) 22:34, 12 November 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – Passion (emotion) → Passion – The emotional meaning of "passion" has a strong claim to the unqualified title, both in terms of common usage and long-term significance. It is a fundamental human experience with enduring cultural, historical and psychological relevance, whereas the other uses of the term are largely specific works or unrelated subjects. The disambiguation page itself also identifies the emotional meaning as the most common one. I believe this makes Passion (emotion) the appropriate primary topic under WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. ~2026-59948-34 (talk) 19:19, 12 November 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – Mood (psychology) → Mood – The psychological meaning of "mood" has substantial relevance across psychology, medicine and everyday language, and arguably has a stronger claim to the unqualified title than the grammatical and musical meanings, which are more specialised contexts. I believe the psychological sense merits consideration as the primary topic under WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, based on both its widespread usage and its enduring significance. ~2026-59948-34 (talk) 19:17, 12 November 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – Arthropod mouthparts → Mouthpart – From what I can see, dictionaries seem to agree that "mouthpart(s)" is a term overwhelmingly associated with arthropods in contemporary English usage (often, but not always, insects). Also, the title should be in the singular form. There's a DAB page at Mouthparts that was tagged as a potential broad-concept article, but again, this nomenclature is already strongly associated with arthropods. I think a hatnote to Mouth to cover the rare instances of non-arthropod usage is sufficient. — An anonymous username, not my real name 18:56, 12 November 2026 (UTC)

    • (Discuss) – Bahram → Bahram (disambiguation) – I propose moving Verethragna to Bahram, with the existing disambiguation page moved to Bahram (disambiguation). Bahram is the established Persian name of the Zoroastrian divinity of victory, while Verethragna is its older Avestan form. The name Bahram is also used in academic scholarship, notably in Encyclopaedia Iranica, which titles its treatment "Bahrām (Vərəθraγna)". I believe the divinity qualifies as the primary topic under WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The divinity is the historical source of the Persian personal name Bahram, and the name has remained culturally significant through its religious, astronomical, and personal uses. The divinity also has the highest individual English Wikipedia pageview total among the principal competing topics of the same name. The existing disambiguation page can be preserved at Bahram (disambiguation), while Verethragna would remain a redirect to Bahram.

    • (Discuss) – Nuseirat rescue and massacre → Nuseirat hostage raid – Per WP:NCENPOV. Very few reliable sources have described this in their own voice as a massacre, whereas I think all sources (including those which also use massacre) have described it variously as a raid or an operation (see previous talk page section). I do not think there is a single WP:COMMONNAME for this event, but per the instructions at NCENPOV of what to do in the absence of a common name, we should use a generally accepted term. In the absence of a generally accepted term we should use a descriptive term without POV implications. The current title does not comply with this.

    • (Discuss) – Rule of three (C++ programming) → Rule of five (C++) – "Rule of three" was the relevant name prior to C++11, but since C++11 with the introduction of move constructors/assignment operators, "rule of five" is a much more relevant name given that it is now 2026 and move semantics have existed since 2011. Additionally, qualifying with "programming" at the end is unnecessary; see Concepts (C++), Allocator (C++), Modules (C++), Reflection (C++), Reference (C++), all of which use just "(C++)" and not "(C++ programming)". "Rule of five (C++ programming)" is currently a redirect to this page; I suggest swapping the two so that "Rule of three (C++ programming)" and "Rule of three (C++)" point to this page, and "Rule of five (C++ programming)" also this page, while this page itself is renamed to "Rule of five (C++)". ~2026-60000-22 (talk) 18:22, 11 November 2026 (UTC)

    • (Discuss) – Wooden Boy Island → Dalain Modon Khüis – There is only one source cited in this article for the name "Wooden Boy Island": Google Maps on 2019-05-24. When accessed on 2026-11-11, Google Maps shows the name of the island in English as "Dalain Modon Khuis Island". This is a transliteration of the Mongolian name for the island, which translates to "forest navel in the sea," which leads me to believe that "Wooden Boy Island" was a mistranslation which later came to be treated as fact due to its presence on Google Maps and Wikipedia. This is further corroborated by the complete lack of searches for "Wooden Boy Island" prior to 2022, 3 years after this article was created. However, there are insufficient English-language sources on the island at all, so the native name should be used as per WP:TRANSLITERATE. The native name in Mongolian is "Далайн Модон Хүйс Арал" (with 'Арал' meaning island). As per standard Mongolian Cyrillic transliteration, the island's native name is transliterated as "Dalain Modon Khüis". FactCheck105 (talk) 04:18, 11 November 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – Bally Astrocade → Astrocade – This article name has been bugging me for quite a while now. Mostly the console was never called the "Bally Astrocade" at any point in its lifespan. Not in the, "it's technically not the Sony PlayStation" kind of way, in the "Bally had nothing to do with it by the time it started being called the Astrocade" kind of way. The name history is explained currently in the article but the short version is Bally called it the "Bally Professional Arcade", they sold it to a company called Astrovision who called it the "Astrovision Professional Arcade" and then that company renamed itself to Astrocade as seen in this catalog. By that point, the console was shortened to just Astrocade by basically everyone. (see the contemporary sources in the suggested refs) There are sources later that start calling it the "Bally Astrocade". These are mostly posthumous sources without a ton of actual background and almost nothing of substance to say. Anyone who's put a ton of actual research into the system usually just calls it by its original name. (Retrogamer #244, Atari Archive) In my opinion, Astrocade would be the best name in accordance with WP:NAMECHANGES. Currently, there is no conflict with using the Astrocade name, which is just a redirect here. It looks like there's a very recent AI company that uses the name Astrocade that might be notable enough for its own article, but it doesn't have one currently and I'm not gonna hold my breath. There is also precedent for removing the manufacturers name in cases like Master System or Dreamcast. It would also support Bally Professional Arcade in accordance with contemporary sources if its not worth conflict with an as of yet nonexistent article. But I think the current name, which is just the two manufacturer's names mashed together, only sows confusion. Whipmywillows (talk) 02:25, 11 November 2026 (UTC)

    • (Discuss) – SA de Transport Aérien → SATA (Swiss airline) – As per WP:COMMONNAME, this airline was mostly known simply as SATA. In its first two years its Convair CV-640s displayed "S.A. de Transport Aerien" accompanied by a small "SATA", but this changed in later years so that the remaining Convairs, and the Caravelles featured SATA most prominently, with "S.A. de Transport Aerien Geneve" in a smaller font. Meanwhile the later DC-8s simply displayed "SATA" and nothing else!
      But primarily it is because the majority of aviation publications specified "SATA"; for example Flight International, JP Airline Fleets, World Airline Fleets by Günter Endres, Civil Aircraft Markings by J.W.R.Taylor (note Taylor uses SATA, SAS & KLM, but writes Trans World & Japan Airlines in full) The only reason I do not propose SATA (without qualification) is because SATA currently links to Serial ATA disk drives, presumably as a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC WendlingCrusader (talk) 19:45, 10 November 2026 (UTC)

    • (Discuss) – Vesta (mythology) → Vesta (goddess) – The "mythology" dab is unsuited to this article because Vesta notably has no surviving mythology of her own. If anything, that makes this dab misleading. But a previous motion to remove the dab entirely concluded that some sort of disambiguator is supposed to be kept on the article (see above). Vesta received only minimal mentions in a handful of myths, which do not supply enough content to write an article on. Vesta's notability instead lies in her status as a goddess, around which major Roman observances and institutions were organized. Disambiguating this page with "goddess" would therefore be preferable. For precedence of the "goddess" dab's usage, see the article titles of other Roman goddesses that lack mythology, such as Bellona (goddess) and Luna (goddess). For precedence of moving an article from the "mythology" dab to "god," see the discussion at Jupiter (god). — Uiscefada (talk) 22:39, 9 November 2026 (UTC)

The responsibilities of those in the role of an elder, like providing counsel and conserving communal knowledge, aren't well characterised as "administrative".
      Role defines "role" as "a set of connected behaviors, rights, obligations, beliefs, and norms as conceptualized by people in a social situation" which sounds exactly like what an "elder" is as described in this article. Behaviours like counselling and demonstrating leadership, rights associated with authority, obligations such as preserving communal knowledge, beliefs associated with morals, values, and wisdom, and norms like being the eldest. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 17:30, 9 November 2026 (UTC)

      The common name for this topic in English is in-fact Vampire, but the proposed merge went stale so that isn't happening.

    • (Discuss) – *Manu and *Yemo → Indo-European twin myth – *Mónus and *YémHos – as cited in the header of the article, these are the correct reconstructions. The reconstructed names are too dubious and should not be promoted. Regarding the spelling alone: # The notation is inconsistent with the convention on other articles such as *Dyēus, *H₂éwsōs, *H₁n̥gʷnis and *H₂epom Nepōts where the citation form is the nominative singular (which in all these cases happens to be marked by the ending *-s). The appearance of the s-less forms "Manu" and "Yemo" in some cited sources (of highly questionable reliability with regard to modern linguistics) is by no means a standard practice. It seems to come from back-projection of Sanskrit where the mainstream citation format is the vocative singular (thus dictionary headwords will typically be Manu, Yama rather than nom.sg. Manuḥ, Yamaḥ), but applying this convention to PIE reconstructions is highly uncommon in more modern sources, and practically nonexistent in academic sources in general that focus on linguistics more than mythology. Furthermore, not only is it inconsistent as mentioned above with Wikipedia's own de facto convention, but also with the sister project Wiktionary's de jure convention, potentially a source of confusion when these mismatch. It also sometimes arises from non-experts' confusion about the stem forms with hyphens, such as *Manu- and Yemo-, which is what I originally assumed was the source of these forms (compare the related move request for *Trito). Regardless of the intention behind them, which is not made clear anywhere, to anyone even somewhat versed in IE linguistics it ends up making these articles look instantly amateurishly bad. # The reconstructions are inaccurate in and of themselves. *Manus is problematic due to the *a, a reconstructed phoneme which is widely considered obsolete (see Proto-Indo-European phonology; the PIE vowel system was a (surface) four-vowel system */e o i u/, of which only *e and *o were actually phonemes (roughly [æ ~ ɛ ~ ə] and [ɑ ~ ɔ] respectively)). All securely reconstructible cases of *a have been replaced with either *o (with an understanding of unrounding in Italo-Celtic) or a laryngeal, usually *h₂, and in a few cases with *∅ (nonphonemic [ə] sometimes independently arising in daughter languages from consonant clusters in zero-grade). The unexplainable cases are largely onomatopoeias and loanwords which are no longer considered of PIE age, e.g. *gʰabʰ-, *kaput-, *bayt-, *kapro- (cf. Lubotsky (1989), Pronk (2019), and basically anything published from Leiden in the past decade). Also, the paroxytone accent is missing. Hence *Manu- is updated to *Mónu-. Edit: the more alternative *Mónus mentioned in the lead section cannot be correct either as the Sanskrit root vowel is short. *Yemo- is somewhat less problematic, but its validity is dubious because the analogical change *j- > *r- in Latin Remus is speculative; also, the presumed root meaning “twin; to join” is more often reconstructed nowadays with a laryngeal, *yemH-, thus the noun if it existed is perhaps *yemHós. # The reconstructions are not well supported by attested Indo-European languages. The article itself admits this. Especially the evidence for a character named *Yem(H)o- is poor, and the name is only found in Indo-Iranian and supposedly but problematically Latin (disputedly also Greek Iamos according to one linguist, but this is another formal mismatch and must be presumed borrowed from an extinct IE language if so). Side notes: It must be mentioned that there are numerous other problems with the PIE forms of the various related articles and they're unfortunately not consistent on any measure. For example, only aforementioned *H₂éwsōs includes an acute accent in the title whereas ideally any PIE word (especially with more than one syllable) should include one such accent; compare *Dyēus which, similar to *Manu and *Yemo, correctly writes *Dyḗus twice in the header but then omits the accent elsewhere in the article and from the title. To include some diacritics but not others (i.e. only including the macrons indicating vowel length but leaving out accent marks) is is a strange and arbitrary convention for us to have. (Other aspects of the orthography are inconsistent on Wikipedia too, as indicated by *Dyēus and *H₂éwsōs where the same diphthong */ew/ is written variably as ⟨eu⟩ or ⟨ew⟩.) The question of whether to include accents here is further complicated by uncertainty in where the accents would go in these words. A more glaring problem is that *Manu- and *Yemo- are hardly even reconstructed anymore by any respected linguist; they're highly speculative reconstructions like many of the traditional names for PIE deities (others are debunked more thoroughly, such as *Perkʷūnos, which was thankfully moved to Proto-Indo-European thunder god earlier this year, and *Werunos), and so attempts to keep them alive are somewhat fringe in IE studies. The traditional reconstructions often persist in sources on Indo-European mythology for the sake of, basically, tradition alone. Any concern that might occur in printed works about navigational backwards-compatibility (so to speak) is however solved in our digital medium by redirects. An older, outdated name should point to a newer, more accurate name for the same thing, for the same reason that we rename articles on biological species or taxa when those are formally renamed. At this point the main argument for keeping these spellings is that they've been practically borrowed into English by now as "Manu" and "Yemo", but in that case they should be de-italicized, de-asterisked and given a clear justification. — ~2026-58684-49 (talk) 05:26, 9 November 2026 (UTC)

Short of any clear indicator that this radio station is the primary topic, or what the primary topic for "KPAM" might be, per guidelines on disambiguations, I'm proposing the simple title "KPAM" be used for the disambiguation page and the radio station's title disambiguated with its AM frequency.

While per MOS:INSTITUTIONS, the "t" must be lowercase unless if it's inseparable, such as if I said "Arundel Mills was developed by the Mills Corporation", that is still not "Arundel Mills was developed by Mills Corporation". Just because "the" might not be inseparable does not automatically mean the article name must drop the word entirely; compare this to The Rouse Company. Making "t" lowercase also does not ruin the sentence (eg. Harborplace was developed by the Rouse Company), but that article is still named The Rouse Company.

    • (Discuss) – Santiaogou Republic → Samtiaokioe Kongsi – Both elements of the current title Santiaogou Republic conflict with primary historical sources and modern English-language academic historiography ({{Section link}}: required section parameter(s) missing, {{Section link}}: required section parameter(s) missing, {{Section link}}: required section parameter(s) missing). (1) Samtiaokioe (historical Hakka / West Borneo local romanization) vs. Santiaogou (anachronistic Mandarin Pinyin): The members of this 18th–19th century West Borneo gold-mining federation were Pan-San-Hok (Hakka) migrants from Lufeng and Huilai in eastern Guangdong (Schaank 1893, pp. 515–517, 524–525). In the standard English-language academic monograph on the Chinese of West Kalimantan—Mary Somers Heidhues (2003), Golddiggers, Farmers, and Traders in the "Chinese Districts" of West Kalimantan, Indonesia (Cornell University Southeast Asia Program Publications, pp. 55–57, 63, 66, 89–93, 96, 308)—the polity is consistently named and indexed as Samtiaokioe Kongsi (or Samtiaokioe). As Heidhues (2003, pp. 14–15) explicitly notes regarding romanization: "Mandarin Chinese was not understood by most Chinese in West Kalimantan before the twentieth century and to Mandarinize their names from an earlier era is to insert them into a national Chinese sphere to which they did not belong. Using local spellings puts these people in local history." This follows the 19th-century Dutch/Hakka primary sources, which record the name as Sam-thiao-keoe or Sam-thiao-kioe (Schaank 1893, pp. 520, 524–525, 535–546), Sam-tiou-kiou (Veth 1854–1856; Kielstra 1889–1893), and Sam-thiao-keou (Millies 1871), as well as 19th- and 20th-century English-language Sarawak historiography, which transcribes the local pronunciation as Santiaukiu (McDougall 1854, p. 117; St. John 1862, Vol. II, p. 325; Runciman 1960, p. 126), San Tiau Kiu (C. Brooke 1866, Vol. I, p. 213; Baring-Gould & Bampfylde 1909, p. 189; Lockard 1978, p. 93), San-ti-okew / San Ti Qu (J. Brooke 1839/1842, in Keppel 1846 I, p. 33; Mundy 1848 I, pp. 290, 294), or Sam Tiow Kew (Ward 1954). Only Yuan Bingling (2000) converted the name into modern Mandarin Hanyu Pinyin (Santiaogou), and even Yuan never used the title "Santiaogou Republic". (2) Kongsi vs. Republic: The native Chinese name on all contemporary seals, coins, and documents is 三條溝公司 (Sam-thiao-keoe Kong-si, later renamed 三達副廳 Sam-that Foe-thang / 三達總廳 Sam-that Tsoeng-thang and 和現正廳 Fo-hien Tshin-thang, and in Sarawak 十二公司 Sjip-nji Kong-si). Neither Heidhues (2003), nor Yuan (2000), nor Wang Tai Peng (1994), nor Lockard (1978), nor Chew (1990) calls this specific organization "Santiaogou Republic"—all academic sources refer to it as a kongsi (specifically Samtiaokioe Kongsi in Heidhues 2003, p. 308). Moving the page to Samtiaokioe Kongsi aligns the article title with mainstream English-language scholarship while preserving historical accuracy. Jtbhats (talk) 01:01, 8 November 2026 (UTC)

    • (Discuss) – *Trito → *Tritós – "*Trito" is an incomplete reconstruction representing a stem *tri-to- (“third”) but missing the final hyphen (or it can be interpreted as a vocative ad hoc) and accent mark (*tritó-), meanwhile other related articles correctly use the nominative singular rather than just a stem and include the correct diacritics (e.g. *H₂éwsōs), thanks to moves over the years. "Trito" is neither a valid noun reconstruction nor an English word based on the PIE name; note that the editor who writes many of these (always somewhat questionable) articles on Indo-European mythology has a tendency to coin English borrowings from PIE words and fill articles with them despite most cited sources not doing so, as well as a tendency to misunderstand basic IE linguistics. I have already replaced the misuse of Trito throughout the body of the article accordingly.
      Unfortunately, there are uncertainties both with the reconstruction of the ordinal *tritós on its own (see the Wiktionary entry) as well as with the supposed identity of the mythological figure, who doesn't actually have a distinct name other than being called "third one" as an epithet (and even calling it that is generous, since it's a number rather than a qualitative descriptor). The identification of the Sanskrit god name/epithet with the word for "third" (as in Old Norse) is also unclear, as tritá- doesn't occur elsewhere with a clear meaning of "third" in Sanskrit from what I can tell (the main word was तृ॒तीय॑). So, as a second option I suggest the title Third (Indo-European mythology) (or maybe "Third One") since that's literally all the "names" in question mean. ~2026-58684-49 (talk) 19:01, 7 November 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – NAME (Chinese girl group) → NAME (girl group) – or NAME (group), to remove unnecessary extra disambiguation. BTW, I'm not sure this group is notable, so I currently have no objection to a PROD or deletion discussion. It looks like the article was moved to draft space for a while and was then moved back to article space by its creator, who then stopped editing just a couple of days later, and never seems to have provided edit summaries and tended to mark all of their edits as minor. It also looks like the creator was a student editing Wikipedia for school credit under the supervision of a professor. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 06:36, 7 November 2026 (UTC)

    • (Discuss) – XiaoFeng Wang (computer scientist) → XiaoFeng WangXiaoFeng Wang – This computer scientist is highly notable. Even before the big controversy erupted about him in March 2025, he would have met WP:NPROF, having written influential publications and having attained Fellow status in several major professional societies. After the controversy arose, of course, the readership interest in him has completely dwarfed that of the similarly named retired CCP politician, whose article attracts less than one page view per day (pageviews are here for several name variations, although only two of them are currently populated by articles). The computer scientist is known in English using Western name order, while the politician's name is less likely to be rendered that way. The computer scientist also uses an unusual capitalization in the middle of his given name. In sum, I believe the computer scientist is a clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "XiaoFeng Wang" and that this is his WP:COMMONNAME. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 03:42, 7 November 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – Enrique Hernández (baseball) → Kiké HernandezKiké Hernandez – WP:COMMONNAME, per sources such as this. Support in the first RM was kneecapped by spurious and unsubstantiated arguments that his name might be misconstrued for a slur and nitpicking over Spanish orthography (never mind that the letter K does not occur naturally in Spanish to begin with). I could not find any reason to believe that spelling his name "Kiké" would be misconstrued for a slur, especially when most sources already call him Kiké and not Enrique. The second RM was unrelated to the Kiké/Enrique split and merely wanted the (baseball) disambiguator removed, which failed to achieve consensus. Every source I found calls him "Kiké" with the accent mark over the E, and even outside of Spanish, the é is understood be an accent mark indicating emphasis in words such as "Pokémon" or "résumé". Nearly every source I could find about him online calls him "Kiké", so why isn't his article already there? This is a clear-cut WP:COMMONNAME to me.

    • (Discuss) – List of white power bands → List of white power music acts – There are several solo artists in this list, including Johnny Rebel and Frank Rennicke, so I'm not sure the word "bands" fully/accurately encompasses everything included on this list (unless I'm misunderstanding and, for the purpose of article-naming, the word "bands" can include solo artists as well). Another naming idea might be something like List of white power music artists (although I also feel the word "artist" doesn't really capture both bands and solo artists as well as "music acts" does). Per Wikipedia's naming conventions for bands, albums, and songs, "band" is specifically referred to as a music ensemble, as is "group". Words for individuals are "singer", "musician", "rapper", "songwriter", etc., but a band seems to explicitly be an ensemble that, at some point, consisted of more than 1 person. Couldn't find much else about naming conventions for musical list articles like these, so I'm curious to know others' thoughts on this (or to be corrected if I'm totally wrong).

    • (Discuss) – Prince Ōtomo → Emperor KōbunEmperor Kōbun – I don't understand why Wikipedia is the only Wikipedia with the name "Prince Ōtomo" as the article title for this specific page. No other Wikipedia does this, to my knowledge, and for good reason: It's not his most common name. Since about 1870 he has been recognised as Emperor Kōbun and is listed as an emperor. This isn't an Empress Jingū or Princess Iitoyo situation. Kōbun is his correct, official name and he is recognised as such.

    • (Discuss) – Board of Marshals → Wonsubu – The current title, "Board of Marshals", is inaccurate and ambiguous, and it is not the name used for this institution in reliable sources written in English. I propose moving the article to Wonsubu, the romanized name used in English-language scholarship, keeping "Board of Marshals" as a redirect, and giving "Supreme Military Council" in the lead as the most common English gloss. Detailed evidence is provided below. Kaito Akabane (talk) 15:29, 27 October 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 16:09, 3 November 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – Module:Wd → Module:Fetch Wikidata – Per WP:TPN, Template names should be made of one or more words, and describe the template clearly [... and] follow standard English spelling, spacing, and capitalization.

    • (Discuss) – Miles (disambiguation) → MilesMiles – The WP:PLURALPT argument for the current layout is fairly obvious, because mile is a common term with a primary topic. Nevertheless, Mediawiki doesn't let us distinguish uppercase Miles from lowercase miles. The lowercase miles is what qualifies for the plural primary topic, but the uppercase does not, as it is ambiguous with a common human names, Miles (given name) and Miles (surname), for which we have hundreds of biographies with a lot of usage and significance, so it stands to reason we'd want to help people reach those. --Joy (talk) 12:01, 14 October 2026 (UTC)— Relisting. Dekimasuよ! 05:31, 26 October 2026 (UTC)
    • (Discuss) – The Thing (character) → Thing (monster) – First, (character) is ambiguous as there are already two other articles about characters named "Thing" (Thing (Marvel Comics) and Thing (The Addams Family)), so it makes sense to further disambiguate. Second, per MOS:THETITLE, "The" should be dropped since the Thing is often referred to with a lowercase "the". Due to the fact that there are two changes in the title I am proposing, I'd appreciate if we voted the following ways: Support both, Support first/second and oppose second/first, and Oppose both. EDIT: Apologies in advance to whomever closes this request, I hope I am not making determining consensus difficult.
