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 admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

• If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please use the submission wizard to submit your draft or user sandbox page for review at Articles for creation instead of listing it here.
• Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself.
• If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.

• 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: the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection 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. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
• 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, the Requests to revert undiscussed moves subsection 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. 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.
• 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.

• Samuel Shapiro (Illinois politician) → Sam ShapiroSam Shapiro (currently a redirect back to Samuel Shapiro (Illinois politician)) (move · ) – Governor Shapiro was commonly referred to as Sam, see his infobox and his campaign merchandise here and here and here and here. Using the common shortened first name is consistent with the pages for other Illinois Governors including Dan Walker, Jim Edgar, Pat Quinn, and (current governor) J.B. Pritzker. This title also shortens the article's name. Alternatively the redirect could be made to Samuel H. Shapiro, which is a redirect to the same page currently but has a shorter name than the current article. Srekcins (talk) 05:25, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  Contesting - both Samuel Shapiro (Maine politician) and Samuel Sanford Shapiro sometimes referred to as "Sam Shapiro" as well. See [1] and [2]. Sam ShapiroSam Shapiro should be redirected to the base Samuel Shapiro page. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 10:33, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  "Sam Shapiro" has now been redirected to its extended-name DAB page. You can remove this request now as and when the nominator is ready for RM enactment. Intrisit (talk) 09:59, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  I've reverted that. Sam Shapiro has redirected to the Illinois politician since 2005. Please use WP:RFD. 162 etc. (talk) 17:47, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  As Amakuru stated above, "Sam Shapiro" should be targeted to the longer-name DAB page — I'm even as surprised as what that you deem Amakuru's target suggestion controversial. Like... Even if I list this at RFD, this ain't my request. Reply this to Amakuru directly and not me! Intrisit (talk) 19:28, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  @162 etc.: do you have any rationale for reverting the above change of redirect beyond "it's redirected to the Illinois politician since 2005"? I personally can't see any particular evidence that he's the primary person associated with that name, or even that he's commonly called "Sam" at all (his obituary in the article doens't do so). We can go to RFD if you really insist, but I'd like to at least have a solid reason why you're objecting... Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 12:37, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  You can make these arguments at RFD, yes. 162 etc. (talk) 16:46, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Swedish National Financial Management Authority → Swedish Agency for Financial and Public Management (move · ) – Since January 1 this year, the Swedish Agency for Financial and Public Management (in Swedish: Statskontoret) has been merged into the Swedish National Financial Management Authority (in Swedish: Ekonomistyrningsverket). The agency has also changed its name to the Swedish Agency for Financial and Public Management. Therefor, I suggest the article's headline should be changed to the new angency's name. /~2026-33773-6 (talk) 14:04, 16 January 2026 (UTC) {{{sig}}}[reply]

@~2026-33773-6: Can you provide a source for this name change? HurricaneZeta^C 16:01, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it has been cited in the article. HurricaneZeta^C 03:52, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The English version of the Sweden government website still uses the original name: [3]. That may be a translation or workload issue; if the real Swedish name of the agency has changed in recent government documents, I can't see it due to uncertain online translation. ----DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:12, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible it is a little bit confusing what is going on since the changes were implemented just some weeks ago. Therefor it is possible that the new name has not been visible at every single page on the Swedish government pages. However, the agency who previously in Swedish was named 'Ekonomistyrningsverket' (in English: the Swedish National Financial Management Authority) is from January 1 this year now called in Swedish 'Statskontoret' (in English: Swedish Agency for Financial and Public Management). Therefor, I believe that the article should change its name based on that facts. There are several sources on the page who proves that the name change is real. /~2026-40830-5 (talk) 14:53, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• WGI (radio station) → WGI (AM)WGI (AM) (currently a redirect back to WGI (radio station)) (move · ) – Change to standard name for an AM band radio broadcasting station Thomas H. White (talk) 14:25, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Thomas H. White Sorry, the (radio station) disambiguator was arrived at via a 2019 RM on Talk:KCLA (Arkansas). So a new RM will be needed to change it again. Bensci54 (talk) 17:04, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

How sure are we that XOGUS99 isn't a sock of Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Scottish12345678? * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:47, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery: Even if XOGUS99 isn't, I'm almost certain the article is LLM-generated. My guess is XOGUS99 asked ChatGPT to translate the Korean Wikipedia article for them. Yue🌙 (talk) 19:13, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Behavior suggests that this user is based in Korea (he makes edits to Korean text) but I don't see much resemblance to the pattern described in the LTA report on Scottish12345678. At present a full move discussion is running on the article talk page. I suggest that the technical move request be closed. The article is not bad.

• Template:Sv (disambiguation) → Template:Sv (move · ) – I know the latter page is salted because it has been repeatedly recreated; however, I think that making it a template disambiguation page could be better for users. That said, it does appear to have been a redirect to {{Sv icon}} (now deleted) from 2012 (?) to 2020, and then a redirect to {{Sock vote}} from 2022 to 2023, so maybe making it a template disambiguation page would be more surprising for those looking through old page revisions?
