Requests to revert undiscussed moves
Contested technical requests
- Isma'ilism → Ismailism (currently a redirect back to Isma'ilism) (move · ) – spelling per the OED and MW, as well as consensus from the only discussion of this on the talk page — kwami (talk) 02:41, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- Though the simpler version (Ismailism) is supported by various guidelines (MOS:AR, MOS:ISLAM, and WP:TSC), this exact move has been reverted before [1], so I believe a move discussion is required. The discussion on the talk page shows significant support for both versions and in my opinion is not enough to demonstrate consensus on this. Toadspike [Talk] 07:31, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Kwamikagami I am contesting this request, please press the "discuss" button in your request to open an RM. Toadspike [Talk] 07:35, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Toadspike: where are you seeing "significant support for both versions"? The discussion seems to be (among those who offered an opinion) unanimous that it should be Ismailism, with rationales given, so naming policy appears to favour the move. I would be inclined to move this and then if someone objects they can always revert and demand a full discussion later. — Amakuru (talk) 10:12, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Amakuru I read the comments of Constantine, Ogress, and Iskandar323 as either partially or fully supporting the use of an apostrophe. Toadspike [Talk] 14:37, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- To be clear, I am not opposed to the move and you may perform it if you like. Toadspike [Talk] 14:41, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

AimanAbir18plus (talk) 14:58, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
- @AimanAbir18plus This was already moved (by you, two months ago) and then reverted as an undiscussed move. It will require a discussion to move forward. ASUKITE 16:07, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
