User:Dhartung/Requested moves draft

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

Discussion to find consensus is encouraged for page moves requested on this page. Requested moves may be implemented if there is a Wikipedia community consensus (generally 60% or more) supporting the moving of an article after five (5) days under discussion on the talk page of the article to be moved, or earlier at the discretion of an administrator. The time for discussion may be extended if a consensus has not emerged.

What requested moves are not for:
Before you begin, please note that requested moves are only for moving articles, and sometimes templates. It is not the place for the following:
 * Unobstructed, uncontroversial moves: Moves of this nature can be accomplished by any logged-in user whose registration was more than 4 days ago. Use the [move] tab located at the top of every page. See Help:Moving a page.
 * Category move requests: To rename a category, list it on categories for discussion.
 * Image move requests: To rename an image, re-upload the image with the name you want, and then change the relevant links to reflect the new name, and then list the old image on images and media for deletion.
 * Merge requests: To merge two articles, make a request at proposed mergers or be bold and do it yourself.
 * Cut and paste move fix requests: To request page histories to be merged, list them at cut and paste move repairs.
 * Obstructed moves that only involve capitalisation: These moves can be requested with the template capitalmove is available; see Category:Requested capitalization moves.

Steps for requesting a page move

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

Current proposals
''Please list new proposals at the top of today's section (July 29) in the format described above. Actual discussions should take place on the listed talk page, not here.''

Procedure for admins
See Moving guidelines for administrators.

Multiple page moves
For single page moves with more than one option for the destination name:
 * Talk:page to be moved -- page to be moved to new page or new page two etc -- {brief reason for move} -- ~

For block moves:
 * Talk:page to be moved -- page to be moved 1 to target page 1
 * page to be moved n to target page n
 * {brief reason for move} -- ~
 * {brief reason for move} -- ~

An example of how to request to move a block of pages:
 * Talk:The Levellers -- Levellers to Levellers (disambiguation)
 * The Levellers to Levellers
 * the word "The" should be removed from the Levellers page. -- ~

Another example of how to request to move a block of pages:
 * Talk:Third world -- First world to First World,
 * Second world to Second World and
 * Third world to Third World
 * This was a move made earlier in the year as a block move, after listing on this page because all three were blocked by edits to the target pages -- ~
