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:..."
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 submit it for review at
Articles for creation, by adding the code {{
subst:submit}} to the top of the
draft or
user sandbox page 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.
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=reason for move}}
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
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.
If your request involves reverting a move, place it here.
Contested technical requests
Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
Battle of Wiłkomierz→Battle of Pabaiskas (currently a redirect back to
Battle of Wiłkomierz) (
move·discuss) – Harmonization with the article's text. The new name is also the most commonly used in academia, as Google Scholar gives 19 results for "Battle of Pabaiskas"
[1] whereas only one for "Battle of Wiłkomierz"
[2].

+JMJ+ the current page title is a result of a RM discussion. Please open another one if you wish to move it.

Shinwari is a surname because in the world, the last name indicates a person's ancestry or tribal affiliation, being that of the Shinwari tribe. The Shinwari district in rural Parwana province isn't going to be confused with anyone because of how unknown it is. Tell me if you still think this is a needed clarification.

Exactly, there's only one meaning to the word "Shinwari" anywhere. The District is named after the predominant tribe, the surname is from members of the the tribe.
Shinwari has solely one use, people write up history in different articles on the tribe, history of India, Afghanistan, Anglo-Afghan Wars, ethnic background in biographies etc and they'd like to write
Shinwari, there is no comparable usage on a wiki article on this website where someone will need to link
Shinwari (District) or Surname, only the tribe. Needs to be properly named, for some reason the disambiguation page itself used take the name
Shinwari, an uncorrected mistake of years that can be fixed now.

I'm slightly hesitant to call it a "talk page consensus"... The RM was for a different title and was withdrawn, albeit that some participants stated a preference for
Federal Europe. It seems like if an alternative title is to be proposed it should probably be discussed at a fresh RM, or at least have let the original RM run its course and closed by an independent closer. —

@
Neveselbert: Moved this to Contested Requests. This is not obviously uncontroversial.
