There are hundreds of articles about enzymes with titles that do not conform to IUBMB recommended names. For example, the article currently called "Muconolactone Delta-isomerase" should be "Muconolactone Δ-isomerase". (Some other examples are worse than that.) After trying to understand the relevant help page I thought at first that { {Correct title|reason=conform to IUBMB name|Muconolactone Δ-isomerase} } (without space between { and {) would change the name, but it doesn't. It produces a note:
That's a lot better than nothing, but it's not ideal. If the change needs to be made by an administrator that's fine for a single article, except that there are hundreds of similar examples, and I don't want to give an administrator the burden of doing them all.
On going back to the help page I realized that I had been reading the wrong section. So I tried Move, but that produced an error:
But searching for Muconolactone Δ-isomerase tells me that no such page exists! Athel cb ( talk) 13:29, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

talk) 19:29, 5 July 2022 (UTC)I'm on a Wikiproject (Wikipedia:WikiProject RuPaul's Drag Race) where it appears that a consensus has developed for changing the name of the project. We've discussed it informally and now with a formal "template:Requested move" and support there. I'm sure the close and move will be more complex than just moving a mainspace page. Is there anything else that needs to be done before the week is up? Naraht ( talk) 20:51, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

The association recently went through a name change. The new name is American Association for Women in Radiology. We would like the change reflected accordingly. Thanks! AAWRNew ( talk) 17:59, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page. |
When using Special:MovePage, and selecting Move associated talk page box, the talk page is moved, and a redirect is left on the old talk page title.
I strongly feel that this function should, instead of a redirect to the new talk page, leave Template:Talk page of redirect. This would be in addition to Template:R from move (which it already does).
However, I don't have any idea if this would be remotely popular, or how I'd propose it, so I'm asking for an admin's opinions. (please include {{ping|CityUrbanism}}

is removed, those links no longer reach the intended discussions: they are broken. For example, many page moves are preceded by a discussion on the talk page of the page that it is intended to move. If the discussion is closed as successful, the page move action will often have in its summary a link to that discussion so that people curious as to the reason why the move occurred will be able to find it. --

But I'm not 100% sure what I see is what "Most users will find". My "Move" is under "Tools", right of the watchlist star. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 06:34, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
I want to move an article following an RM discussion period (see here). The target is a redirect to the current title but it has a talk page, and that collides with the being-moved talk page. I don't see this covered in the project page. I'm an admin, but it's been a long time since I moved a page and I want to handle this properly; what is the accepted procedure here? I'm thinking that it might be best to manually incorporate the content of the target talk page into a subsection of the Requested move ... section on the talk page being moved before making the move. Advice solicited. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 12:09, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
The discussion here may be of interest to some, as it raises some core questions as to wp:commonname. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:CCC9:7E7B:26A9:1834 ( talk) 18:49, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
When Mathematical modelling of infectious disease was moved to Mathematical modelling of infectious diseases, its talk archives did not move with it, and the header of the talk page no longer linked to the archives. I've now corrected this example.
I would like to add a prompt to this how-to guide advising people to look for such archives and move them as necessary (this would seem to be appropriate next to the instructions about changing the auto-archiving settings). But I'm not very experienced with moving pages so first wanted to check whether such archives should have been automatically moved by some other mechanism, or whether the manual check that I'm discussing is already discussed somewhere I haven't found.

We would like to change "1079 Life" to "Life FM (Adelaide)" Startybartfast ( talk) 05:04, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
How to move pages that are inaccessible due to technical reasons, i.e. they have certain patterns or characters that have at some point made them inaccessible? For example, BBC: On This Day and BBC: In Concert can't be accessed nor moved because they now redirect to the bbc: wiki. I guess they can be moved with Special:ApiSandbox but when I tried it in another wiki, it gave me an "invalid name" error message or something like that. Are there instructions anywhere how it's done? 2001:14BA:9C98:7100:7DDB:D27C:73FF:4061 ( talk) 06:46, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi,
Recently I moved List of highest points in California by county to List of California county high points and I would like to change the dozens of backlinks to this page to reflect the move. In practice I suppose it doesn't matter because the backlinks target the redirect which ultimately lands on the correct page, but the majority of these backlinks are in the "See also" section in plain text and I would prefer they read the correct title.
Is there an easier way to fix all of these without manually changing everything listed on the "Pages that link here" page? This would take hours for me to do manually and I'd definitely prefer a quicker solution.
Thanks! Pugchump ( talk) 19:56, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
