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:..."

  • To list a technical request: edit 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.
  • 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.

@CWenger: I'd say they fall under the Articles on items such as scissors or handcuffs are not located at awkward, unnatural titles like scissor or handcuff exception. Cf. french fries. - UtherSRG (talk) 23:40, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@UtherSRG: I wouldn't call it "awkward" or "unnatural" to say Chicken McNugget though, it's even used like that in the article. Whereas "scissor" or "handcuff" are virtually never used as a noun. Can't explain French fries though. CWenger (^@) 23:46, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think this might be a reasonable request considering Chicken nugget's location. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 23:56, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
