This page is for the requesting of page moves by normal users. The average user's ability to move pages has been rescinded due to frequent abuse by vandals; as such, users will need to submit requests (similar in nature to those on Speedy Deletions and Protections) for pages to be moved by a sysop.

Guidelines for requesting a Page Move

Copy the template below (Or just type it), replace the text in red with the relevant details, and paste the template under the Move Request Queue heading. A day after a sysop has taken action on the request, move requests should be moved to the Archive.

Move Request Queue

Umbrella pages

Umbrella (Group)

The supposedly disambiguating term in the brackets is uselessly vague. I propose moving to Umbrella (musical group) and turning into a redirect to Umbrella. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 13:29, 3 July 2011 (BST)

Turning what in to a redirect to umbrella? The current page or the resultant redirect from the move? Frankly, I'd support the first, but I doubt you meant that.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 18:17, 3 July 2011 (BST)

Apologies, could have worded that more clearly. I propose moving Umbrella (Group) to Umbrella (musical group) and then making Umbrella (Group) just another redirect to Umbrella. (Or deleting it, I suppose, but that'd be more effort.) ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 23:44, 3 July 2011 (BST)

I've moved it to Musical group, and I deleted the redirect. I really don't see anybody searching for it with the parenthesis, and the links were mostly about the musical group.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 22:25, 7 July 2011 (BST)

Umbrella

Pretty sure no groups but Umbrella Corporation are active any more, so I propose moving this to Umbrella (disambiguation), making Umbrella redirect to Umbrella Corporation, and adding a hatnote link to the disambig page on Umbrella Corporation. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 23:50, 3 July 2011 (BST)

Also: holy fuck is this place ridiculously wrapped up in red tape. On Wikipedia: any normal user could have done this in less time that I've spent writing about it. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 23:51, 3 July 2011 (BST)

Recent Actions

Arbies resolution stuff

Someone do me the following moves:

• Cobra/Diplomacy to Cobra (group)/Diplomacy
• Cobra/Guide to Cobra (group)/Guide

They are all clearly C7.

Will handle dealing with all incoming links myself, and would normally do so along with the page moves. However, given current drama I prefer to give the job to a thirdman op. -- Spiderzed█ 09:50, 3 July 2011 (BST)

I'd prefer to wait until the Arby's is settled before moving them, but your claim to ownership of these is undisputed. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 13:29, 3 July 2011 (BST)

Have made surface copies for now without sys-op powers, which should do until later. I was mostly concerned about red links, especially to the guide page (which is a featured guide). -- Spiderzed█ 17:13, 3 July 2011 (BST)

Fair point. If you hadn't made copies already, I'd move 'em now. It's ridiculous that you have to ask… I really need to work on my proposal to fix this and related issues. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 23:55, 3 July 2011 (BST)
