Right-of-way (property access)[edit]

I need assistance/advice. My change of name to Right-of-way (property access) (removal of hyphens) was reverted by 162 etc.. This was based on the claim that there had been no discussion. The truth is that my intentions were indicated on the Talk page of the article and on an associated article, Right of way. As after several days no objection was raised (I had expected some response) I acted in accordance with WP: Be bold. Rwood128 (talk) 14:29, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since your WP:BOLDMOVE was reverted, you should open a requested move by following the instructions at WP:RM/CM. SilverLocust 💬 08:20, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 25 June 2024[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

‹ The template Edit semi-protected is being considered for merging. ›

for the current discussions section show requests for last 10 to 11 most recent days instead of 7 and make elapsed listings after a 10 or 11-day listing period instead of 7 173.72.3.91 (talk) 23:40, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done This is the wrong process (it's a request for a bot to be recoded, not an edit request), and needs a much broader discussion before being implemented anyway. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 01:58, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

helpful links section in the RM template[edit]

Since there's a huge disparity between the amount of watchers between here and the template talk page, allow me to link Template talk:Requested move#helpful links section from here.

Indeed, the top of this page seems to have some helpful search links that sound like they could also be included in such a list of helpful links in the template (to help people find previous RMs for the same topics). --Joy (talk) 21:42, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Before I request[edit]

I first brought this to the Teahouse and then once again here: Article Page; but I am not really sure how to go about requesting 2 page moves in one request. I would like to move the article Saddle tramp as the main article under that title at WP and move the (disambiguation) page to its own disambiguation title - which will be linked from the header link on the Saddle tramp article. But it is not very clear how to do that on the Requested moves page. Thanks. Maineartists (talk) 13:26, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Maineartists: Check out Wikipedia:Requested moves § Requesting multiple page moves, in particular the template example shown there. – Hilst [talk] 13:46, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding how to request[edit]

I'm not sure where to find the templates for requesting a page move I.e opening the discussion. It will be more logical to have this information prominently at the top of the page. As it stand, the first /lead is filled with the closing instructions and a page mover guide, etc, but doesn't seem to have an immediate clear guidance on how to request a move or a link to do so. Has anyone considered this? Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 06:40, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What could potentially be split and moved out is the list of technical requests to just below the instructions for the controversial moves. Nothing else should be changed since this is an information page on all moves. The lead accurately summarises what moves are there and what to do. Technical move instructions should still be at the top as we do get plenty of the technical requests, more than the number of controversial discussions. – robertsky (talk) 08:48, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
