Uncontroversial technical requests[edit]
- Bicycle User Group → Bicycle user group (currently a redirect back to Bicycle User Group) (move · discuss) – Change to sentence case (MOS:AT) Sauer202 (talk) 08:16, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- Northern League (United Kingdom) → Northern League (British neo-Nazi organisation) (move · discuss) – WP:AT ambiguous disambiguation is a bad idea , WP:PRECISE insufficient precision to identify topic. There are several sports leagues located in the UK with this name listed at Northern League (disambiguation) -- Norther League (England), Northern League (Scotland), Northern League (speedway), Northern League (ice hockey) -- 65.92.244.143 (talk) 04:04, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- KFF Tirana AS → Tirana AS (currently a redirect back to KFF Tirana AS) (move · discuss) – The club's name has always been Tirana AS and shouldn't be confused with a different club which has a similar name, KFF Tirana. Kj1595 (talk) 17:16, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Kj1595 Are they different? KFF Tirana says they were previously named Tirana AS. Unless I'm mistaken, the AS page should be merged into the KFF Tirana one as they're largely redundant. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 16:13, 4 June 2024 (UTC)- I have yet to find a single Albanian source which refers to KFF Tirana as the successor club to AS Tirana. AS Tirana formed its own history, independent of KF Tirana. Not only in name but in the logo the club used. Kj1595 (talk) 18:45, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- Pinging @Fjorilda09, who added Tirana AS's statistics to the KFF Tirana page. --Ahecht (TALK

- Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl → Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (currently a redirect back to Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl) (move · discuss) – Most sources and the teaser trailer use the ampersand (https://variety.com/2024/film/global/wallace-and-gromit-new-film-premiere-date-title-feathers-mcgraw-teaser-1236026928/), in keeping with Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. NathanielTheBold (talk) 18:13, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- 1 to 3 (EP) → 1 to 3 (currently a redirect instead to Suho) (move · discuss) – Unnecessary disambiguator. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 • [𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 04:12, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves[edit]
Contested technical requests[edit]
- Salumi → salume (currently a redirect back to Salumi) (move · discuss) – Singular form. JackkBrown (talk) 06:50, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- Doesn't seem uncontroversial - salumi has much higher usage than salume.[1] And probably matches the usual salami rather than salame too. — Amakuru (talk) 09:32, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Amakuru: all right, but "salami" (English word; in English the plural is mostly used for some foods, and I still don't understand why; e.g. "panini") in Italian is "salame", while the singular of "salumi" is "salume". JackkBrown (talk) 10:20, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- Chaudhary Charan Singh College of Law → Chaudhary Charan Singh Vidhi Mahavidyalaya (currently a redirect back to Chaudhary Charan Singh College of Law) (move · discuss) – name according to official website i.e. https://www.ccsvm.org 14.139.183.121 (talk) 17:45, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- Per WP:OFFICIALNAME, we don't automatically call it what the institution itself calls it, we should go by the common name in reliable 3rd party sources. Several sources in the article use the present name, and it also has the slight advantage of being recognizable in English. Suggest a discussion might be in order. — Amakuru (talk) 09:10, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- 2022 Beijing Sitong Bridge protest → Beijing Sitong Bridge protest (currently a redirect back to 2022 Beijing Sitong Bridge protest) (move · discuss) – Undiscussed and unnecessary move Amigao (talk) 00:24, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Amigao you should be able to move this back by yourself? – robertsky (talk) 02:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- W. D. Gaster → W.D. Gaster (currently a redirect back to W. D. Gaster) (move · discuss) – The name of this character is W.D. Gaster without a space between W. and D. It looks like there's a space because in Undertale a period takes up the same space as any other character. Diamantinasaurus (talk) 20:19, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Diamantinasaurus Wikipedia standard is to put spaces after periods in initials. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography#Initials. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 01:52, 8 June 2024 (UTC) - (edit conflict) (not opposing (or supporting)) Is it strange to think MOS:INITS applies even to a fictional character? (
An initial is capitalized and is followed by a full point (period) and a space (e.g. J. R. R. Tolkien).
