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:..."
If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

Uncontroversial technical requests
Contested technical requests
- West Side Story (Original Broadway Cast) → West Side Story (Original Broadway Cast) (move · discuss) – Shouldn't West Side Story be the only thing italicized? I'll admit, I don't know if the "Original Broadway Cast" is part of the title. Saturdayopen (talk) 04:49, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Italics are not done this way, but while we're at it: West Side Story (Original Broadway Cast album) would make more sense. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:31, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Rajneesh → Osho (currently a redirect back to Rajneesh) (move · discuss) – Osho is what he is known among the masses. It is appropriate to move him to his public name. Even his books are published under as and his organization is named after Osho AppuSunkad (talk) 10:16, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose. This is very far from uncontroversial. See the article talk page for a lengthy litany of past move requests. I'd hesitate to even list this one for discussion, unless someone thinks there's a genuine chance that consensus or the evidence has changed. — Amakuru (talk) 13:28, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Tor (anonymity network) (currently a redirect to Tor (network)) → Tor (network) (move · discuss) – simpler disambiguation term Deku-shrub (talk) 22:01, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose. It isn't just a "network", it's also a software that you can download. I don't think the proposed name adequately explains to a user what the subject is, and the present title is better per WP:RECOGNIZE. — Amakuru (talk) 13:30, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Revolt of 1173–74 (currently a redirect to Revolt of 1173–1174) → Revolt of 1173–1174 (move · discuss) – Comply with MOS:DATERANGE. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 07:10, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose. MOS:DATERANGE permits two-digit years where the range is a pair of consecutive years. The current title is fine, and in line with many other articles. — Amakuru (talk) 13:34, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
