Page mover

I am applying for the permission of page mover so that I will be able to carry out page moves without worrying about being blocked due to the target page already having a redirect, which then requires me to make a technical request and fill up the backlog. This particularly would help when the grammar or spacing of an article title is changed, and if there are subordinate articles relating to the main article, I will be able to change them as well en masse. I believe I meet all of the basic requirements, and I do have significant experience in page moving, and especially in initiating and participating in move discussions. A few examples of successful page moves I initiated and discussed in were: Sirius XM → SiriusXM, American Athletic Conference → American Conference (NCAA), and Delaware Valley → Philadelphia metropolitan area. I also participated a lot in the discussion to ultimately have the Stanley Cup Finals page changed to Stanley Cup Final.
Using the example of SiriusXM, when the title was changed to reflect the official branding and common usage by removing the space, this required the titles of all of the pages for SiriusXM channels to be changed as well. I was able to change some, but not all, and this required me to have to fill up a backlog on the WP:RM page, which obviously have been more efficient with this permission.

I am hereby requesting the page mover privilege. On multiple occasions I had to request uncontroversial moves, as I was not able to move the page myself. Most of these requests were due to WP:NPP and requested after reverting the WP:CUTNPASTE moves by other editors and re-doing the moves properly. Usually I helped the editors to request the move themselves, see, for example User talk:Worvandae#Renaming the page, but on few occasions I had requested the move myself to assist the original editor (see, for example, Talk:Spotsylvania Courthouse, Virginia). Sometimes I needed the move to unscramble the situation in the article I was working on, see, for example, Talk:Iron oxide red#Requested move 13 May 2023. I also create articles in my user space and occasionally need to move them over a redirect, the latest one was User:Викидим/Mikogami.
I do have the corresponding right in Russian Wikipedia. Викидим (talk) 06:17, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting that I receive an indefinite reactivation of the page mover perm after my temporary permission expired. I have utilized the perm primarily to implement an RfC that has been taking quite a bit of time, but have found it beneficial when dealing with new page patrolling and AfCing. The original granting of my temporary page mover perm last month can be viewed here. Should I find that I no longer require the perm following the complete implementation of the RfC, I'll likely ask for it to be pulled. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:17, 16 September 2025 (UTC)

Howdy. Just noticed normal users aren't able to move categories. There are some specific pages/cats regarding misnamed medieval Chinese states and the officials involved with them that I'd like to fix but I think my edit history generally and my helpful use of a similar privilege at Wikimedia Commons should allow adding this, letting me tidy up my own corners of the project and help people when (e.g.) clear consensus about a primary topic switch pops up. — LlywelynII 05:47, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

I'm familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines regarding page moving and naming. I also know how page moving works, and I would love to help in Requested move. Destinyokhiria 💬 09:29, 19 September 2025 (UTC)
