'''Requested moves''' is a process for requesting a change to the title (move) of an article, template or project page on Bharatpedia. For information on renaming files, categories and other items, see ''[[#When not to use this page|§ When not to use this page]]''.

{{anchor|please}}
Before moving a page or requesting a move, please review the '''[[Bharatpedia:Article titles|article titling policy]]''' and the guidelines on '''[[Bharatpedia:Disambiguation#Primary topic|primary topics]]'''.

Any [[Bharatpedia:User access levels#Autoconfirmed and confirmed users|autoconfirmed]] user can move a page using the "Move" option in the editing toolbar. See [[Help:How to move a page|how to move a page]] for more information. If you have no reason to expect a dispute over a move, [[Bharatpedia:Be bold|be bold]] and move the page. However, it may not always be possible or appropriate to do so:

* Technical reasons may prevent a move. For example, a page may already exist at the target title and require deletion, or the page may be [[Bharatpedia:Protection policy#Move protection|protected from moves]]. In such cases, see ''[[{{#ifeq: {{FULLPAGENAME}} | Bharatpedia:Requested moves | | ../ }}#TR|§ Requesting technical moves]]''.
* Requests to revert recent, undiscussed and controversial moves may be made at [[BP:RM/TR]]. If the new title has not become the stable title, the undiscussed move may be reverted. If the new title has become the stable title, a requested move may be necessary to determine the appropriate title.
* A title may be disputed, and discussion may be required to establish [[Bharatpedia:Consensus|consensus]]. See ''[[{{#ifeq: {{FULLPAGENAME}} | Bharatpedia:Requested moves | | ../ }}#CM|§ Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves]]''. The requested moves process is not mandatory in every case. An informal discussion on the article's talk page may sometimes help editors reach consensus.
* A page should not be moved, and a new move discussion should not be opened, when a move request is already open on a talk page. Instead, please participate in the existing discussion.
* Unregistered users and new users who have not yet become [[Bharatpedia:User access levels#Autoconfirmed and confirmed users|autoconfirmed]] cannot move pages through the normal page-move interface.

Requests are generally processed after seven days. If consensus supports the move, a reviewer may carry it out after this period. If consensus supports retaining the existing title, the request will be closed as "not moved". If the outcome remains unclear, the request may be relisted to allow further discussion or closed as "no consensus". See [[Bharatpedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions]] for further information.

[[Bharatpedia:Move review]] may be used to challenge the outcome of a move request, provided that the applicable procedures are followed. If an issue cannot be resolved through discussion on the closer's talk page, a move review may assess whether the closure was reasonable and consistent with the [[Bharatpedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Determining consensus|principles and intent of established practice, policies and guidelines]].<includeonly>__TOC__</includeonly>

==When not to use this page==
{{shortcut|BP:NOTRM|BP:RMNOT}}
Separate procedures apply to moving certain types of pages and to changes that do not involve moving a page:

*'''Making an uncontroversial move''' – if possible, [[Bharatpedia:Be bold|be bold]] and [[H:MOVE|move the page yourself]]. If you cannot do so, see ''[[{{#ifeq: {{FULLPAGENAME}} | Bharatpedia:Requested moves | | ../ }}#Requesting technical moves|§ Requesting technical moves]]''.
*'''Renaming a category''' – propose the change at [[Bharatpedia:Categories for discussion]].
*'''Renaming a stub template''' – propose the change at [[Bharatpedia:Categories for discussion]], as stub templates are associated with corresponding categories.
*'''Renaming an image or other file''' – see {{section link|Bharatpedia:Moving a page|Moving a file page}}.
*'''Moving pages from the draft namespace or user space to the article namespace'''
** '''Unconfirmed users:''' use the {{querylink|qs=title=Bharatpedia:Articles_for_creation/Submitting|2=submission wizard}}, if available. See [[Bharatpedia:Articles for creation]].
** '''Confirmed users:''' move the page yourself if you have the necessary permissions.
*'''Merging two articles''' – propose the merger through a discussion at [[Bharatpedia:Articles for deletion]], where appropriate, or [[Bharatpedia:Be bold|be bold]] and follow [[BP:MERGETEXT|the merger procedure]].
*'''Splitting an article''' – submit a request at [[Bharatpedia:Proposed article splits]], if available, or follow [[Bharatpedia:PROSPLIT|the article-splitting procedure]].
*'''Requesting that page histories be merged''' – list the request at [[Bharatpedia:Requests for history merge]], if this process is available.
*'''Challenging the closure of a move request''' – use the [[Bharatpedia:Move review]] process, where available.

==Undiscussed moves==
{{Shortcut|BP:RMUM|BP:BOLDMOVE}}
[[BP:AUTOCONFIRM|Autoconfirmed]] editors may move a page without discussion if all the following conditions are met:

* No article exists at the proposed target title;
* There has been no previous discussion about the page title in which an objection to the proposed title was raised; and
* It is unlikely that another editor would reasonably disagree with the move.

If you disagree with an earlier bold move and the new title has not been [[BP:TITLECHANGES|in place for a long time]], you may revert the move yourself. If technical restrictions prevent you from reverting it, you may ''[[{{#ifeq: {{FULLPAGENAME}} | Bharatpedia:Requested moves | | ../ }}#Requesting technical moves|request a technical move]]''.

[[BP:PMWAR|Move wars]] are [[Bharatpedia:Disruptive editing|disruptive]]. If you make a bold move and another editor reverts it, '''do not''' move the page again without discussion. Instead, follow the procedures described in [[{{#ifeq: {{FULLPAGENAME}} | Bharatpedia:Requested moves | | ../ }}#CM|§ Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves]].
