• {{RMassist/core | 1 = Corel Ventura | 2 = Ventura Publisher | discuss = | reason = Defunct software, hasn't been sold by Corel for over two decades. The bulk of secondary coverage, both historical and current, refers to it by its original name. See WP:COMMONNAME. | sig = DigitalIceAge (talk) 02:06, 12 June 2025 (UTC) | requester = DigitalIceAge}}
• {{RMassist/core | 1 = Cape Woolamai, Victoria | 2 = Cape Woolamai | discuss = | reason = Primary topic for this name; the state name is not needed. | sig = – numbermaniac 07:06, 12 June 2025 (UTC) | requester = Numbermaniac}}
• {{RMassist/core | 1 = Shuttle phasmids | 2 = Shuttle phasmid | discuss = | reason = The plural "s" is not needed. | sig = ~ HAL333 23:48, 12 June 2025 (UTC) | requester = HAL333}}

{{Hatnote|If your request involves reverting a recent move, place it here.}}

• {{RMassist/core | 1 = Geneva Conference (1954) | 2 = 1954 Geneva Conference | discuss = | reason = Undiscussed move. Article was moved originally moved to "1954" in 2017 due to WP:NATURALDIS and was stable. Edit summary cited "synchronized with Geneva Conference articles" but why should this be "synchronized" with unrelated articles? The date is commonly included as a direct part of the name in sources ([https://www.wilsoncenter.org/publication/the-1954-geneva-conference example]), not as a Wikipedia-internal disambiguator. | sig = SnowFire (talk) 04:42, 12 June 2025 (UTC) | requester = SnowFire}}
• Also pinging {{ping|Greenknight dv}} for visibility. SnowFire (talk) 04:42, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

{{Hatnote|Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.}}

• {{RMassist/core | 1 = June 2025 Los Angeles protests | 2 = 2025 Los Angeles protests | discuss = | reason = There's no other notable protests in Los Angeles in 2025 at Wikipedia. Although there was another protest exist in February, no separate article about the specific event at the city in February, and "2025 Los Angeles protests" already redirects here. | sig = 103.111.102.118 (talk) 01:11, 11 June 2025 (UTC) | requester = 103.111.102.118}}

:: Only if the scope of the article broadens to the February activity. Putting just the year makes it ambigious in light of that the February event is written somewhere else here. – robertsky (talk) 10:46, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

::When I say broaden, it need not be a full article or section, it can also be part of the Background section to illustrate that there have been protests in 2025 before June 2025. – robertsky (talk) 10:48, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

::Also worth noting there was a high-participation RM @Talk:June 2025 Los Angeles protests/Archive 1#Requested move 8 June 2025 closed as "no consensus" mere hours before this technical request was made, after two days of discussion. Whether to include June was only a minor point in the discussion but it was raised, and has been raised elsewhere on Talk, and is contested. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 13:25, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

• {{RMassist/core | 1 = London Life Insurance | 2 = London Life | discuss = | reason = Moved the play of this name to disambiguated page London Life (play). The more famous insurance company, currently using the title London Life Insurance should have the title London Life. | sig = Tsc9i8 (talk) 13:43, 11 June 2025 (UTC) | requester = Tsc9i8}}
• :@Tsc9i8 More famous based on what? In the instance multiple topics are ambiguous, we base our decision off of WP:PTOPIC, we can look at various factors such as pageviews, historical and modern usage in sources, web search results, google NGRAM and trends results, among others. Typically if it isn't very obvious (which is rare), a discussion is a more productive way to decide. We would also need to decide if "London Life" is the common name of the insurance company, which it may or may not be (despite what they call themselves) ASUKITE 15:47, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
• ::The play is obscure: there are no unique sources on it, and it ran for only 36 performances. The insurance company was around for 125 years and per the bibliography on the page, there are numerous books dedicated to it. "London Life" was its common name, as seen here: https://www.canadalife.com/about-us/who-we-are/our-history-london-life.html. Tsc9i8 (talk) 16:06, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
• :::WP:RMT is used for technical requests. It is not used for primary topic grabs. OP, please start a discussion per WP:PCM. 162 etc. (talk) 18:38, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
• ::::I don't think there's a primary topic between these two and also the London Life magazine. I just disambiguated the incoming links, and they were actually distributed evenly between the three topics. I've created a dab page at London Life, which I think is how it should stay.  — Amakuru (talk) 19:10, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
• {{RMassist/core | 1 = Gothic (upcoming video game) | 2 = Gothic 1 Remake | discuss = | reason = See the talk page, where a consensus between (so far only two) participants has been reached. Gothic 1 Remake is the proper title as per WP:COMMONNAME. The article has been moved four times already ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gothic_%282025_video_game%29&diff=1143642682&oldid=1143642645 1])([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gothic_%282025_video_game%29&diff=1204149962&oldid=1204141388 2])([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gothic_%282025_video_game%29&diff=1212394772&oldid=1212394445 3])([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gothic_%282025_video_game%29&diff=1283608787&oldid=1282253446 4]). All moves were done without a prior discussion. But not this time. The title "Gothic 1 Remake" is already existing as a redirect, because one of the four moves (2) was to "Gothic 1 Remake". The user that this move was done to is the User:Timur Khodyrev. He is a member of the developer of the game (Alkimia Interactive). But I am not; Im just a fan of the Gothic series. The current title is misleading, because developer aswell as publisher have never really set a release date...the game is just expected to be released this year. "Gothic 1 Remake" is the official title of the game (see the official site) aswell as the multiple sales sites (Steam, GOG, Publishers Store)...which are linked on the talk page of the article. | sig = LennBr (talk) 22:31, 30 May 2025 (UTC) | requester = LennBr}}

:: @LennBr If the article has previously been moved a few times then you'll need to start a RM. Two people in a year old discussion is not enough consensus for this. CoconutOctopus talk 23:03, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

:::@CoconutOctopus Alright. If the game gets released within this year I am fine with the current title. But as long as the release date is not fixed to 2025, the title can be misleading. Therefore I would appreciate that you move it to Gothic 1 Remake. I was the person, who created the article. I had chosen the title "Gothic (remake)" back in 2023 as a start. Not one day later, the article was moved to "Gothic (upcoming video game)"...until it was moved to "Gothic 1 Remake". LennBr (talk) 14:25, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

:::@Admin: I am still unable to move the article to "Gothic 1 Remake". I would like to request that you do it for me. Thanks in advance. LennBr (talk) 19:37, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

::::@LennBr they aren't going to. This requires a discussion - you can click the "discuss" link above, fill in your rationale and submit to open one. Multiple moves indicate possible disagreement over the title, so we need to agree on one at this point before moving it. ASUKITE 16:01, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

• {{RMassist/core | 1 = Draft:War 2 (2025) | 2 = Draft:War 2 | discuss = | reason = Why the unnecessary (2025)? | sig = Kailash29792 (talk) 10:29, 12 June 2025 (UTC) | requester = Kailash29792}}

:: @Kailash29792 Please see the objection by BusterD. GTrang (talk) 15:30, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

{{Hatnote|Edit this section only if your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators). Place your request in another section if it only requires a page mover.}}

• {{RMassist/core | 1 = LGBT bishops | 2 = LGBTQ bishops | discuss = | reason = CONSUB | sig = Ninixed (talk) 04:54, 12 June 2025 (UTC) | requester = Ninixed}}

:: @Ninixed page protection is preventing me from moving this. Appears consistent and the 'Q' was partially supported in the recent RM (which had minimal participation) ASUKITE 15:54, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

:::Looks like this was already here, but also above - script seemed to handle that well. I'll leave my comment in any case. ASUKITE 15:56, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
