I want to help with the renaming of various LGBTQ child pages as a result follow-up to the main article LGBTQ now being LGBTQ as a result of the concluded Talk:LGBTQ#Requested move 14 August 2024 discussion that I initiated. Most of the child pages all have existing redirects that need to be page swapped and many are not just 1-iteration, so need to WP:ROUNDROBIN swapped, for which Page Mover permissions are required. I am aware of the policies around page moving and will respect the permissions as such. Raladic (talk) 16:43, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Raladic, what's the scale/scope of the pages needing moved? Best guess is okay, I don't necessarily need a specific number (my thought process here is wondering if WP:RM/TR might be a better route). (please do not ping on reply) Primefac (talk) 12:49, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- Many, basically for many years all sub-pages that have the article title "LGBT" have followed the principle of "when the time comes that the main article 'LGBT' gets rename, then we'll rename the others" - that time has come now, so basically all sorts of other pages (and categories) that currently have LGBT in the title should be updated to LGBTQ now per WP:COMMONNAME, so basically very many pages under Category:LGBT that have LGBT in the name, including those categories as well.
- Also likely the WikiProject LGBT itself. If there is some automated way to achieve that in bulk, then that of course would also be fine if that is what you were trying to get at with the Technical Request link. Raladic (talk) 14:31, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- Naively, there are more than 1,000 pages when searching for articles with titles containing "LGBT". Even if it is just 10% of these being processed, RM/TR would be burdened with an onslaught of requests. – robertsky (talk) 17:47, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Done for two months to clear out this single task. Primefac (talk) 15:06, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

General moves. Recently I've wanted to move some voting theory articles (e.g. participation criterion) to rephrase them in terms of their associated paradoxes (e.g. the no show paradox). I've typically found this makes them more intuitive to most people. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 00:17, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Not done per lack of demonstrated need, lack of RM and RM/TR experience, and more broadly speaking a rather high percentage of move reversals compared to the total number of moves. Primefac (talk) 12:44, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- Huh, TIL I apparently have a high percentage of move reversals; I can only think of one that I noticed. How can I check on move reversals? – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 16:41, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
